We are reaching out to MFS because you are not simply an accelerator. You are an ecosystem built by people who know what it takes to go from zero to scale — and this proposal is built for exactly that.
Most startups don't fail because of a lack of effort.
They fail because they make the same predictable mistakes.
So we created SummitGuide — a platform for aspiring founders, designed to systematically eliminate the three biggest causes of failure:
Our platform gives entrepreneurs a clear method to validate ideas, financial guidance through our AI Mentor, and a unique milestone-driven roadmap to build their business step by step — until they reach their summit.
By structuring the journey this way, SummitGuide can increase your chances of success by up to 2–5×.
These milestones and tasks are curated by experienced mentors from three continents, who know exactly what businesses like yours need to succeed. Combined into a trained AI available 24/7 — that is what truly makes the difference.
A single platform that transforms the entrepreneurial journey into a visual, structured plan — with milestones, tasks, and AI-powered mentorship available at every step.
A mountain-metaphor journey from idea to IPO. Every milestone maps to the founder's specific business type and stage.
An AI trained on insights from real mentors across 3 continents. Answers questions, benchmarks competitors, flags financial risks.
Pre-defined, business-specific tasks that remove the guesswork. Validated by experts. Built so founders always know what's next.
Real mentors contribute insights that are structured and made accessible on the platform. Mentor cards, badges, and direct contact.
Runway calculators, unit economics frameworks, and benchmark comparisons to help founders manage cash and avoid fatal mistakes.
Built from day one for multilingual deployment. Russia is the launch market. Brazil, USA, Portugal, and Spain are the next targets.
SummitGuide connects three types of stakeholders inside a single structured platform — creating a self-reinforcing loop between those who build, those who guide, and those who invest.
A partnership structure designed to be immediately valuable to MFS — financially, strategically, and in terms of visibility.

MFS Mentor badge & verified tag
Every MFS-affiliated mentor receives a visible MFS seal on their profile card, plus a searchable "Mentor MFS" tag — a credibility signal visible to all founders browsing the marketplace.
Exclusive affiliate coupon codes
MFS and each affiliated mentor receive unique coupon codes to share with their communities. Every conversion earns 20% of the first 12 months of revenue from that user — tracked in a real-time dashboard.
These are preliminary ideas — we genuinely want to hear yours. The goal is a partnership that creates real value on both sides.

SummitGuide listed as partner on the MFS website
Feature SummitGuide in the Partners section of mfs.ru — alongside your existing ecosystem partners. In return, MFS is featured on summitguide.com as an official sponsor from day one of launch.
Formal brand endorsement (optional but valued)
Public mention of SummitGuide in MFS newsletters, social media, or community communications — at least 4 times per year. A single communication from your audience carries more weight than any paid campaign.
Equity & investment opportunity (optional)
MFS may acquire up to 10% equity in SummitGuide at pre-seed valuation, exercisable within 18 months of the partnership agreement. This aligns long-term incentives — MFS's own network becomes a direct driver of platform value and their return.
Distribution of 2 research forms to the MFS network
Permission to publish two short forms across MFS participants: one directed at Founders — mapping their most pressing pain points across their businesses — and one for Mentors — collecting key insights across different business domains. This data directly shapes SummitGuide's AI layer and content strategy, and positions MFS as an active co-creator of the platform.
MVP is near completion and going live. Built entirely by two senior co-founding partners — both capable of developing the full technology stack, strategy, and marketing independently. This means an exceptionally lean operation with minimal burn and maximum execution velocity.
Four reasons MFS is not just a distribution channel — but the ideal first institutional partner for SummitGuide.
A multi-stream SaaS model combining individual subscriptions, institutional licenses, and strategic sponsorships — with the partner network as the primary user acquisition engine.
Freemium model. Free tier drives acquisition; premium unlocks full roadmap, AI Guru unlimited access, financial tools, and mentor direct contact.
Annual seat-based licenses for accelerators, universities, and innovation centers. Bulk pricing with co-branding. Each partner brings 50–500 users to the platform.
Banks focused on new ventures, internet providers, and fintech companies sponsor content sections, workshops, and featured placements within the platform.
A founding team with real experience — across three continents, three countries, and multiple industries.

We believe SummitGuide and MFS are stronger together. One conversation is all it takes to start a partnership that could help thousands of founders build better businesses.
