Founding Director Program Details

Last updated June 2026  ·  3 min read

The founding director program is Taikai App's thank-you to the directors who run tournaments on the platform while it's still in beta: the first 50 directors to purchase credits during beta get 20% off standard pricing, permanently.

How to qualify

There is no application, no form, and no code to enter. Qualification is automatic:

• 1
  Sign up during beta Create your director account while the platform carries the BETA badge.
• 2
  Purchase any credit pack Your first completed purchase is what counts — the pack size doesn't matter.
• 3
  Be among the first 50 If your purchase is one of the first 50, you're a founding director. That's the whole process.

What you get

• 20% off standard pricing, forever — the headline benefit, applied once beta ends (see below).
• A direct line to the founder — feature requests and bug reports from founding directors go straight to the person building the product.
• White-glove setup support — hands-on help configuring your first tournament.
• Priority on the feature queue — what founding directors need gets built first.

After beta ends

During beta itself, everyone pays the same discounted beta rates — founding directors included. The 20% benefit activates when beta ends and standard pricing takes over: new directors pay full price, founding directors pay 20% less.

Common questions

• Does a bigger first purchase improve my odds? No — any completed purchase counts equally. Order of purchase is all that matters.
• Do I pay less during beta as a founding director? No. Beta rates already apply to everyone; the founding benefit is about what happens after.
• Is the discount transferable? It's attached to your director account, and applies to all tournaments you run from it.
• How do I know if spots remain? Check the Pricing page, or just ask — during beta the founder answers directly.
