Questions

Before you jump in.

Anything else on your mind? Email support@ohustle.org and a real person will reply.

What exactly happens in a session?
You join a queue, get matched with another founder, and run a timed round on live video. A pitch session has a pitch, Q&A, critique, and defense. A debate gives you a business brief, a side to argue, and structured speaking turns.
Do I need a real startup to join?
No. An idea, a side project, or even a curiosity about how businesses work is enough. The platform is a practice room, not a demo day.
How does ELO work?
Everyone starts at 1000. Winning a match against a stronger opponent earns more points than beating a weaker one. Your rank, from Rookie to Quadrillionaire, follows your rating.
Is Ideage free?
Yes. Core practice modes are free while the platform is in its founding stage. The first 50 members earn an OG tag and can claim AI+ Pro at no cost.
