Founder bios carry more weight than they should. A reporter deciding whether to take the call, an investor skimming a deck, a candidate browsing a prospective new employer. All three read the same text and derive a viewpoint from it.
Ours begins with what actually happened. A messy story told well is much more persuasive than a spotless story that happened at exactly the right moment.
It is often said that founders are the closest to the story. They are usually the worst narrators. By repeating what they consider important, they gloss over essential parts of the story, or spend three sentences on something of little to no importance to the outside world. An interviewer, however, has no personal interest in the myth, and will find the most believable version.
If you ask a model for a founder story, you’ll get a vague shape that includes an inconvenience, a story about a sleepless night, and a moment of enlightenment suggesting a more efficient approach. Journalists receive such a story every day. It is the quickest route to making a company with an unconventional approach sound like every other startup.
The exploration starts with an interview, generally of forty minutes. The writer is after the decision that was made that a skilled person may not have made, as that is what differentiates a founder story from a resume. It is followed by a first draft and a single red-lined edit where you remove anything self-promoting.
There is nothing we send out that we can’t cite a source for. Funding rounds are publicly documented, previous job roles are part of your history, and any piece of information about the company is one you have published or confirmed to us in writing. Every draft also goes through the detection suite before we send it, and the reports are attached.
One rate, whatever the format: $10 per 100 words. You are paying for the writer’s time and judgement, so the price scales with the words rather than with a package tier.
| Typical founder biography | Words | Writing | Fee (1%) | You pay |

| About-page founder story | 700 | $70 | $0.70 | $70.70 |

The writer receives 100% of the writing price. Our 1% fee is added on top of it, and 0.5% is donated to tree planting. Full pricing breakdown.
What the piece is for, who reads it, roughly how long it should be, and anything it must include or avoid. Links to your existing material help. If you are unsure, send what you have and the writer will come back with questions.
Up to 3 days. The writer has to read around the subject before writing it, so we quote honestly rather than promising an hour. If your deadline is tighter, say so in the brief and we will tell you before you pay whether we can meet it.
As a product of separate interviews, we write them as a set. The danger associated with co-founder bios is the unintentional ranking which makes one bio look like the real founder and the others look like employees. One person covering all of them keeps the balance even and keeps the shared origin story consistent.
In most cases, yes, since the role appears on the public record. We state the fact and leave out the complaint. If there is a settlement or a non-disparagement clause, please let us know, and our writer will work around the legal document and not your personal memory of it.

Reviews from completed, paid orders in this category.
I applied to 11 jobs with my own application and received 0 feedback. I ordered 3 custom applications, and the third received a callback. The job ad mentioned a comfort level with ambiguity, and the writer focused the paragraph on a project of mine that was all about ambiguity.
Our applications typically answer a question that is broader than the one that is being asked. That was not the case on this application. All sections stayed within the word count and within the question. I am not claiming direct credit for this, but we got the grant. This was the best application we have submitted to date.
I have compressed twenty years of shift work in to this submission. The writer wanted to know what I’d been promoted for, not what my job title was, so my CV is more of a progressive account than a list.
We do not ask you to take the no-AI promise on trust. Each draft is run through these platforms and the reports are attached to your delivery email.
