Why become a Founding Tester

Only 15 spots. When they're gone, they're gone. And the discount stays valid forever — as long as you stay active.

The offer in 3 lines

• $29 one time to get in.
• 6 months included at no extra cost.
• After the 6 months → $19/month for life (instead of the standard $29). The discount stays as long as you keep the subscription active.

Honest disclaimer: if you cancel and then want to come back, you restart at the full $29/month price. The founding discount is tied to continuity — it's not inheritable or reclaimable afterwards.

What you get that others won't

• Direct access to the founder. Chris replies on WhatsApp for bugs, requests, ideas. The 15 voices we truly listen to while building the product.
• 1-to-1 onboarding. A 30-minute call with Chris to set up your Otto around your identity, contexts and tone of voice. No do-it-yourself onboarding.
• Roadmap input. The features you ask for take priority over the general public's, after launch.
• Locked-in pricing. Even when we raise the price for new users (and we will), you stay at $19.

Why only 15

Because at this stage Otto isn't bug-free yet, and every founding tester gets real attention from the founder. Above 15, I can't guarantee the quality of 1-to-1 support. So 15 and that's it.

When we open it to the public (right after the 15), the price will be $29/month with no setup fee and no direct access to the founder.

How to get in

1. You fill in the interview (4 min, 8 blunt questions).
2. If your profile matches (founder/freelancer, already paying for productivity tools), I reach out for a 20-minute call.
3. On the call I show you Otto live, we figure out if it makes sense for you. If so, I send you the payment link and in 2 min you're in.
