First, thank you to everyone.
Three weeks ago this community had 1,600 people. Today we're at 11,700. That kind of growth only happens when people show up, engage, and tell others about what we're building here. So before I get into the details: thank you for being here. Thank you for the questions in the comments, the builds you're sharing, the conversations in Discord. This community is what it is because of who's in it.
Now, the news.
Premium is going from $7 to $27. VIP is going from $49 to $97. Free stays free and it always will!
Ready to join? Head to Classrooms and click "The Vault" for Premium or "The Drawing Room" for VIP. It'll walk you through the rest.
Why the price is going up:
The content scales. The courses, the templates, the frameworks. All of that can reach 10,000 people as easily as 100. What doesn't scale is Jake. The live sessions, the critique queue, the bespoke builds. That's Jakes time, and there's only so much of it. The price increase reflects that.
Grandfathering
If you sign up for Premium or VIP before April 4th at 11:45 pm EST, you lock in the current price. $7 for Premium. $49 for VIP. That rate stays yours as long as you stay subscribed.
This applies to new signups and upgrades. If you're already in a paid tier, you're already locked in.
April 4th, new prices take effect for everyone who joins after.
The free tier is still free and always will be!!
And here's the thing: the paid tiers are what keep the free tier free. When Premium and VIP members invest in direct access, it means Jakes doesn't have to paywall the fundamentals. The Foundation can stay open. The courses can stay free. The community keeps growing without anyone getting locked out of the basics.
Everything in The Foundation stays open. The courses, the community, the conversation. The free tier remains a full learning environment with more content than most paid communities offer.
We'll also keep sending out community questionnaires like the one I sent last week. When Jake goes live to talk through the results, those recordings get posted for everyone. Expect these every month or two.

Premium is growing Rapidly
We're adding a few things that make this tier more useful over time:
- Recorded archive of every Premium Tea. Every session gets recorded and saved. Miss one, watch it later. The archive grows over time and you have access to all of it.
- Critique queue. Submit your build and get it reviewed live during a Premium Tea. You learn from watching others get feedback, not just from the topic of the day.
Plus everything already there: full Vault access, both courses (Free & Premium), Discord Premium channels, two Premium Teas per month (each for 30 mins)

VIP is the inner circle
- Three High Teas per month (one hour each) Every session gets recorded and saved Miss one, watch it later. The archive grows over time and you have access to all of it.
- Bespoke builds through the questionnaire. Discord Drawing Room for async coordination.
- Everything in Premium included. Small room, direct access, real projects.
