Your first paying client, one mission at a time.
Winside reads what you are good at, then hands you the next thing to do. A path tailored to your founder profile, ending with somebody paying you.
Free to start: your founder profile, three business ideas, your first mission.
How it works
What happens between opening the app and getting paid.
No course to sit through. You answer, the app builds, you do the mission. Then the next one.
-
Answer a few honest questions.
What you are good at, what people already come to you for, what you would rather never do again. You get a founder profile that names it.
-
Pick a direction.
Three business ideas drawn from that profile. Or bring your own and let Fi score it, honestly, with the one change that would raise the score.
-
Do the next mission.
They come in three chapters. Each one ends with a question; Fi reads your answer and remembers it for the missions that follow.
Where the missions come from
Not invented here. Taken from the founders who wrote it down.
The order of the missions is the order the best-known founder playbooks already agree on: talk to people before you build, ship something rough, put a price on it before you are comfortable, then ask for the money. Winside takes that method and cuts it into steps you can do before work, from your own answers.
- Y Combinator's advice to founders
- The Mom Test
- Alex Hormozi's offers
- Russell Brunson's Dream 100
Sources, not partners. None of them is involved with Winside.
Meet Fi
A partner on every mission. Not a chatbot.
- Reads what you wrote
Close a mission and Fi tells you what is off, what is missing, and what to keep.
- Drafts what you have to send
The Closer writes the message, the pitch, the follow-up, from your own words. You send it.
- Remembers
The mission in week six knows what you said in week one. Your journal exports as one document when you are done.
- Names the bottleneck when you stall
Stuck is a state the app expects. Fi points at the one thing in the way and hands you a way through.

Everything that proves it works is free.
You pay when you reach for mission two. Not before.

Then $29.99 a month, billed by Apple. Cancel from your Apple subscriptions whenever you like. No trial that quietly converts.
What you write stays between you and Fi.
When you ask Fi for a take, what you wrote goes to our relay and comes back with an answer. The relay keeps nothing. Your quest lives on your phone, there is no account and no login, so there is nothing about you for us to look up. The whole policy fits on one page, and it describes what the code does, field by field.
- No account, no login, no profile
- Nothing sent in the background: only when you tap for Fi's take
- Erase everything from Settings, any time
Questions
The ones people ask before they start.
Do I need an idea already?
No. The profile comes first, then three ideas built from it. If you already have one, Fi scores it on how well it fits you, how hard it is to copy, and who it is for, and tells you the one change that would raise the score.
Is this a course?
No. There is nothing to watch and nothing to read through. Each mission is one thing to do, with a closing question that Fi reads. The next mission is built on what you answered.
How long does it take?
The pace is yours. Nothing stops you closing several missions in an evening, and nine of them wait on the real world: a reply, a delivery, a payment. Expect weeks, not a weekend, because clients take weeks.
What does it cost?
Everything up to your first closed mission is free. The Full Quest is $29.99 a month, $9.99 for the first month, billed by Apple. Cancel from your Apple subscriptions at any time.
Android? Web?
iPhone only, for now.
From the person building it
I spent ten years as a freelance designer, so I know what it takes to find clients. But every time I started a project of my own, I had no blueprint and did things in the wrong order. That's why I built Winside: a step-by-step method inspired by the best founders.Nicolas, maker of Winside · hello@getwinside.com
