Seed Round
A light roast for the first hours of the day.
Founder Mode Coffee is a small coffee project for builders. We are working on four roasts for the long stretch between the idea and the thing that finally works.
These are the coffees we want to make. The names are set. The roast profiles and sourcing are not. We will put them up for sale when they taste right.
A light roast for the first hours of the day.
The everyday bag. Calm, sweet, dependable.
Dark coffee with enough character to drink black.
Built for a short pull and a quiet five minutes.
FOUNDER MODE
IS HOW YOU WORK.
IT IS NOT A JOB TITLE.
A burnt pot by the printer. A pod pulled between calls. A bag with a clever name and forgettable beans.
We want to make the bag that stays next to your grinder because the coffee is good. The founder references are for us. The quality has to stand on its own.
This project is early. We are still tasting coffees, talking with roasters, and getting the packaging right.
We are looking for a roasting partner who cares about repeatable batches and clear, sweet coffee.
Each name needs a coffee that fits. We are not putting an origin on the bag until we have bought the coffee.
Waitlist members will hear first. Their notes will shape what we roast next.
Checking in with FMC...
pongThe open source CLI came first. It prints the brand, checks in with the site, and gives builders a quiet way to say they were here early.
