Founding Members — first paid cohort
Status: leads qualified, outreach drafted, send BLOCKED on Stripe test key (see § Blocker). Goal: OpenCode Mobile's first dollar. Current MRR: $0. No Stripe product exists yet. Date qualified: 2026-07-25
Blocker (one-line ask for Den)
Den — add a Bitwarden Secure Note named
STRIPE_TEST_SECRET_KEY(folderopencode-mobile) containing thesk_test_...key from https://dashboard.stripe.com/test/apikeys; the vault only hasOpenClawBot - STRIPE_SECRET_KEYwhich issk_live_and is off-limits.
Why it's founder-gated: creating the test key requires an interactive login to the Stripe Dashboard on the
VIBE TECHNOLOGIES account (vibeteaichnologies@gmail.com). Stripe's login is anti-automation and the
CDP-driven browser session could not complete it.
Once that vault entry exists, everything below is unblocked and scriptable — no further founder input needed.

The 8 leads
Qualified from real repository engagement (issues filed, code contributed, forks, stars) — not scraped.
None publish a public email, so the contact channel is a GitHub @mention on the specific thread
they already opened. That is warmer than cold email anyway: they get a notification tied to their own words.
Ranked by purchase intent.
| # | Handle | Name / Locale | Contact channel | Evidence of intent | Fit rationale | Tier to pitch |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | PylotLight |
"Light" — DevOps/Go dev | @PylotLight on issue #134 (open) |
Asked: "Any chance at adding support for public hosted instances behind oidc/openid auth?" | Asked for the hosted product by name. Wants a public hosted instance with SSO — that IS OpenCode Connect. DevOps background = pays for infra to not run infra. | $9.99 Team |
| 2 | cloph-dsp |
Pedro Castro — Lisbon, PT | @cloph-dsp on issue #53 |
4 issues (#53, #55, #56, #57), 1 PR (#54), fork, star | Heaviest external contributor. Reported the keyboard bug and wrote a fix. His PR was closed but the bug shipped fixed in #148 — owed a "you were right, it shipped" note. Deep daily user. | $4.99 Pro |
| 3 | zFitness |
Shenzhen, CN — works at @shopee | @zFitness on issue #150 |
2 issues (#147 keyboard, #150 refresh), fork 2026-07-24 | Active this week. Employed at a large tech co (Shopee) — corporate card, low price sensitivity. Blog: zfitness.me. |

"yyxxd" | @2740653660 on PR #68 |

| 6 | SDBdevelopment |
— | @SDBdevelopment via fork |
Forked 2026-07-18 | Handle implies a dev shop/agency → multi-seat potential. | $9.99 Team |

[HOOK]
I'm the maintainer of OpenCode Mobile. I'm opening a small Founding Member group — 8 people — before I turn on billing, and you're one of them.
Here's the deal, plainly:
- OpenCode Connect is the hosted version. No server to run, no Tailscale, no port forwarding — you open the app and it works. It's what people ask for most, and it's the thing that costs me money to run.
- Founding Members get 50% off for life on whatever tier they pick, and a direct line to me for feature requests. Your issues skip the queue. Permanently.
- Free tier stays free, forever. Self-hosting stays free, forever. This does not paywall anything that works today.
Planned pricing (Founding Member price in bold):
Free Pro Team Price $0 $4.99$2.49/mo$9.99$4.99/moConnect to your own server ✅ ✅ ✅ Hosted OpenCode Connect — ✅ 1 workspace ✅ 5 workspaces SSO / OIDC — — ✅ Priority support — ✅ ✅ I'm not asking for money in this message. I'm asking one question: would you pay for this, and at which tier? A one-word answer is a complete answer. If it's "no," tell me why — that's just as useful and I'll take it on the chin.

Per-lead [HOOK] lines
| Lead | [HOOK] |
|---|---|
PylotLight |
Hey — you asked in #134 about hosted instances behind OIDC. I'm building exactly that, and I want you in the first group. |
cloph-dsp |
Pedro — you reported the keyboard bug in #53 and sent a fix in #54. I closed your PR and then shipped the same fix myself in #148. That was a bad look on my part; you were right. Thank you for four issues that all made the app better. |
zFitness |
你好 — you filed #147 and #150 this week and forked the repo. You're one of the most active users I have right now. |
2740653660 |
You shipped Simplified Chinese support (#68) and project-directory grouping (#67) into this app. I owe you one — so this offer comes with a free year on me, no strings. |
e-lie |
Elie — you forked this yesterday, so you're evaluating it right now. Let me save you some time. |
SDBdevelopment |
You forked OpenCode Mobile last week — if you're deploying this for a team, I want to talk before I set pricing. |
Med-amine0 |
You forked this back in June and it's still on your account. Curious what you're using it for. |
mathysIN |
mathys — you forked this in May. You were the first person outside my own account to do that. |
Sending rules
- Do not send until
STRIPE_TEST_SECRET_KEYexists — a "would you pay?" message with no way to actually pay burns the warmest leads in the list. One shot each. - Send in two waves: leads 1–4 (high intent) first, measure reply rate, then 5–8.
- Stop/continue rule: if fewer than 2 of the first 4 reply within 72h, stop and rewrite the offer — the problem is the pitch, not the audience.
- Log every reply in this file under a
## Repliessection with date + tier answer.
