🜂 Founder Program
Help shape Tomoyo from the beginning.
Founders are not just early adopters. They are helping establish the culture, direction, and stewardship of the Tomoyo ecosystem itself.
Founder status is intended as stewardship recognition for the people helping shape Tomoyo early. ** Spots are limited **
Built slowly and carefully on purpose
The Founder experience is designed around meaningful interaction.
The goal is not an endless feed, shallow engagement, or noisy social pressure. The Founder Program gives early supporters a thoughtful place to help improve Tomoyo while keeping the product grounded in clarity, privacy, respect, and intentional growth.
Core System
The Founder’s Hub
The heart of the Founder experience. Everything else connects to this.
Announcements
More permanent updates for launches, milestones, decisions, and major changes in direction.
Polls
Quick founder input on colors, features, priorities, and product direction.
Feedback Channel
Structured submissions for bugs, feature requests, UX feedback, and general thoughts.
Question of the Month
Intentional engagement prompts like: “What would make Tomoyo indispensable to you?”
Beta Feature Access
First access to experimental features through toggle-based or feature-flagged releases.
Identity & Recognition
Founder status should feel meaningful, not transactional.
Founder identity recognizes people who helped shape Tomoyo during the early-building phase. It is not just a premium purchase. It is a small signal of stewardship and early trust.
Profile Enhancements
- Founder badge: displayed as UserName 🜂
- Profile page visibility: founder identity appears where appropriate.
- Future community areas: comments and shared spaces can carry the badge later.

Community Layer
Structured interaction first. Community later.
Tomoyo is intentionally avoiding a dopamine-feed approach. The Founder community can evolve in phases, with founders helping choose the healthiest version of what comes next.
Simple Founder Hub
No full community yet. Structured interaction, feedback, questions, and founder-led feature selection.
Founder-only discussion threads
Light interaction and focused discussion spaces, without infinite scroll or social noise.
Connected ecosystem
Potential links to Tomoyo Circles, Growth Partners, and other relationship-focused tools.
