JOIN NORAH’s January 2026 COHORT
NORAH Q1 2026 Cohort
10 Weeks to Market Clarity for Detroit Founders
Stop Guessing Where You Fit in the Market
You built something. You know it works. But you can’t get traction.
The problem isn’t your product. It’s your positioning.
NORAH helps Detroit founders identify winnable market segments – not just where you think you should compete, but where you can actually win.
This is the same strategic marketing framework that costs $50K+ when you bring in a consultant. We’re making it accessible to Detroit founders who are building real businesses but can’t yet afford enterprise pricing.
What You Get as Part of Cohort 1
Every founder receives:
- Market positioning strategy – Where you can win and why
- 90-day marketing plan – What to do, when to do it, how to measure it
- Marketing assets – Messaging frameworks, content templates, positioning statements
- Live training sessions – Weekly training with Q&A on positioning, messaging, and visibility
- Access to NORAH’s market intelligence – Real-time insights on Detroit’s founder landscape
Choose Your Level
For founders who can execute independently and just need the strategy and playbook.
- Prescriptive market positioning strategy
- 90-day marketing plan tailored to your business
- Market insights and competitive analysis

This Cohort Is For You If:
- You have a developed product or service (not just an idea)
- You’re pre-revenue or doing under $50K annually
- You’re based in Detroit or serving Detroit markets
- You’re tired of throwing marketing tactics at the wall, and you can’t sit through another webinar
- You need a clear strategy, not another guru telling you to “just post more”
What You’ll Walk Away With
- A clear positioning statement that differentiates you in your market
- Target customer profiles based on real market data, not assumptions
- Messaging framework that speaks to actual customer needs
- 90-day content and visibility plan
- Marketing assets ready to deploy (website copy, LinkedIn profile, pitch deck guidance)
- Confidence in where you’re going and how to get there
The Cohort Format
10 Weeks, Structured for Results
Weeks 1-2: Market Discovery & Positioning
Deep dive into your market, competitors, and where you actually fit. We identify your winnable segments.
Weeks 3-5: Messaging & Strategy Development
Build your positioning statement, target customer profiles, and core messaging framework.
Weeks 6-8: Marketing Plan & Asset Creation
Develop your 90-day marketing plan and create the assets you need to execute it.
Weeks 9-10: Implementation & Refinement
Launch your positioning, track early results, and refine based on real market feedback.
Why NORAH Works
Most go-to-market strategies fail because they’re built on what founders think should work, not what actually works in their specific market.
NORAH starts with real market data, identifies where you can compete, and builds a strategy around your actual constraints – not someone else’s playbook.
This isn’t theory. It’s how I helped a B2B company scale from 8 employees to 80, generating over $40M in pipeline. Now I’m bringing that framework to Detroit founders who can’t afford $50K consulting engagements.

Important Details
This Is a Research Cohort
We’re running 2 cohorts in 2026 to refine NORAH’s logic and reasoning. This isn’t just about delivering a service – it’s about building a tool that actually works for Detroit founders.
What that means for you: You get direct access to work with NORAH while it’s being refined. We’re pressure-testing features, validating strategies, and learning where the real resistance is – not guessing from a distance.
We want to see what works in real founder hands, with real Detroit constraints, solving real market problems.
Pilot Pricing: $149-$500
After we validate the model with these 2 cohorts, pricing will reflect the full value of strategic marketing consultation that typically costs $50K+.
