Phase-1 GTM · 5 spots open
Help us shape operator-run ASO.
Five spots open for in-house ASO managers running active PPO and CPP experiments. Free annual Pro access for 12 months. Direct line to the founder and product team. In exchange, we ask you to log 4–6 real experiments in the first 60 days, hop on a monthly 30-minute feedback call, and become the first case study if a result is worth writing up.
The frame, in one paragraph
ASO is a loop — propose, generate, launch, apply the winner, learn. Most teams run it by hand and lose what they learned between tests. We’re building the system that runs the loop for you and keeps every receipt. We have the architecture (the governed loop across PPO/CPP, bounded AI with a full evidence trail, claim-safety validator on every generative output, revenue-denominated confidence), and we ship runtime weekly. What we don’t have yet is the case study. The design-partner cohort is the bridge.
The cohort, in full
Fit, get, ask
Three things must be true for fit. If they are, here’s exactly what you get and exactly what we ask in return — full symmetry, nothing hidden.
Fit
You run PPO and/or CPP regularly — not one-off
An active store-experimentation cadence is the precondition. We’re not the right tool if you’re still at the keyword-research stage; we sit downstream of that work.
You’ve felt the inconclusive-test problem or the “what to test next” paralysis
If your team has run four tests that returned inconclusive or showed minimal impact, and you can’t answer “what did we learn?” from the result — you’re exactly who ASOLOOP is built for.
You’re at a mobile-first company with budget for ASO tooling
Series B+ or equivalent revenue stage; mobile gaming, healthtech, fintech, or consumer apps. Indie scale is welcome via the open trial; the design-partner cohort is sized for in-house ASO managers and small ASO teams (1–5 people).
Get
Free annual Pro access (12 months)
Pro on your design-partner apps — stakeholder-reporting exports and MCP agent access included, no charge for the 12-month term. Continuation pricing locks at the annual-prepay rate when the term ends.
Direct line to the founder and product team
Weekly async Slack DM access to the founder. Monthly 30-min product-feedback call. Roadmap items you raise are tagged in the engineering queue with your name; you see when they ship.
First case-study credit
If your program produces a result worth writing up, you become the first case study. Anonymizable on request if competitive concerns rule out attribution; otherwise we co-author and you sign off on every claim.
Right of first look on V1.1 features
The Industry Pattern Library and the vertical landing pages it unlocks — you see them in flight, not at GA.
Ask
4–6 active experiments logged within the first 60 days
Real PPO and/or CPP experiments on real apps in your portfolio. Not synthetic; not retroactive. The compounding-evidence claim only works if the loop is running.
Monthly 30-minute feedback call
Open-ended call with the founder. What broke, what worked, what was missing, what felt like noise. Recorded only with your consent; transcripts are private to the ASOLOOP team.
Named case-study consent (anonymizable)
If your program produces a writeable result, you sign off on the case study and we publish with your attribution. Anonymizable if your legal or competitive constraints require.
Honest reporting on what doesn’t work
If ASOLOOP doesn’t map to your workflow, say so. The point of the cohort is to shape the product; silence is the failure mode.
Anti-fit
Who this isn’t for
We’d rather lose the conversation early than waste your time. If any of the rows below fits, the open trial or the standard sales path is the right route — not this cohort.
Teams still at keyword research
ASOLOOP sits downstream of keyword tooling. AppTweak, Sensor Tower, MobileAction are the right starting point if you haven’t built a keyword foundation yet.
Agencies running ASO as a service
Different buying motion, different workflow. The cohort is for in-house ASO owners who manage their own apps; service businesses fit a different conversation.
Enterprise with 6-month procurement cycles
Too slow for the design-partner phase. Enterprise is welcome via the standard sales path — the cohort needs practitioners who can start within 14 days.
Two paths
Trial vs. design-partner cohort
Most ASO managers should start with the open 7-day trial. The design-partner cohort is a deeper-engagement option for practitioners willing to commit to a 12-month term in exchange for free Pro access, direct PM influence, and case-study collaboration.
Open 7-day trial
Full Starter feature access. Credit card required to start. Not billed during the 7 days. Cancel any time. The right path for almost everyone, including indie operators running a single app.
Start 7-day free trialDesign-partner cohort
5 spots; 12-month commitment; free annual Pro access; monthly feedback call; named case-study consent. For in-house ASO managers running active PPO/CPP programs at mobile-first companies.

How to apply
Subject line: [design-partner application]. In the body, share:
- your role and company
- app portfolio scale (apps managed, store splits)
- vertical (mobile gaming, healthtech, fintech, consumer)
- current ASO tooling and what isn’t working
- one specific thing you’d like to shape in the product
We read every reply and respond within 48 hours. If the cohort is closed when you apply, we’ll keep your application on file for the next round and let you know.
