## Tell me your story. I'll make the first cut.

Michael Ruescher, the founder of BitterClip, is personally offering up to 100
founder-onboarding sessions while capacity remains.

Join Michael for a 30-minute recorded conversation about what you are building.
Together, you will find the part worth sharing, shape the first founder video in
BitterClip, and leave with a cut you can keep directing.

Start Creator: https://app.bitterclip.com/sign_up?plan=clip

Card required. $0 today. Creator becomes $24/month after seven days unless
canceled before the trial ends.

## One call. One real result.

1. Tell the real story. Record a focused 30-minute conversation about the
   problem, the turning point, and why the company needs to exist.
2. Find the moment. BitterClip watches the whole conversation, and you choose
   the part that makes someone understand why they should care.
3. Direct the first cut. Shape the opening and ending, then keep revising the
   same cut instead of sorting through another pile of guesses.

You can also bring an existing podcast appearance, customer call, investor
conversation, demo, webinar, or launch recording. If none of those captures the
story, the onboarding call can become the source.

## What you leave with

- a recorded founder conversation with a clear editorial point of view;
- a first cut in BitterClip, linked back to the full source;
- a review link you can share and a cut you can keep directing; and
- a repeatable way to turn future conversations into publishable work.

## Practical questions

### Is the 30-minute session really included?

Yes. Michael is personally offering up to 100 sessions while capacity remains.
Start the Creator trial and he will contact you to schedule the call.

### Do I need to bring a recording?

No. The onboarding call can become the source recording. If you already have a
podcast appearance, interview, demo, webinar, or customer conversation, bring
that instead and work from the stronger source.

### What happens during the session?

You tell the real story behind what you are building. Michael helps find the
moment worth sharing, makes the first cut in BitterClip, and shows you how to
keep directing and revising it afterward.

### What does the Creator trial cost?

The seven-day trial requires a card and charges $0 today. It becomes $24/month
unless you cancel before the trial ends. It accepts one recording up to two
hours and includes $5 of agent work for analysis, the First Cut, and direction.
