Sorry to hear about that. The Startups.com Lifetime Deal has the features of the basic plan ($29/month) included. The plan includes access to all the content in the Education menu (Courses, Articles, Founder Interviews, Playbooks, Curated Perks and even tools such as Fundable, Bizplan, etc.). However, workshops, 1 on 1's, and events are interactive sessions that require an upgrade to participate due to their super personalized nature. Another thing that makes this a great lifetime deal (LTD) is that, if you wish to upgrade to a higher monthly tier, the AppSumo deal will also provide you with a lifetime $29 monthly discount! That said, there are definitely plenty of features in this lifetime deal that would make it worth the one time purchase. There are lots of free access to perks, business SaaS tools, and even bootcamps! If we can help in any way, just kindly let us know via support@startups.com and we'll be glad to help!

Amazing Startup Education – Totally Worth It!

I’m currently doing the Idea Validation Bootcamp with Elliot Schneier and it’s an incredible learning experience! The quality of education is top-notch, and the content is so well delivered that you actually want to keep coming back and pushing forward.

✅ High-Quality Learning Materials
✅ Super Helpful Support – Christine from customer support was great!
✅ Well-Designed Playbooks
✅ Unbelievable Value

With AppSumo, you get the Basic Startups.com Plan $29/month plan for life. If you want live workshops and more, you need the $99/month plan, but with an AppSumo code, you get a $29 discount.

If you are startup curious and want to validate an idea, this is one of the best investments you can make! Highly recommended. 🚀

You must upgrade to access this section.

Litterary the one thing I was looking for is funding and I got this:

Due Today

$170.00

Renews at $170.00 every month

Ill look around some more to see if its worth it, but it seems like all the "benefits" is just more ways for me to bleed financially.

Hey there, it sounds like you might be referring to our $199/month Adviser tier plan (which, by the way, is discounted by $29 each month if you have the AppSumo deal). That plan includes workshops, 1-on-1s, and events that are interactive sessions and, due to their personalized nature, require you to upgrade in order to participate.
However, the $59 one-time lifetime deal gives you access to the features of the basic plan ($29/month). The plan includes access to all the content in the Education menu (Courses, Articles, Founder Interviews, Playbooks, Curated Perks, and even tools like Fundable, Bizplan, etc.).
Plus, if you want to upgrade to a higher tier, as mentioned earlier, you get an exclusive lifetime discount of $29 each month!
All of that means there are definitely enough features in this lifetime deal to make it worth the one-time purchase. There's plenty of free access to perks, business SaaS tools, and even bootcamps!
If we can help with anything at all, please just let us know via support@startups.com and we'll be happy to help.

Very limited access to site

Startups.com, a famous name in startup world.
However!
Most features on the site are still blocked after buying this deal, so it is not really worth buying.
The perks offered are available for free for anyone who knows how to google 'startup perks'
and the one thing that people could really use (the meetings and events) are not included.

hopefully the team will make a new attempt on a good LTD.

Hi Brian! With the Startups.com Lifetime Deal, the features of the basic plan ($29/month) is already included with it. The plan includes access to all the content in the Education menu (Courses, Articles, Founder Interviews, Playbooks, Curated Perks and even tools such as Fundable, Bizplan, etc.)
However, workshops, 1 on 1's, and events are interactive sessions that require an upgrade to participate due to their super personalized nature. Another thing that makes this a great life time deal (LTD) is that, If you wish to upgrade to a higher monthly tier, the app sumo deal will also provide you with a lifetime $29 monthly discount!
That said, there's definitely plenty of features in this lifetime deal that would make it worth the one time purchase. There are lots of free access to perks, business saas tools, and even bootcamps!
If we can help in anyway, just kindly let us know via support@startups.com and we'll be glad to help!
