Founder Programme · Now accepting applications
Have you made
your marque?
Marque is the operating system founders use to run their own marketing without hiring an agency. We're accepting applications, admitting founders in small cohorts. Apply now and lock in founder pricing for life.
Why join
Four reasons to be in before the door opens.
Founder rate. For life.
Whatever the lowest paid tier is at general availability, you pay it permanently. Three years from now, you'll still be on day-one pricing.
Direct line to the team.
Monthly group call with the people building Marque. Your bug becomes a ticket. Your feature request becomes a backlog item. Sometimes that day.
Everything, first.
New layers, new channels, new agents — they ship to founder cohorts before they ship to anyone else. Often before we've finished the docs.
Founders making their marque.
You're not adopting alone. The cohort is the support network — a group of founders running their own marketing, comparing notes, sharing briefs.
Who this is for
You don’t have to wear all the hats anymore.
You’re doing it well, when you do it. The October Meta ads worked. The launch email had a 12% click rate. The LinkedIn post you wrote at midnight got more reach than anything your last agency produced.
But you can’t do it every week. October didn’t compound onto November. The voice in the launch email isn’t the voice on your homepage. You couldn’t reuse last quarter’s brief because you didn’t write one.
Marque holds the centre while you do the rest of your job.
How the programme works
Four steps. About a week, end to end.
-
01
Apply
Five questions. Takes most founders under five minutes.
-
02
We read it
A human reads every application. Within a week you'll hear back — admitted, waitlisted with timing, or a clear no with the reason.
-
03
Onboard with the cohort
Author your brand identity in a 90-minute working session. Write your first brief. Ship your first campaign with the cohort.
-
04
Lock the rate
At GA, your account drops to founder pricing automatically. Permanent. Non-transferable. Yours for as long as the account is yours.
Apply to the cohort
Five questions. One human reads every one.
No automated rejections. No "we'll be in touch" silence. A response within a week, every time.
Common questions
Before you apply.
What exactly is locked in for life?
Founders accepted from the waitlist receive our lowest published tier for the life of their account. Whatever the lowest paid plan is at GA, you get it. Permanently — for as long as your account exists.
How big is each cohort?
Small enough that we can work with each founder personally. We admit cohorts as capacity allows — not on a fixed monthly cadence.
When will I hear back?
Within a week. We read every application personally. If we can't admit you to the next cohort, we'll tell you when we can — not "we'll be in touch".
What if I'm pre-revenue?
Apply. The programme is for founders running their own marketing — revenue is less interesting than fit. A pre-revenue founder with a clear brief is exactly who Marque was built for.
What if I'm already big?
If you have an in-house marketing team or you're a corporate brand, the Founder Programme isn't right for you. Talk to us about corporate engagement instead.
Can I share my place?
No. Founder rate is tied to your account and isn't transferable. But you can refer another founder — we admit referrals on priority.
