The final window at current annual prices closes tomorrow, Friday, at 5 PM ET.

After that, all three tiers go up to the new prices I announced last week.

I've gotten a lot of good questions this week, so here are the answers all in one place.

If you already know which tier you want, you can choose it here.

What do I pay when my year renews?

The same price you join at.

Whatever price you join at stays your price for as long as you remain a member. My prices only ever increase for new members, never for existing ones.

So joining before Friday doesn't just save you money this year. It locks in this week's price for every year you stay.

Am I too early for this?

No. Earlier is actually better.

The decisions that cost the most to undo come first: your core technology, your wireless approach, your power architecture, your microcontroller, your form factor.

Whether you're at the idea stage, or mid-prototype and waiting to join until it's done, those choices are getting locked in right now.

It's far cheaper to get clarity before you've built around a mistake than after.

And a full year of membership covers a lot of the journey, so joining now just means more of it happens with experienced eyes on your work.

What if I'm already past the prototype stage?

Then you're definitely not too late. A working prototype is where the next set of expensive problems begins.

The expensive stuff that comes after is certification, design for manufacturing, production testing, scaling to volume, then marketing and distribution.

That's where products that work perfectly on the bench fail in production, and the failures that show up last cost the most.

The engineers and product experts inside help members through all of it, from first idea to selling at scale.

How much time does this take each week?

None that's required. It isn't a course you have to keep up with, and there's nothing scheduled to fall behind on.

So don't let a busy month stop you. You're locking in help at today's price, and you can start using it whenever you're ready.

Which tier is right for me?

It comes down to how much private help you want.

One product, and help from the engineers and product experts in the community is enough: Standard.

One product at a time, and you want engineers privately in your corner throughout development: Pro.

Multiple products, or one complex product needing multiple full reviews: Premium.

What is a Manufacturing Readiness Review?

It's the final systematic check of your complete design, around 100 checkpoints, before you commit money to production.

Private support carries you through the whole design phase with unlimited informal feedback on your design, separate from this review.

Pro includes one full review per year, while Premium includes unlimited reviews.

So if you expect to need reviews on several designs, or if you want more than one review on a complex design, then Premium is the smarter buy.

Is my product kept confidential?

Yes. The community area is visible only to members and never to the general public.

Anything you share through private support on Pro or Premium is protected by an NDA, and your intellectual property stays 100% yours, always.

You can even participate anonymously if you prefer.

What if I'd rather pay monthly or quarterly?

That's completely fine. Standard is available monthly, and Pro and Premium are available quarterly, and those plans aren't going anywhere.

But the annual plans save you at least three months' worth every year, and after Friday that gap shrinks when the annual prices go up.

When will annual be available again?

I don't have a date for you. What I can tell you for certain is that when it comes back, it will be at the higher prices.

What if I join and decide it's not for me?

Every annual plan comes with a 31-day money-back guarantee.

If you decide it isn't right for you within that first month, just email us and you'll get a full refund.

So you can lock in the current price today and still have a full month to be sure.

If you have a question I didn't cover here, hit reply and I'll answer it personally before the deadline.

Otherwise, choose your annual plan here.
