Four ways to help build the city
How Founding 50 positions are earned
Founder tiers are earned by completing payment for a Featured Pro+ annual subscription. City Connectors earn a rank through the separate referral path after generating three verified paid annual Founder referrals.
Charter Founder
The first 20 completed Featured Pro+ annual subscriptions receive the earliest Founder rate and permanent chronological recognition.
City Pioneer
The next 15 completed Featured Pro+ annual subscriptions receive City Pioneer pricing and their place in the city's permanent launch record.
City Builder
The final 15 completed Featured Pro+ annual subscriptions complete the city's Founding 50 and retain their qualifying Founder rate.
City Connector
Earns a permanent rank after generating three verified paid annual Founder referrals in the same city.

Your number tells the story of when you helped build the city.
Founding positions are historical markers. Membership privileges may change, but earned chronology is not rewritten.
A clear path to a numbered position
Complete an eligible annual Founder membership to earn a numbered place. City Connectors can also qualify through three verified paid annual Founder referrals.
Your number stays yours
Positions follow the order they are earned. If a member leaves, their number is not reassigned; returning participants resume the same position.
Charter Founder pricing is grandfathered
The Charter Founder annual rate is preserved on renewal, even if standard Pro+ pricing changes.
Earlier rank carries stronger commission shares
Founding tier determines your eligible commission rates across the program. Commissions depend on qualifying activity and are not guaranteed.
