Who we work with
Founders
You may have some or all of the below, but you must match a good % of these criteria for us to consider partnering. If you don’t, it’s nothing personal, but we just might not be able to help you as much.
- Deep domain expertise – you know your space better than anyone
- Specialists – you’ve got a particular set of skills
- Ready to go all-in – you don’t have to have the capacity to do this yet but you do need to be commited to making it happen
- Low fear – building something great takes resilience and a little delusion
- B2B – we love consumer products and can make exceptions but our audience are mostly business owners so you’ll get most benefit if you’re building for them

Corporates
Bigger companies sometimes need startup energy to stay relevant, stay ahead of the competition, and avoid disruption. That’s what we bring to the table. Here’s what we expect from you:
- An appetite for true innovation – let’s ditch the red tape and truly build something great
- Equally committed to the process – sure, we can take the reigns if you want but we’re not here to build things that help you greenwash
- Suitably resourced – the people, the capacity, and the budget to commit to the projects we work on together
- Focused on aspirational consumers & business owners – this audience is our bread and butter, we know what they want better than anyone else

Frequently asked questions
Is membership right for me?
We created Dffrnt to be accessible to everyone who needs it. You don’t need to be a mercurial founder yet, or even at all. Dffrnt is designed for ambitious, curious, rebellious minds – regardless of your circumstances. So, no matter who you are, what you’re building, or working on, if you feel like this sounds like you and the benefits sound exciting, we’d love to have you!
What if it's not right for me?
We’re confident you’ll find a home here at Dffrnt. So much so that we’ve taken as many steps to make it as easy for you to sign up and bow out if you ever want to.
What’s more, if you don’t find even one thing that’s useful for you, we’ll happily return your first months membership and learn to improve so we’re even better when you come back!
Discounts & credits you say? With who?
Our list of deals, offers, and credits on leading tools is something we’re very proud of but as the list is long, it changes regularly with new tools added all the time.
For a full list of the deals you can access, check our sheet here. When you sign up, you’ll get full access to the deals here to recoup the value of your membership many times over (many lifetimes over, in the case of one member!).
When do live sessions happen & do I need specific software?
We host all our live sessions directly in our community, so beyond your membership account, you don’t need any other software.
Sessions happen throughout the week at often at varying hours to ensure everyone can take full advantage of them. Want to see one at a different time, though? Just ask and we’ll do what we can to accommodate! Our community is built together and we take that very seriously.
