Four ways to help build the city
How Founding 50 positions are earned
Founder tiers are earned by completing payment for a Featured Pro+ annual subscription. City Connectors earn a rank through the separate referral path after generating three verified paid annual Founder referrals.
Charter Founder
The first 20 completed Featured Pro+ annual subscriptions receive the earliest Founder rate and permanent chronological recognition.
City Pioneer
The next 15 completed Featured Pro+ annual subscriptions receive City Pioneer pricing and their place in the city's permanent launch record.
City Builder
The final 15 completed Featured Pro+ annual subscriptions complete the city's Founding 50 and retain their qualifying Founder rate.
City Connector
Earns a permanent rank after generating three verified paid annual Founder referrals in the same city.

Your number tells the story of when you helped build the city.
Founding positions are historical markers. Membership privileges may change, but earned chronology is not rewritten.
One person, one permanent position
A City Connector who later purchases an annual Founder membership keeps the original number. The additional Founder status is attached to the existing position.
Completed Featured Pro+ annual payment earns Founder rank
Pending or abandoned checkouts may temporarily reserve pricing availability, but the public numbered position is assigned only after successful payment.
City Connectors qualify through results
A Connector earns a numbered position when the third qualifying paid annual Founder referral is verified.
Departed members are not replaced
An earned position may become inactive or retired, but its number is not assigned to someone else. A returning participant resumes the same position.
