Founding client program
Founding client program for crypto projects
We're taking on three founding clients: funded crypto and web3 teams with a real milestone ahead. You get senior-led marketing at founding-client pricing. We get honest feedback and permission to publish the results, with real numbers.
- ✦Three founding spots, then the program closes for good.
- ✦We start one founding engagement at a time. Next start slot: November 2026.
- ✦Applications close on 31 January 2027, or earlier if the spots are filled.
Who the founding program is for
Teams that are ready to launch and can measure what happens next.
- ✦You have closed a raise of $2M or more.
- ✦You have a dated public milestone in the next six months: a TGE, mainnet, testnet, exchange listing or major product launch.
- ✦You have a working product: MVP, testnet or live.
- ✦You're open to us publishing the results with real numbers.
Sectors: protocols, L1 and L2 ecosystems, DeFi, infrastructure, RWA, web3 gaming, NFTs and culture, and AI x crypto.
Not a fit: projects that want guaranteed token price, trading volume or follower outcomes.
What founding clients get
Founding pricing on your first term
A founding credit on your first token launch sprint or your first three months of retainer, shown next to our standard price in your proposal.
Senior attention on every deliverable
I lead every founding engagement myself and review everything that goes out under your name.
A direct line and a weekly rhythm
A shared channel, a weekly call and a written report every Friday.
Your standard prices held for 12 months
If you continue after the first term, the prices in your proposal stay the same for a year.
A joint announcement if the results earn one
When the numbers are strong and we both agree, we write, place and pay for a joint press release on the results.
Referral rewards from day one
Introduce a project that becomes a client and you're rewarded under our referral program.
What we ask in return
A case study with real numbers
We measure from week one and write the case study after your term. You review every figure before we publish.
An honest testimonial
A written quote at the end of your term. A short video is welcome, not required. It doesn't need to be positive. It needs to be yours.

Founding program questions
What is the Among Digital founding client program?+
It's a limited program where three funded crypto projects get senior-led web3 marketing at founding-client pricing, in exchange for permission to publish the results.
We're a new, founder-led agency and don't have published case studies yet. The program lets us produce them with real clients and real numbers, and gives the first teams we work with better terms than anyone after them.
Who can apply for a founding spot?+
Funded crypto and web3 teams with a working product and a dated public milestone, such as a TGE, mainnet or testnet, within the next six months.
In practice that means a closed raise of $2M or more, one person who owns the marketing budget, and upfront payment. For a token launch sprint, the launch date should be at least seven weeks away.
How much does the founding program cost?+
Our standard price for the engagement, minus a founding credit on your first term.
Your proposal shows both numbers side by side. The credit applies to our fee, not to your working budget for creators, media and tools, which stays with you. We work on packaged scopes, not hours, and invoices are paid upfront.
What do founding clients commit to in return?+
A case study with real numbers, an honest testimonial and permission to show your logo on our site.
You review every figure before we publish and can ask us to mask specific numbers. We don't ask for a positive review, only an honest one.
What if we can't share our name or numbers publicly?+
You can still apply: we publish an anonymised case study on our side, and you don't have to publish anything on yours.
Anonymised means we describe you by sector and stage, for example “an L2 ecosystem after its seed round”, and keep the figures. Tell us on the intro call what you can and can't share, and we'll agree it in the contract.
Why only three spots?+
Because I lead every founding engagement myself, we start one at a time, and three is what fits before the program closes on 31 January 2027.
Each engagement gets a fixed start slot. The next available slot is shown at the top of this page, and the program won't reopen after it closes.
Launching in the next six months?
Tell us about your project and your milestone. I read every application myself.
