This tier is where things shift from consumption to true participation. You’ll receive everything in Lite Sprint Access, but with a far more immersive, hands-on experience designed to move you forward each week.
In addition to the live weekly sessions, you’ll step into a dedicated small-group Founder Lab—an interactive working session where ideas are pressure-tested, challenges are unpacked, and real progress is made in real time.
This is for founders who want to build, refine, and execute alongside others operating at a higher level.

Weekly small-group Check-in sessions (Thursdays at 9am PT)
Pitch practice + Access to the Perfect Pitch Package

This is intentionally scarce by design—built for founders who don’t want more noise, they want access. This isn’t just additional content; it’s proximity, intimacy, and direct, unfiltered feedback from me.
Limited to just 3–5 founders, this premium tier includes everything in the Full Sprint Experience, plus a weekly live small-group session where we go deep on your real challenges. You’ll step into the hot seat, get tactical and strategic guidance in real time, and walk away with clarity, momentum, and decisions made faster.
This is where serious builders come to compress time, elevate their thinking, and operate at a different level.
Everything in Lite and Full
Weekly direct access to Nick via scheduled 1:1 mentor sessions
A front-row, transparent view into how Nick forged Founders Live from nothing into a global phenomenon.
Hot seats + pitch reviews during the group sessions
Direct access and introductions to Nick’s network, if applicable
Priority visibility + access
Outcome
Accelerated clarity + direct guidance from Nick

Most founders don’t need more information.
Founders need:
* CLARITY *
* STRONGER MESSAGING *
and
* THE ABILITY TO CREATE OPPORTUNITY *
That’s what this is.
Right now, you might feel like:
❌ Your startup is hard to explain
❌ Your pitch isn’t landing the way it should
❌ You’re working—but not gaining real traction
❌ You’re capable of more, but something isn’t clicking
YOU’RE NOT ALONE
Most founders ARE stuck.
NOT because they lack ideas…
BUT because they lack
CLARITY, SIGNAL, and MOMENTUM.
In this 4-week live, online sprint, you will:
✅ Sharpen your startup narrative
✅ Build a pitch people actually care about
✅ Learn how to create momentum (not wait for it)
✅ Develop a stronger founder presence
This is not a passive course.
This is a live founder experience.
