Building with Chief since February 2026
The program
A founding community for small businesses building with AI. You get a dedicated team, hands-on support, and a seat at the table shaping what Chief becomes.
White-glove onboarding and a direct line to the Chief customer success team. You're never left figuring things out alone.
A private network of 100 pioneering entrepreneurs scaling their businesses with AI teams. Share wins, swap playbooks, and grow together.
Direct access to the product team. Your feedback drives what we build next. Incubator members get first say on every new feature.
Benefits
Everything a regular Chief customer gets, plus exclusive access and perks reserved for the first 100.
We build your AI team with you, side by side. Not a tutorial — a hands-on setup tailored to your business.
Skip the queue. Incubator members get direct access to the team behind Chief for fast, personal help.
A dedicated space to connect with other founding members, share strategies, and learn from each other.
Be the first to try new capabilities before they go live. Your real-world feedback shapes what ships.
Lock in special pricing as a founding member. The earlier you join, the more you save — permanently.
Tell us what you need and watch it get built. Incubator members have a direct line to our product roadmap.
The journey
We learn your business inside and out, set up your AI team, and get your first workers producing real work within days.
Your team hits its stride. Routines are running, documents are flowing, and you're spending less time on busywork every week.
Scale what's working, add new workers, and evolve your operations. The community and our team are with you every step.
You're building something real and doing it all yourself. Chief gives you the team you need without the overhead of hiring.
You've got a few people but need to do more. Fill the gaps in marketing, ops, and support without another round of hiring.
You see where business is headed and want to lead, not follow. Be one of the first agencies to scale with an AI team.
Social proof
Our first cohort of 5 companies across 5 industries is already using Chief to run their operations. Real businesses, real results, real feedback shaping the product.

“Chief replaced three tools and a part-time VA for us. The incubator community is a bonus I didn't expect to love this much.”— Founding member, e-commerce
“Having direct access to the product team means the features we actually need get built. That's never happened with any other tool.”— Founding member, consulting
The Chief Incubator is a founding-cohort program for the first 100 companies using Chief. You get dedicated support, a private network of fellow founders, and direct access to shape the product.
Incubator members get concierge onboarding, priority support, early access to new features, founding member pricing, and a direct line to our product team. Regular customers get a great product — incubator members help build it.
Founding members are the first 100 companies in the Chief Incubator. You'll be recognized as part of the group that helped shape Chief from the ground up, and you'll keep your founding member pricing for as long as you're a customer.
Yes, incubator members are paying customers of Chief. The difference is you get locked-in founding member pricing that's better than what we'll offer later, plus all the additional benefits of the program.
As involved as you want. Some members are active in the community daily, others check in weekly. The only real ask is that you use Chief and share honest feedback so we can make the product better for everyone.
