What does Alpha access mean?

What happens after I join?

Ben will contact you to set up your account and import your games. Setup is personal rather than instant, so please allow a few days. If you join as a Founder, Ben will also share the arrangements for the group sessions.

Does lifetime access include lifetime coaching?

Lifetime access covers Sia for as long as it exists. The group sessions and coaching commitment runs throughout 2027.
