Private narrative judgment. Privacy by design.
US Narrative Sprint for Korean founders.
US Founder Desk helps founder-led teams turn product, traction, timing, and team proof into a narrative US readers can understand, remember, and believe.
Fit
- Small Korean founder-led teams preparing for YC, US investors, or the US technology market.
- Already have a product, demo, deck, application draft, or founder notes.
- Need narrative-driven judgment: what is clear, what is missing, and what proof should come next.
Sprint
The core service is a focused 48-hour US Narrative Sprint. Founding client pricing starts at $2,500. The sprint starts only after application review, scope call, mutual NDA, final scope, and payment.
- US-facing one-liner and 3–5 confidence anchors.
- Narrative review of product, traction, why now, category, and team proof.
- Redline of a YC application, pitch narrative, homepage, or memo.
- What to cut, what to emphasize, and what proof should be built next.
- Live Q&A for founder narrative decisions.
Boundaries
This is not a promise that the company will work, raise money, or get into YC. It is not pitch deck design, translation, or generic US expansion consulting.
The value is founder-level narrative judgment: how the US tech world may read the company, what the current facts actually prove, and what needs to be built or clarified before a high-stakes conversation.
Privacy
- No confidential decks, metrics, customer names, cap tables, or unreleased strategy before mutual NDA.
- Scope calls are voice-only, video-off, and not recorded.
- If there is no engagement, intake notes are deleted after the decision.
- After a sprint, client materials are deleted after delivery unless a short retention window is requested.
- No public client names, logos, or case studies without explicit permission.
The process protects your company idea, materials, strategy, and decision-making context before review begins.
Process
- Submit a short application with public context only.
- If there may be a fit, receive next steps for a private 20-minute scope call.
- If both sides proceed, mutual NDA comes before any sensitive materials or private proof.
- After NDA, final scope and payment are confirmed.
- After payment, the 48-hour sprint begins.
Application does not start the sprint. The fit call is for scope, not free consulting. Tactical review starts only after NDA and payment.
