How Rayarc works

Free to join.
Earned to keep.

Rayarc is a free, application-only membership for founders. No money changes hands — access deepens as you contribute back.

The three layers

01
Toolkit

The exact stack a working studio ships with: component libraries, prompt sets, AI agents, funnel templates, and the 48-Hour System. Not a course library — the same tools we used to charge for.

02
Curriculum

A short, opinionated build track that turns the toolkit into a shipped product. Taught by a working operator, not a content creator. Structured to end with something live, not with a certificate.

03
Network

A small room of accepted founders. Curated introductions, feedback on live work, and referral loops. Kept intentionally small — the value is who's in it, not how many.

Who gets in

Applications are read by hand. We look for founders who are already shipping something — a product, a service, a project — and want the studio system to move faster and land cleaner.

We turn down more applications than we accept. Not because the bar is hostile, but because the network only works if everyone in it is a builder. If you're accepted, you keep membership as long as you keep building.

Contribution, not payment

Membership is free. Deeper access unlocks the same way real studios grow — by shipping and being seen doing it.

"What's the catch?"

No upsell. No paid tier waiting three clicks deep. No hidden agency pitch. The separate agency work still runs, but it lives outside the membership and never gets bolted onto it.

The real cost is selectivity and taste. We're building a small room of people who ship, not a mailing list. If that reads as a catch, this isn't the right room.
