The fine print, but readable.
The 30-Day Founder Content Challenge is a skill-based content creation challenge operated by Founder Social Club (Founder Social, LLC) in partnership with Descript. Participants create and publish content daily for 30 days and are scored on consistency, quality, engagement, and editorial assessment. This is not a lottery or game of chance. Winners are determined by merit.
Anyone 18 or older who creates an account and completes onboarding. No purchase necessary. Employees of FSC and their immediate family are not eligible for prizes but may participate.
Create an account, complete onboarding, and submit at least one qualifying post during the challenge (May 21 – June 19, 2026). Qualifying content: public post on a supported platform (LinkedIn, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube), tagged #FounderContentChallenge, posted during the challenge window.
Scores combine algorithmic metrics and editorial judgment.
Algorithmic: submissions (+10 each), check-ins (+3), community votes (+2 each), streak bonus (+5 × streak), comments on others (+2), referrals (+25), inbound signals (capped at 25/post).
Editorial ("Admin Bonus"): discretionary adjustment by the FSC team — positive for standout work, milestones, or quality; negative for rule violations. Every adjustment includes a public reason visible on the leaderboard. The formula and point values are published in the app and may be adjusted to maintain fairness. Changes will be communicated.
Grand prize goes to the participant with the highest total score after 30 days. Ties are broken by the FSC team based on content quality, consistency, and community impact. Weekly spotlights are selected by the FSC team. FSC may disqualify participants who violate rules, manipulate metrics, or act in bad faith.
Grand prize: $5,000 USD (one winner). Winners may need to provide tax info (W-9 for US residents). Additional prizes (weekly spotlights, Descript subscriptions, features) awarded at FSC's discretion. Prize values may change. No substitution or transfer except at FSC's discretion.
You own everything you create. By participating, you grant FSC and Descript a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to repost, feature, quote, and promote your challenge content with attribution. You can revoke this for specific content by emailing colton@foundersocialclub.com. You confirm your content is original and doesn't infringe others' rights.
Descript is suggested but not required. Using Descript does not affect scoring. Free accounts are sufficient.
Violations result in score penalties or disqualification via the Admin Bonus system, always with a public reason.
FSC collects your name, email, company, social links, and challenge activity. This data is used to operate the challenge, calculate scores, and communicate with you. FSC will not sell your data. By participating, you consent to receiving challenge-related communications. You may request deletion of your data after the challenge by emailing colton@foundersocialclub.com.
FSC may update these rules at any time. Material changes will be communicated to participants via the app or email. Continued participation after changes constitutes acceptance.
FSC is not responsible for technical failures, data loss, or scoring errors, though we will make good-faith efforts to correct any issues. Participation is at your own risk. By joining, you release FSC, Descript, and their employees from any claims arising from participation.
These rules are governed by the laws of the State of California. Any disputes will be resolved through binding arbitration in San Francisco, CA.
