"What happens after I fill the application form?"

After filling the form, we'll review/approve your profile, and send you a payment link to join the membership. You can only join the membership once a month (usually mid-end of the month) for a few days, when I'm declaring it open via the emails.

"Will I really be denied entry if I don't own the 15€ course? Or is it a gimmick?"

The minimum conditions to be part of the community is to be subscribed to the daily emails, and to be enrolled in one course. The minimum requirement is our 15€ course called THE SELF-DRIVING CAR ENGINEER SYSTEM (or any other at a higher value). 

Why this course? First, because if everyone has been through the same course, everybody is on the same page, and thus the quality of Edgeneers inside the community will increase. Second, because it's our most affordable course, so it's a barrier we put, but still low enough.

So yes, we do reject applicants who don't have it.

We have other conditions (undisclosed) to protect members from the community and ensure they only meet high quality people. If your form is refused, you will be told why and be able to reapply the next month.

"Do I get the next fragment immediately after joining?"

Fragments are unlocked to the entire community at the same time. Our planned week is the second of every month, but you will be warned via email.

"Can I get a 7 day free trial and cancel my credit card after 30 seconds?"

No, and this calls back to the previous questions about having already been though my entry-level course, so you already know what type of paid content I'm doing. 

If you have never been through my emails, blogs, courses, etc... it's best you don't join and begin there.

"Can I get only the fragment and not the community?"

No. But you have the freedom to stay a citizen of the community without being involved. You simply won't benefit from all the best stuff we give our leaders and commanders.

"Can I easily cancel my membership if I no longer want to be part of it?"

Yes, simply email Jeremy or support and we'll cancel it for you.

When you cancel your subscription, you'll lose access to your existing progression, but keep access to the purchased fragments.

However, quitters get put at the bottom of the list if they reapply. So if we're allowing 20 spots per month, and the waiting list is full, we'll favor those who have never tried yet, and thus you might find yourself in a period of "purgatory" that can last a few months.

So put differently, I'd rather you NOT join in a rush if you already think about cancelling, because just like a boxing gym, you see results after a few months of work, not right out of your first session.

"Why don't you put all your courses behind a membership for X$/month, like XYZ is doing?"

Because it's economically stupid, totally useless (most of my clients already purchase frequently), and would sink the company. You don't want to be left alone learning all these cutting-edge skills on your own, do you?

"Do I also get all fragments from the previous months?"

No, this wouldn't be fair to those who joined before you — and if I did it to people who joined after you, it wouldn't be fair to you. So if you join in December, you don't get access to November's fragment (and the months before).

As always at Think Autonomous, early adopters are the most rewarded. And the next question will also prove it:

"Will the price of my subscription increase in the future?"

We will very likely increase the price this year, but not for existing members. There will also not be any discount on the membership. We already don't do that for courses, but for a subscription?! Hell no. And there won't be "100+ years access if you pay 1,000$ now". This membership is to play the long game together.

As a rule:

When you join, your price is locked in for 6 months minimum. After this, the chances are the price will stay the same for you, but will increase for new members.

Early adopters will always get the lowest price, and the later you join, the more it'll cost.
