NORAH Q1 2026 Cohort

10 Weeks to Market Clarity for Detroit Founders

Starts January 12, 2026 • 10 Weeks • Limited to 20 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

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

Weeks 9-10: Implementation & Refinement

Launch your positioning, track early results, and refine based on real market feedback.

NORAH Platform Interface

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.

NORAH won People’s Choice at Venture 313’s Tech the Halls pitch competition in December 2025, validated by the founders who would actually use it.

Important Details

When does the cohort start?
January 12, 2026. The cohort runs for 10 weeks through March 27, 2026.
How much time will this require?
Plan for 3-5 hours per week: 1-2 hours for live sessions, 2-3 hours for implementation work. Market Entry tier founders should plan for additional time during small-group live build sessions.
What if I can’t make all the live sessions?
All training sessions are recorded. Live build sessions (Market Entry only) are scheduled with founder input to maximize attendance.
Is this only for tech founders?
No. NORAH works for any founder with a developed product or service – tech, retail, services, creative businesses, etc.
What’s your refund policy?
Full refund if you decide within the first 7 days that the cohort isn’t right for you. After that, no refunds – but we’ll work with you to make sure you get value.
Do I need to be in Detroit physically?
No. You need to be serving Detroit markets or be part of Detroit’s founder ecosystem. Live sessions are hybrid (in-person + virtual) so you can participate from anywhere.

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+.
