Founders Program · VIP Early Access

Be first. Pay less. Shape the product.

Elevate Recruit and Elevate ATS launch to the public soon. A small founding cohort gets in first: at founding rates locked for life, with white-glove migration and a direct line to the team building it. Wave 1 goes live early October 2026.

⚡ Limited to 25 founding customers per product
Why join as a founder

What founding
members get.

🔒

Founding rate, locked for life

Two things. Up to 40% off your first year. Then from year two your rate reverts to the list price in effect on the day you joined, and stays there for the life of a continuous subscription. Public pricing will rise after launch; yours does not. Seat additions and tier changes are priced from that same locked list.

🗺️

A seat at the roadmap table

A 30-minute call each month with Rob and the product team. Founder requests go to the front of the build queue: and we ship weekly, not quarterly.

🤝

White-glove migration & onboarding

We move you off Bullhorn, Greenhouse, Lever, Workday Recruiting or spreadsheets ourselves: candidates, clients, jobs, history. Included at no cost from Recruit Professional and ATS Growth up; Starter and Launch founders get a guided import.

🏅

Founding member badge

Recognition on our site and in-app, plus early access to every new Elevate app and Marketplace agent before public release.

No payment today. Joining the Founders Program reserves your spot and founding rate. You pay nothing until your workspace is provisioned, and you can walk away any time before then.

The numbers

Your founding rate, in dollars.

Two products. Pick the one that matches your business. Founding rates hold for your first twelve months and apply whichever billing cadence you pick; from month thirteen you pay the list price shown here, locked.

Elevate Recruit · staffing agencies, boutique, mid-market & RPO

ATS and sales CRM in one, Kanban pipeline, onboarding, timesheets and billing. Priced per recruiter seat, month-to-month.

Annual billing saves 15% off list ($67 / $101 / $118 per seat): the founding and annual discounts don’t stack, and in year one the founding rate is the better of the two. Month-to-month with seats you can reduce, no paying for peak headcount through the end of a term.

Elevate ATS · in-house talent acquisition teams

Branded careers site, AI applicant ranking, scorecards and approval workflows, EEO/OFCCP compliance. Priced by company size, not per seat.

List prices are month-to-month; annual billing saves 15% off list. Every plan includes unlimited recruiter and hiring-manager seats, unlimited candidates, and MEL. No headcount tax for bringing hiring managers into the system.

The other half of the deal

What we ask in return.

Founding members are paying customers from go-live, not unpaid testers. The ask is deliberately light: and most of it is the thing you’re getting anyway, pointed in both directions.

Two named people

One executive sponsor, one day-to-day power user. The power user should be someone who actually does the work (a recruiter, a coordinator) not an observer.

Thirty minutes a month

That’s the roadmap seat. We bring what’s shipping and what’s next; you bring what’s working, what isn’t, and what’s missing.

Tell us when something breaks

Bugs and friction reported in a shared channel as you hit them. No formal reports, no testing matrix, no homework.

One 45-minute readout a quarter

A step back rather than a status update: where the product fits your operation and where it still doesn’t.

Use it for real

A founding workspace that nobody logs into helps neither of us. Go live in wave 1 and run actual work through it.

Reference rights

Permission to name you as a founding member and use your logo. Every quote, statistic and case study is subject to your approval before it appears anywhere.

Discretion on what isn’t shipped yet

Unreleased features, roadmap and preview builds stay inside your firm until they’re public. Everything you see in production is yours to talk about freely.

FAQ

Questions we get.

What does “locked for life” actually mean?

Two things. First, up to 40% off your first year. Second, from year two your rate reverts to the list price in effect on the day you joined, and stays there. Public pricing will rise after launch; yours does not. Seat additions and tier changes are priced from that same locked list, and we’ll confirm the exact figures for your plan in writing before you commit.

Is the 40% off year one on top of annual billing savings?

No, the two don’t stack. The founding discount comes off the list price, and at 40% it is much the better of the two, so it’s the one you take in year one. Pick whichever billing cadence suits your finance team; your founding rate is the same either way. From year two, the 15% annual discount applies to your locked list price in the normal way.

What happens if I reserve a spot and then change my mind?

Nothing. There is no card on file and no deposit. You can withdraw any time before your workspace is provisioned, and the spot goes to the next firm on the list.

How much work is the migration on our side?

An export and a mapping conversation. We handle the extraction, transformation and load, and we validate record counts with you before cutover. Plan on a few hours of your team’s time, not weeks.

What if the product isn’t ready for our workflow at go-live?

Then you tell us on the founder call and it goes to the front of the queue, that’s the whole point of the cohort. We ship weekly, so the gap between “this doesn’t work for us” and “this works for us” is measured in weeks. And you are month-to-month throughout.

Can we run both Recruit and ATS?

Yes: some firms do, particularly RPO providers who also hire internally. Tell us on the intro call and we’ll scope both under one founding agreement.

Are you asking us to leave our current system on day one?

No. Migration timing is yours to set. Several founding members will run parallel for a period before cutting over, and we’ll plan the sequence with you rather than to you.

Program terms

Elevate Recruit and Elevate ATS are in early access: features listed here may change, and some are on the roadmap rather than shipped today. The page above summarizes the program; the Founding Member Agreement is the instrument that governs it, and we send it before you commit to anything. It covers the founding-rate lock and what the lock excludes, data handling during early access, export on request, and how a spot is confirmed. Twenty-five spots per product. Pricing current as of September 2026.
