The Application Process
We carefully select founders who will benefit most from the program. Here's how the process works:
Application
Complete a brief application form (takes ~2 minutes) sharing basic information about your startup and current challenges.
Applications are reviewed within 48 hours.
Alignment Call
A 30-minute conversation to discuss your specific product challenges and determine if there's a good founder-coach fit.
No pressure or hard selling - purely a mutual fit assessment.
Decision & Onboarding
Receive a decision within 24 hours after the alignment call. If accepted, complete payment and receive your welcome package.
If not a fit, you'll receive alternative resources and recommendations.
Why We Have a Selection Process
The Product Survival System coaching program is designed for specific founder challenges and stages. The selection process ensures:
- You get maximum value - We only accept founders who will truly benefit
- Group dynamics work - For occasional group sessions, we ensure complementary challenges
- Expectations are aligned - Both sides understand the commitment and approach
The alignment call was refreshingly honest. Gabriel told me directly that my startup was too early for his program and recommended free resources instead. That level of integrity made me wait until I was ready and apply again.
Who This Is For
This programme is designed for:
- First-time tech founders (pre-seed / pre-Series A)
- Small European teams (<10 people) who need proof, not theory
- Builders sick of "spray-and-pray" product launches
- Non-technical founders who want a step-by-step playbook
Not a fit if:
- You only want fundraising tips without validating users
- You can't commit ~6 hours/week for 6 weeks
- You're looking for generic startup advice rather than personalized guidance

Will Gabriel personally coach me?
Absolutely. We keep each cohort tiny so every founder gets direct attention.
Can my co-founder join the calls?
Yes. One fee covers up to 2 co-founders.

We understand founders have busy schedules. You can reschedule one session per program with 48 hours notice. All sessions are recorded for your reference.
What timezone are the coaching calls held in?
Sessions are scheduled in Central European Time (CET/CEST), but we're flexible to accommodate founders across European timezones.

What if I'm not accepted?
We provide specific feedback and alternative resources. Many founders reapply after addressing certain aspects of their business.
Program Content & Results

Indirectly. The deliverables (validated market, traction plan) strengthen your seed pitch, and Gabriel may introduce you to investor peers once milestones are met.
