7 stages designed for solo founders with zero budget. Each stage has clear move-forward signals before you proceed.
1. Navigate the stages
Start at Stage 0 and work through each stage in order. Don't skip ahead — each stage builds on the last.
2. Open a task and read the how-to
Every task has a specific action, a reason why it matters, and a workaround if you're stuck.
3. Do the work, then check it off
Complete the task in the real world first, then mark it done. Progress is saved to your account.
4. Hit the signals to advance
Each stage has move-forward signals — specific proof points you need before moving to the next stage.
