A club for people who ship.
Meet 4 relevant founders in 30 minutes. No cold DMs.
You need your first 100 users. They ran a product-led launch for a creator tool last year — and both of you build for design-minded teams.
The cold DM is dead.
Ship Hours is live.
✕ The old way
- Write 40 cold DMs, hope for 2 replies
- Networking events full of people not building
- Async threads that never turn into a real conversation
● Ship Hours
- Scheduled 30-minute sessions, live on video
- 3–4 founders matched to what you need right now
- ~7 minutes each. Straight to the useful part.
Three steps.
Zero outreach.
Connect your links
Drop your LinkedIn, X and GitHub. We build your profile: what you're building, what you've solved, what you need.
Join a Ship Hour
Pick a scheduled 30-minute session that fits your week. Show up, camera on. That's the whole commitment.
Meet 4 builders
Rotate through short live video chats, about 7 minutes each, with founders matched to you. Keep the ones that click.
30 minutes. 4 rounds.
No small talk.
Matched on what you're building, not who you know.
No follower counts, no warm intros required. We read what you're working on and pair you with people whose experience is directly useful to you — and vice versa.
Talk to founders who've already solved your problem.
Your "needs" get matched against other founders' "solved". Seven minutes with someone who's been there beats seven weeks of guessing.
Bring the problem.
Leave with a lead.

Questions,
answered.
Is it live?
Ship Hours is in invite-only early access. We're opening the first batches soon. Join the waitlist and we'll email you when your invite is ready.
Is it free?
Yes. Ship Hours is free for founding members.
Is it safe?
Every member uses their real identity, verified through their LinkedIn, X or GitHub links. Members must be 18+, and sessions are never recorded.
How does matching work?
We match on industry, what you're building, and what you need versus what other founders have already solved, using the profile built from your links.
Stop DMing.
Start shipping together.
