Become a Founding Mind.
Be one of the first 100 people in the world to make their thinking available to everyone — on your own terms.
Apply to become a Founding MindWhy now
Human wisdom has never been more valuable — and most of it never travels. It is locked inside meetings, buried in books, shared only with the few people in the room at the right moment.
We think there is a better way. That is why we created Sonaverse.
What a sona is
A sona is a conversational version of you.
It captures not just what you know, but how you think — your experience, your judgement, your way of solving problems, your story. People can ask it questions, explore your thinking, and learn from you in conversations that would otherwise never happen.
A member of your community asks how you handled your first failed launch. A colleague three time zones away explores the framework it took you twenty years to learn. Someone you would never have found time to meet leaves their details, and a real connection begins.
None of it would have fit in a calendar that is already full.
It does not replace you. It extends you.
Trust & control
You shape it. You approve it. You own it.
Identity
Your sona is unmistakably, verifiably you. No one else can claim your name.
Fidelity
It is built with you and reviewed by you. It never goes live until you say so — and it speaks the way you would speak.
Privacy
You decide what it knows and who can reach it. You can change or withdraw it at any time.
Who we're looking for
We are looking for a particular kind of person.
You do not need to be famous. You do not need a large audience. You simply need something worth sharing — and the instinct to share it.
Founders and builders. Teachers and mentors. Coaches and advisors. Authors and researchers. Leaders, advocates and connectors. People who care deeply about their work and are excited by a new way to share what they know.
Why have a sona
What a sona does for you.
Stop being the bottleneck.
You get asked the same things over and over. Your sona handles them — so your time is freed for the conversations that genuinely need you.
Put it to work across your audience.
Share your sona down your channels — your community, your followers, your colleagues, your board. It extends your reach wherever you already have it, and keeps working when you can't.
See what your audience really wants.
A continuous read on the questions people bring: the recurring themes, the points of interest, the friction. Raw material for your next book, paper, talk — or business opportunity.
Grow your network, in both directions.
Your sona can exchange contact details on your behalf — handing out yours and capturing theirs — turning conversations into real connections.
Activate what you've already made.
Your talks, writing and hard-won lessons stop being an archive and become something people can explore in conversation.
Why be a Founding Mind
Why be one of the first 100.
- 01
A distinction you can't get later.
Only 100, ever. You'll be one of the first people in the world to do this — a permanent place in the story of a new category.
- 02
Sonaverse, free for life.
As a Founding Mind, Sonaverse is yours free — for life. The first 100 never pay a subscription.
- 03
A hand in shaping it.
Founding Minds have the founders' ear and help direct what Sonaverse becomes. You're a co-author, not user number forty thousand.
- 04
Set the standard.
The first sonas define what good looks like — the examples everyone who follows will measure themselves against.
- 05
Keep remarkable company.
The other ninety-nine are people worth knowing.
- 06
Everything, first.
Priority access to every new capability.
Who's behind this
You are handing over something precious. Here is who is holding it.
Sonaverse is built by a small team who care about getting this right. We read every application ourselves.

The most valuable thing you know shouldn't be limited by your time.
A world where knowledge isn't trapped inside organisations. Where expertise isn't limited to those with privileged access. Where people can keep teaching, mentoring and advising far beyond the limits of their schedules.
This is one of the most important opportunities modern technology has created. Not because it is about artificial intelligence. Because it is about people.
