FAQs
-
There’s no fixed “batch” or cohort. RTC is designed as an ongoing system you can plug into as long as you’re building. Founders typically stay active 12–18 months (pre-seed → series A) as they move through experiments, labs, and funding readiness.
-
Yes. RTC isn’t exclusive — it’s a human accelerator designed to complement, not replace, traditional programs. Founders often use RTC to sharpen conviction and traction before applying, or to stay grounded and accountable after joining other accelerators.
-
RTC itself is not a fund. We surface signal and momentum through the OS and Signal Showcase, giving you visibility with our capital partners. Verified Pro members also receive curated warm introductions to aligned investors.

-
Signal is our quarterly founder showcase summit. Unlike demo days or pitch theater, Signal is earned — members surface proof and progress through weekly experiments. Founders share their momentum in front of top VCs, entrepreneurs, and operators.
-
Most groups are either social clubs or accelerator programs with heavy equity costs. RTC is a human accelerator: lightweight, continuous, and focused on experiments + conviction. It’s designed for the AI era — combining agentic intelligence, human labs, and investor visibility into one seamless system.
-
RTC is built for early-stage founders — from idea through initial traction. You don’t need revenue or a full product, but you do need conviction and the willingness to test it weekly.
-
At minimum: one experiment per week in the OS. Verified members also join Vision Labs (weekly or bi-weekly) and participate in quarterly Signal showcases if eligible.
