Field notes

The Guild’s season is structured as a sequence of launch mixer, founder reveal, expo, and showcase, ending in a binding member vote. Its stated financing model combines member dues for a $10,000–$25,000 award with one sponsor per meeting covering operations. The page also sets a readiness threshold: candidates should bring a working MVP, early traction, and a clear next milestone for the money.
