The Founder Badge

Permanent. Scarce. Never issued again.

MenuVybe Founder Badge — gold shield reading Built it. Ranked it. Made it real.

Built it. Ranked it. Made it real.

Founder 2026

The Founder Badge belongs to the diners who actually showed up at the beginning — not everyone who signed up, only the people who logged dishes, finished surveys and built the data that made the first restaurant pitch possible.

The window closes the day MenuVybe launches publicly. After that it is never issued again — not for money, not for a favour, not for any reason. That scarcity is the whole value, and it is guarded absolutely.

What founders get

Active today

  • Permanent double XP

    Every log, survey, hack and photo counts twice — for as long as the app exists.

  • Founding commission bump

    +0.5% above your creator tier rate for life, on top of whatever rank you hold.

  • First seat at every table

    Invited to every MenuVybe Table and Festival before the Top 1,000 hear about it.

  • Direct line to the founding team

    Your feedback gets read personally. Not a ticket queue — a conversation.

As partnerships land

  • Partner venue perks

    Show the badge at a partner restaurant for an appetizer, a discount, early entry or a held table.

  • Concession tasting panels

    Stadiums, theme parks and airport halls test new items on verified critics before 50,000 people see them.

  • Birthday dish

    Partner kitchens comping a founder's dish on their birthday.

At scale

  • Permanent festival guest

    Invited to the annual festival regardless of where your rank sits that year.

  • Your name in the credits

    Listed in the app credits permanently. The origin story keeps your name in it.

  • Recognised at every milestone

    If MenuVybe ever reaches a milestone worth marking, founders are acknowledged as the people who made the first pitch possible.

Founder Badges cannot be awarded from inside the app — by anyone, including us. The roster is written directly to the database once, by hand. Dilute one badge and you dilute every badge, so the door stays locked.
