How the price lock actually works
  • • You pay ₹499 every month (or ₹4,990/year — 2 months free). Not once. Every month.
  • • That rate is grandfathered for life — when we raise prices for new founders, yours stays at ₹499/mo. Forever means forever at this rate, not one-time-and-done.
  • Cancel anytime — no lock-in. Come back later and you'll pay whatever the rate is then (usually higher).
  • • Payments go through Razorpay. GST invoice each month. 30-day money-back on the first payment.

Direct line to the team

Monthly Pioneer Brief from the founding team, quarterly Town Hall, and a Pioneer-only WhatsApp channel where you ask questions and shape the roadmap.

Every future feature, included

Whatever we ship — new modules, new intelligence layers, new surfaces — lands in your account at zero extra cost. Forever.

Pillar One

A price that compounds in your favour, forever.

₹499 every month — not once, every month. Recurring subscription, cancel anytime.

What "forever" means here: the rate is locked forever. When we raise public prices (and we will), yours stays at ₹499/mo for as long as you stay subscribed. This is not a one-time lifetime fee.

IVL is in its first year. As the platform grows, public pricing will reflect that growth. Pioneers don't pay what new members pay. The rate you claim today is the rate you keep — for as long as you stay.

Most subscriptions get more expensive over time. Yours doesn't. That's the Pioneer privilege, in one sentence.

Pillar Two

Founding-member status, recognised once, yours forever.

Pioneer Founders are formally recognised as the people who joined first. Your standing is permanent. Even if you eventually leave, that status was earned and is part of the record.

Your Pioneer Founder badge appears on your IVL profile, on your downloadable certificate, and on the public Pioneer roster (if you opt in). You also receive a small Pioneer welcome kit by post — see the perks list further down.

A founding-member line on your profile, signed and dated. The kind of credit that earns the right to compound only because you took the bet early.

Pillar Three

Direct access to the people building this.

Pioneers do not just use IVL. They shape it.

Every month, you receive a written Pioneer Brief from the founding team. Real depth. What we shipped, what we learned, what is next. Things public users do not see.

Every quarter, you join a live Pioneer Town Hall with the CEO and C-Suite. You see the roadmap before it goes public. You vote on what gets built next.

A small Pioneer Council of 8–12 Pioneers is hand-picked each quarter for an intimate working session — earned by activity, not by paying. Anyone can be selected.

A Pioneer-only WhatsApp channel keeps you in the loop in real time.

Pillar Four

Every future upgrade, included. Forever.

IVL will quadruple in scope over the coming years. New surfaces. New modules. New intelligence layers. Public pricing will climb to capture each new capability.

Your Pioneer seat does not change. Whatever we ship, you receive — included in your locked rate, no upsell, no upgrade prompts.

You also see every new feature first. Two ways: a polished early-access lane (default), and an opt-in alpha lane where your feedback shapes the final version.

What lands when

Three deliverables. Real dates.

Pioneer status is not a status collectible. It's a working membership with shipped commitments. Here's what your seat earns you, on the calendar.

First call · 15 June 2026

Monthly closed-door roadmap call

A live 60-minute call with the founding team. You see what we shipped that month, what's coming, and you vote on what we build next. Recorded for Pioneers who can't attend live.

Active from day one of your seat

Profile verification priority

Your startup or fund profile gets fast-track human-reviewed verification within 48 hours (non-Pioneers wait the standard 7-day SLA). Verification badge appears across your IVL surface.

Every public feature, 14 days early

Early access to new modules

Two weeks of head-start on every new IVL module — IC Memo Generator expansions, persona library updates, sector deep-dive packs, the Founder/Investor copilots. Default access. No queueing.

On top of these, you also get the founding-member perks above (locked rate forever, recognition on the public roster, monthly Pioneer Brief, Pioneer-only WhatsApp channel, and the Pioneer welcome kit).

The maths, simply

A regular Founder seat is ₹999/month at launch. Yours is ₹499/month — locked.

After one year: ₹6,000 saved at minimum. After three years: ₹18,000+ at minimum. If regular pricing increases — as is typical for SaaS as platforms mature — your savings widen accordingly.

IVL does not commit to specific future pricing changes. We commit to the principle: regular pricing reflects regular value. Pioneer pricing is locked.

FAQ

Honest answers to the questions Pioneers ask.

Yes. Your Pioneer rate is locked for as long as your subscription remains active. There are no scheduled increases, no anniversary adjustments, no inflation clauses. We commit to this in the Pioneer Agreement.
