The Founding 500
Become One of the Founding 500.
The Founding 500 are the first people choosing to help organize the spending we are already doing.
What You Are Joining
This is not another request to buy something you do not need. It is an effort to give ordinary purchases a direction—to turn scattered spending into visible, measurable economic activity.
What Happens Next
1. Enter the Market
Choose a participating company in the Radical Market Studio Market.
2. Make Your Purchase
Complete your purchase with the participating company through the Radical Market Studio market.
3. Report Your Experience
Becoming one of the Founding 500 requires more than making a purchase. Tell people what actually happened — good, bad, or somewhere in between.
The Founding 500 are not being asked to promote companies. They are helping us document whether the market works. Good experiences and problems both belong in the public record. If serious problems are not resolved, Radical Market Studio can reconsider whether a company should remain in the market.
That is how Founders help test the market, inform future customers, and build accountability alongside organized economic activity.
Verification and Founder Number
RMS reviews the purchase and public report. Once the requirements are verified, you receive your permanent Founding 500 number and founder status. You may begin your submission before the report is complete, but verification is completed after the public report is available.
Submit Your Founding 500 Information
RMS may contact you if additional information is needed to verify your participation. Do not include payment-card or other sensitive financial information.
