THE IGNITION COHORT · JANUARY–MAY 2027

One business. Built properly.

You've been running a business. Now it gets the setup it never had.

Every January, Fastidious sponsors one US entrepreneur with no formal setup, and builds their business from the ground up on the Fastidious Engine. Not a course. Not a template. Your actual business, set up the way we set up our own, with us in the room. Applications close December 15.

Apply for the 2027 cohort

WHAT YOU GET

The Fastidious Engine, built around you.

  1. 01

    YOUR BUSINESS HQ

    One private place for your numbers, your procedures and your workflows. Routine work runs on rules. You review what needs judgment.

  2. 02

    THE BUSINESS SCHOOL

    The paperwork nobody explained: entity structure, EIN, state filings, sales tax. Questionnaires that get you to the right answer, not a lecture.

  3. 03

    YOUR BOOKS, DONE

    Bank statements in. Clean books and reports you can decide from, out. No accounting software subscription to learn or pay for.

  4. 04

    FIVE MONTHS WITH US

    January through May, working with the Fastidious team on your business. Every question answered. Every setup decision made with you, not for you.

WHO THIS IS FOR

You're already in business. It's just not set up yet.

You sell something. People pay you. And behind that there's some combination of no entity, no EIN, no bank account that's actually separate, no system that isn't your phone's notes app. That's not a problem. That's the brief.

We're looking for one solo entrepreneur with a real business and zero structure, who can commit at least seven hours a week from January through May. US only. The application is how we learn what your business actually needs, so answer it like you mean it.

ALREADY SET UP?

This isn't your door. If you've got an entity, systems and a few employees, start with a fit review instead.
