Intake Fit Guide

Is This Journey For You?

TOM operates a high-intent, low-volume intake model. We read every application personally. Here is the honest fit guide.

βœ…

Strong Fit β€” Apply Now

Creative solopreneur or first-generation entrepreneur Based in or connected to Arizona's creative economy Idea stage through early revenue β€” serious about structure Can commit 8–10 hours per week for 12 weeks Coachable β€” open to hard feedback and willing to iterate Needs brand, strategy, or financial literacy support
⚠️

Not the Right Fit β€” Yet

Looking for passive learning with no accountability Can only commit less than 5 hours per week Not open to feedback or peer critique Outside Arizona with no connection to the creative economy Looking for a grant or direct funding source

That is okay. We would rather be honest upfront. Apply when the timing is right.

🎯

Surgical Logic Scoring

8 categories scored 1–5. Max: 40 points. Clarity of vision, business stage, time commitment, coachability, resource fit, Arizona alignment, brand readiness, legacy intent.

32–40 pts: Priority Outreach 24–31 pts: Standard Outreach + Discovery Call ⏳  16–23 pts: Waitlist 0–15 pts: Not the right fit at this time
πŸ“ž

The Discovery Call

Score 24+? You will be invited to a 30-minute discovery call. Not a pitch. A real conversation about fit, goals, and clarity β€” so we both walk away knowing if this is right.

Start the Process β€” Apply Now
Community Standards

High Trust. High Accountability.
No Exceptions.

These are not suggestions. They are the operating system of the cohort β€” set in Week 1, upheld through Demo Day.

🀐 Confidentiality

What's shared in the room stays in the room. Business plans, financial data, and personal stories are protected by TOM's Non-Disclosure Agreement.

⚑ Accountability

Attend all sessions on time and prepared. Complete homework before the following session. Missing 2+ sessions without notice may result in deferral.

πŸ™ Respect

Challenge ideas, not people. Offer feedback that is specific, honest, and constructive. Celebrate wins. Show up for each other.

The Destination

Demo Day Is Where the Journey
Becomes Undeniable.

Week 12. A public presentation to judges, mentors, and community partners. A brand system, a roadmap, a financial plan, and a polished pitch β€” built by you, over 12 weeks of real work. And then the runway opens. Founder's Flight Path is waiting.
