Marvex Studio is built by one person, in public, without VC money. The first 50 people who back it lifetime become Founders — numbered #1 through #50, with a binding vote on the roadmap, every future paid add-on included free forever, a hand-signed thank-you in the post, and the occasional mystery drop. Once #50 is sold, the tier closes for good.
Four things the other 250 million mind-map users will never have.
Pillar 01
A real vote on what ships next.
Every quarter you get a private roadmap ballot — the candidate features for the next release, voting open for 7 days, results binding (not advisory). Top three vote-getters ship in the next cycle. Founders shape what Marvex Studio becomes; everyone else gets to use what you decided.

Veto power against any feature that breaks the local-first principle
Pillar 02
Every future paid add-on. Free. Forever.
The base lifetime ($200) already gives you the full Pro toolkit forever. But Marvex Studio is a young product — there's more coming. The Law Pack ($10), the upcoming Image Pack, Team seats, anything we sell in the future as a paid add-on: included in your Founder license at zero extra cost. No grandfathering games, no "sorry, that's the new pricing" emails.
Law Pack ($10 today) — included
Image Pack (research images + watermark-free export) — included on release
Team seats / collaborative editing — included on release
Any future paid add-on we haven't dreamed up yet — included
Pillar 03
Surprises, in the post.
Real product launches deserve real-world artefacts. Every Founder gets a hand-signed thank-you note from me (yes, actual ink, actual envelope, posted to your address). And throughout the year there will be small mystery drops — a launch-day mug, an early-build sticker, the occasional limited-print poster of your own mind map's structure. Nothing announced in advance. That's the point.

Pillar 04
Your name, numbered, on the wall.
Each Founder is allocated a number from #1 to #50 in purchase order — and that number lives on. You get a numbered Founder badge that displays on your profile and inside Marvex Studio's sidebar (only your number, no email, no surname unless you opt in). The public "Founding 50" wall on marvex.app lists every Founder by chosen handle in order of joining. It's a permanent record that you got there first.

No catch — it's recognition. Building Marvex Studio without VC money means the first 50 people who pay up front let me ship faster, hire freelance design help, and code-sign the desktop binaries. In return, those 50 get a permanent seat at the design table plus every future paid add-on free. Once #50 is sold, the tier closes forever.
What does "every future paid add-on, free, forever" actually include?
+
Anything we ship as a paid add-on for the rest of the product's life. Today that's the Law Pack ($10). On the roadmap: Image Pack (research images + watermark-free export), Team seats (collaborative editing), and the AI Voice Notes pack. Anything we invent next year, the year after, all of it — your license absorbs it. The only thing it doesn't cover is third-party AI costs (those go to OpenAI / Anthropic / Google via your own API key, same as every plan).
How does the quarterly roadmap vote work?
+
Each quarter I publish a shortlist of 8–10 candidate features (with rough scope estimates). Founders get a 7-day private ballot — ranked-choice. The top three ship in the next release cycle. You can also submit your own feature for inclusion on the next ballot via the Founders-only suggestion form. Voting is binding, not advisory.
Is the badge visible to other users?
+
Inside Marvex Studio it shows in your own sidebar (just your number, e.g. "Founder #07"). On the public Founding 50 wall it shows your chosen display handle next to your number — you can opt out of the public wall and stay anonymous if you prefer.
What if I change my mind?
+
14-day full refund on the Founder purchase, no questions asked. Just email ceo@marvex.app from the address you bought with. After day 14, your Founder slot is permanent.
Can I transfer my Founder badge?
+
No — the badge is tied to the original purchasing email and isn't transferable. It's recognition for trusting the project early, not a tradeable asset. If you ever lose access to the original email, contact ceo@marvex.app and we'll restore the badge to your new email.
When does the Founder tier close?
+
The moment #50 is sold. After that the page redirects to the standard $200 Lifetime tier (same software, no badge, no future-add-ons-free guarantee, no vote). There's no extension and no "Founder 2.0" round — the number is the number.
