Let's Talk About
Money

The awkward part. But let's be direct about how this works and why.

The Honest Part

Why There's a Fee

I'll be straight with you: I need this to be sustainable. Not to get rich - to keep running cohorts, maintain the tools, show up every week, and support you when you're stuck at 11pm debugging. But more importantly, this filters for commitment. This amount is enough that you'll think twice before signing up. You won't ghost after Week 3. You'll do the work. That's what makes the cohort strong. This isn't about the money. It's about skin in the game.

₹48,000 or $800

Incl. GST

India or International. For everything. Forever.

Eight weekends of live sessions + Claude Max + all tools + lifetime community access

Two Ways to Commit

Choose What Feels Right

Option 1 is fully refundable until the end of Week 2. Take the first two weeks to see if it's right for you, and if it isn't, just ask and I'll send it back.

Pay Curious PM

Pay ₹48K incl. GST (or $800 USD) to me. This keeps the lights on and lets me run more cohorts. It's 100% refundable until the end of Week 2 if it doesn't add value.

Option 1

This is how I make this sustainable. This allows the program to stay personal and high-quality.

Donate to Charity

Donate ₹48K (or $800 USD) to any charity you care about. Send me the receipt. Same cohort, same sessions, same support.

Not included The Claude Max seat. It is a licence I have to buy, so it only comes with Option 1.

Option 2

This shows me it's not about the money - it's about your commitment.

Either way, you're in. Same cohort, same sessions, same community. The only difference is the Claude Max seat.

What's Included

What You Actually Get

8 live sessions (every week, show up or miss out)

OpenAI credits (for building projects)

Claude Code access (the tool I use daily)

Twilio credits (for your voice assistant project)

ElevenLabs credits (for voice AI experiments)

1:1 time when you're stuck (WhatsApp me, book a call)

Personal portfolio page at yourname.curious.pm

The product you took over: its repository, its data, and the right to take it to market

Lifetime community access (meetups in major cities, network that compounds)

A live product running under your name, and a benchmark that says how far it can be trusted

The real value here isn't the tools - it's knowing you can build this stuff yourself. That's what you're paying for.

The Questions You're Probably Asking

Honest Answers, No Fine Print

What if I choose the charity option? Will I get less attention?

No. Same cohort, same sessions, same support, and the same attention from me. The one thing the charity route does not include is the Claude Max seat, because that is a licence I have to buy. Everything else, you're all equals here.

How does the refund actually work?

Any time until the end of Week 2, just message me. Say "Hey, this isn't working for me. Can I get a refund?" I'll ask for your payment details and send it back within 48 hours. No interrogation. No trying to convince you to stay. Clean and simple.

What if I refund? Can I join a future cohort?

Yes. If the timing was wrong or you weren't ready, you can join later. The only reason you wouldn't be welcome back is if you were disrespectful to the community.

Why not make it free?

Because free doesn't filter. I've seen free communities fall apart because people don't show up. When you make this commitment, you show up. You do the work. That's what makes the cohort good for everyone.

Is there a "poor student" discount?

Not officially. But if you're genuinely committed and this is financially hard, the charity option exists for this reason. Donate what you can to a cause you believe in, show me you're serious, and you're in.

Do I have to pay for AI tools and API credits on top of the fee?

No. Tools and credits are included - the fee is the whole cost. You will not get three weeks in and discover you need to expense a subscription to keep going.

Can my company pay instead of me?

Often, yes - a good number of PMs get this through an L&D or professional development budget. There's a whole page for it at /convince-your-manager with the business case, the ROI math, and an email template you can send as-is. If your manager wants to talk to me directly before signing off, I'm happy to take that call.
