The Founder Series

Ten founders. 2026.

Every founder story you have watched was filmed after it was safe to tell. This one is filmed while it is still happening. Four parts per founder, made the way a streamer would make it, shot to a standard a platform could pick up.

There is no stage requirement. There is a story requirement. A kitchen table idea is read with the same seriousness as a Series A, and the ten are a mix on purpose. Ten seats. All ten spoken for. Season one is closed.

Season one · First episodes out now on The Founders Cut

01 / Test us first

One film before any seat.

The series is a commitment, and you might want proof before you make it. The First Cut is one founder story, filmed and finished by the same crew to the same standard, and it stands on its own even if you never take a seat.

  • A studio session on camera, interview led and prepared with you in advance, so you tell the story rather than perform it.
  • One finished film, two to three minutes, cut to your brand guidelines. The piece you lead with on LinkedIn, the site, and the deck.
  • One revision round, and delivery inside two weeks.
  • Every raw frame yours, unedited, in perpetuity.
The First Cut
$2,500One film, one founder
First booking with Steadyro? Twenty five percent comes off at checkout, which brings the first film to $1,875. Sent by one of our partners? Use their code, so the introduction is credited to them. Otherwise the golden ticket, code GOLDENTICKET, runs through 3 September.

Card in, date held. A scope note follows the same day, and if we cannot make your date work it comes straight back.

And if the film becomes a seat, the First Cut becomes part one of your four, and what you paid is credited in full against the series. Seats are separate, by application and approval only, and the film is yours either way.

The full program

The rest opens with an email.

The four parts, how a season is designed, the training we carry for every founder, and the application itself. Leave an email and it opens now. The same list hears first about premieres and open seats.

No noise, a few notes a season, and one click gets you off the list.

02 / What it is

Nobody films the becoming. This series is built on it.

Most founders film the moment. By then the story is over. We film the road, released as you build, so the moment arrives with an audience already watching.

01

The making

What made you. The part you cannot go back and get.
02

The work

What you are building, shot while it is being made.
03

The belief

What you know the world has not caught up to.
04

The mark

Your defining moment, captured live.

The moment is yours to define, first doors or fourth company. Then a monthly cadence after, so the audience has somewhere to return.

You are a good fit if

  • Building in health, tech, fashion, wellness, or entertainment, at any stage.
  • You built the stage others shine on. Your story is untold.
  • Reinvented more than once. The next act is the biggest.
  • No outside money, everything to prove.
  • Scaling past the first win the world still knows you for.
  • Mission driven. The company leaves the world better.
  • A kitchen table idea and the nerve to build it in public.

03 / How it works

Nothing is filmed until the story is designed. With you.

The shape is decided with you first. Then we go and get it.

01

Apply

Two minutes. We read every one.
02

The Rider

Our intake. It knows what to ask.
03

One hour

Your four parts, designed with you.
04

The shoot

Our crew, our light, on location.
05

Delivered as we go

Four parts, cuts, stills.
06

It keeps running

Monthly, after launch.

Every series is commissioned by its founder. Scale, cadence, and terms are set in the design session, scoped to your stage. Seats are not first come. They are chosen.

04 / What we carry for you

Most founders are not building a company. They are becoming someone.

The hardest part is rarely the filming. Some of the most brilliant founders we meet go quiet when a camera turns on. The company is ready. The image has not caught up. Closing that gap is the work, and it starts weeks before we film.

Nobody is born ready. The series comes with the people who get you there, and the change becomes part of what the audience watches.

Everyone films founders.
Nobody films the becoming.
We train you for it. Body, mind, voice, presence. And we film the training, because that is the story.
Already confident with where you are, you go straight into filming.
Presence

How you carry it

Begins weeks before production does. Celebrity trainer Marcus Gaudin, Tier X at Equinox and top 50 company wide, builds you to the date, virtual or in home. Speech and energy coaching as needed. By the first shoot day you move like the person the audience expects.

Look

How you land

Image consulting first: how the person on screen should read, decided with you. Then the wardrobe, hair, makeup, and grooming that get you there, with a trial before the day and a standby artist on every filming day. The shoot is never the experiment.

Recovery

How you last

Recovery massage on set by our own therapist, and a quiet corner when the day runs long. The founders who look composed in part four were looked after in part one.

Together, these are The Finishing School. Scoped per founder through the Rider, our intake questionnaire. Virtual or in person, and priced to match.

06 / Apply

One question. That is the whole application.

Your details, then one question. Answer it in two sentences. We read every application and reply either way.

The series is a commissioned production, an investment in the company you are building, scoped to your stage through the Rider. Season one is closed. Applications here are for season two.

Your series, shaped

An example of the shape

“I want the world to know that what we are building will still matter in a hundred years, and that everyone who called it impossible will say they saw it coming. What I have never said out loud is that I do not know how to stop, and I am afraid of who I would be if I did.”

Yours will be nothing like that. It only has to be true.

Nothing here is published or shown outside our team. You decide what reaches camera, later, with us.

Goes to hello@steadyro.com.

07 / Know someone

Not your moment? Send us theirs.

If this is not the right time to apply yourself, recommend a founder who fits. If they take a seat, there is a referral fee with your name on it.

Goes to hello@steadyro.com. We only mention you with your permission.

08 / Next season

Season two begins Q1 2027.

Season one is closed. If your moment is next year, join the waitlist and hear first, before anything is announced anywhere else.

Goes to hello@steadyro.com. No noise, just first word.

09 / Not ready for a season

The Montage, and giving one.

A season is ten founders and a year of filming. The Montage is the shorter road to the same thing: six weeks coached, built around one full production day, so the progress and the stumbles exist afterwards instead of living only in memory. The session is $2,400. The cohort is $4,500 and begins 2 November.

It is also the one thing here you can give to someone else. Most founders will not book this for themselves, and someone noticed them before anyone else did. A gift is scoped with you, papered, and delivered with a card in their name.
