Everyone who creates an account during our founding season earns permanent Founding Member status. No payment. No tier. Just early-supporter recognition — and real perks that stack forever.
Grandfathered into every future perk the community unlocks.
Permanent badge on your profile, forum posts, leaderboards, and every piece of content you publish. Recognized across both platforms.
Every action earns bonus UBT — catch logs, gear listings, trade offers, conservation backing, community posts. Stacks with every event.
2-4 weeks before public launch, get first-look and input on every new FT and TSI feature. Private feedback channel direct to the dev team.
Paired with a verified charter captain or experienced Founder for your focus species. Free community mentorship — no session fees.
Founder-only channels for gear swaps, fishing reports, bite windows, and direct Q&A with charter captains. First-look at sponsored partnerships.
Exclusive fishing challenges, bass battles, fly-only leaderboards. Sponsored prize pools from Bass Pro Shops and partner brands.
Your requests surface first when captains open their calendars. Verified Founder status carries weight with outfitters.
Any future perk the community unlocks — Founders get it retroactively. Your status is permanent and increases in value.
Founder badge travels with you to Translator Series and every sibling platform we launch. One account, one permanent status.
