The swanbase program
Growth, marketing and acquisition support for ambitious founders. You get in through the Pool, and you stay as long as your traction warrants it.
The rhythm
You get in through the Pool.
You can apply at any time of year. If we accept you, you enter the Pool: a trial period under real conditions, judged on the traction you produce. As long as you deliver, you keep the support.

Over the long term
The only judge is your traction.
Once the Pool is passed, you get long-term support: office hours, talks, workshops, annual retreat. No end of batch, no "graduation," the relationship continues as long as it's useful.
