Profitable Founder Club opened Sept. 3, 2026, with an introductory price of $97 a year for the first 50 founders. Florian Darroman introduced the SaaS-founder mastermind in a post on X.
The website says members keep their joining price for as long as they stay, with prices rising every 50 to 100 members. For comparison, MicroConf Connect, a private community for bootstrapped SaaS founders, lists membership at $49 a month or $499 a year. MicroConf’s separate mastermind program charges application fees ranging from $250 to $2,500 based on annual recurring revenue.
Darroman said he started the earlier mastermind three months before the club announcement. Its seven SaaS founders shared a goal of reaching $100,000 in MRR before 2027.
After 90 days, Darroman reported that Andrej Simunaj of CRHQ.ai had increased MRR from $26,000 to $48,000. Nic Polotnianko of Sequenzy went from $2,000 to close to $10,000, while Arnaud Belinga moved from a plateau to growth with BreakCold, he said.
Darroman also said Sunder found a new ideal customer profile and was signing clients worth $15,000 a year. The club website does not identify Sunder’s company. Darroman said his current product, Distribb, increased MRR from $12,000 to $24,000.
The club places seven to 10 founders at similar stages into batches matched by goal, time zone and availability. Competitors are excluded from the same batch. Each group meets for one hour on Wednesdays every week for 12 weeks, and members can move into a new batch at their new stage after 90 days.
Darroman said MRR is verified through Stripe. Members receive a founder page showing their products, links and MRR chart, along with access to a leaderboard, a monthly live Q&A with Darroman and guests, and a private Discord room for each batch.
The website says there is no minimum MRR, but members must be actively building a bootstrapped SaaS product. New members can request a refund within 14 days; the annual fee is not refunded after that period.
The Profitable Founder name predates the club. An Apple Podcasts archive identifies Darroman as the creator of a twice-weekly founder-interview show with 36 episodes, beginning Jan. 7, 2026.
