Here are reasons you may not want to join the Founders 500!
Expensive
The $135 monthly fee adds up to $1,620 a year - capital you could otherwise use to purchase a premium microbrand watch.Unconfirmed Partner Brands
With no finalized roster of watches yet, there is no knowing whether the brands you care about will appear in the rotation.
Pre-order Windows
Some brands have pre-order windows. There is no guarantee that you will get to experience a rotation piece before a brand's pre-order window closes.Unproven Concept
This hasn't been tried before and with many things unknown there is no guarantee that this model will succeed.
You may be wondering then, indeed, why should you consider joining?
Well if you got this far, it means you are passionate about microbrands.
But are you passionate enough to want the community to thrive? Brands need a dedicated audience to survive, and we need their innovative and price-accessible designs.
Now, of course, financial incentives must align: brands need to remain profitable, and you need to see genuine value in your membership.
So, here is our guarantee:
While we are onboarding an extensive roster of partner brands, you will help us prioritize the inaugural collection by voting on your top 10 most-wanted ones. Our guarantee is simple: if we fail to secure at least 7 of these 10 highest-voted brands with a 12% – 15% member-discount (which will help offset your membership fees, see FAQ), you will receive a full refund. Furthermore, if we are not ready to ship the inaugural rotation by September 1st, 2026, you will receive a full, no-questions-asked refund.
