A free launch clinic for the first 30 selected makers.

A good fit

• A working MVP, public beta, or accessible prototype
• A clear product URL or demo
• Willingness to receive direct, specific feedback
• Willingness to review at least two other founding products
• No illegal, deceptive, hateful, exploitative, or unsafe products

What selected makers may receive

• A bilingual English and Korean launch presentation
• A human review of positioning and first-user experience
• Structured feedback from the founding maker circle
• Consideration for NESTED's weekly product showcase

From application to a clearer launch.

• Apply: Share your product URL, target users, and the launch problem you are currently facing.
• Review: NESTED reviews the product, messaging, and first-user experience.
• Launch Page: A clearer bilingual product presentation is prepared with the maker.
• Feedback Circle: Founding makers are invited to review and support other early-stage products.
• Showcase: Selected products are featured through NESTED's launch feed and content experiments.

What is not guaranteed

NESTED does not guarantee acceptance, traffic, users, sales, investors, revenue, or a fixed delivery date. The clinic provides review and launch preparation within available capacity.

What participating makers agree to

Participating makers are expected to respond honestly to feedback and review at least two other founding products. This is a program guideline, not a points or credit system.

Review timing

Applications are acknowledged immediately when saved. NESTED generally aims to begin review within 7–14 days, but timing may vary with product readiness and application volume.

How application data is used

Application details are stored privately for selection, review, and applicant communication. They are not published as a launch page without a separate review and publication step.

What structured feedback looks like

• Could you understand the product within five seconds?
• Who does the product appear to be for?
• What is the strongest part of the product?
• Where did the experience become confusing?
• What is the first thing the maker should improve?

Before you apply

Who can apply?

Solo makers, indie hackers, first-time founders, AI and vibe coders, and small teams with a working MVP, public beta, or accessible prototype can apply.

Is Founding 30 free?

Yes. There is no application fee for the Founding 30 cohort. Selection is limited by review capacity.

What will I receive?

Selected makers may receive a bilingual launch presentation, a human messaging review, structured feedback, and consideration for a NESTED showcase. The exact support depends on product readiness.

Do you guarantee users or sales?

No. NESTED does not guarantee traffic, sales, investors, or revenue. The program focuses on clearer positioning, bilingual presentation, launch preparation, and structured early feedback.

Does my product need to be finished?

It needs a working MVP, public beta, or accessible prototype that reviewers can open and understand. An idea without a usable demo is too early for this program.

Can non-Korean makers apply?

Yes. Applications are open internationally. You may request English, Korean, or bilingual communication.

What happens after I apply?

NESTED reviews the application and product link, then contacts selected makers using the submitted email. Reviews usually begin within 7–14 days, but timing can vary with capacity.

How is my submitted information used?

Application details are kept in NESTED's private operations database and used to review and contact applicants. A product is not publicly showcased without an appropriate review and publication step.
