Why give it a weekend

No prizes for this one

This jam does not award prize money or credits. Everything below is what you take away from it, and it is the reason most people come.

  • An expert on your actual problem

    An hour of questions about your product and your list, not the topic in general.

  • Everyone else’s workflow, not just your own

    Everyone publishes how they did it. You write one and you read the rest.

  • A finished thing, not a plan

    A hard deadline and a room of people working the same 48 hours.

  • A permanent entry in the archive

    Your submission stays up under your name. Hide it whenever you want.

How the 48 hours run

  1. Done

    Joining opens

    Anyone can claim a place. Joining closes 24 hours before the deadline so there is time left to ship.

  2. Next up

    Kickoff

    The jam opens, the brief goes live and the resource pack unlocks.

  3. Joining closes

    The last moment to claim a place. After this the jam runs to the end with whoever is in.

  4. Deliverables due

    Submit what you shipped and the workflow behind it. Both are public by default, and you can hide yours at any time.

The expert

To be announced before the jam opens. The session runs live during the jam and takes questions about your product and your list, not the topic in general.

What you submit

**You have 48 hours to make how you make money meaningfully better inside your startup.**

Pre-revenue: set a first price and get it in front of someone. At $3k MRR: restructure the tiers you guessed at. At $30k: annual plans, expansion, usage pricing, packaging.

Pricing is the one domain where the change is nearly free and the consequence is immediate. That makes doing nothing the expensive option.

Possible directions: Pricing and packaging. Tiers. Trials. Checkout. Billing. Annual plans. Usage-based pricing. Upsells and expansion. Revenue tracking. A price increase you have been avoiding. Something else entirely.

Find the most important weakness in what you have today. Fix it. Run it. Show us what changed and why it is better.

Plus the workflow: where you started, what you did in order, what did not work, what you would change.
