YOUR MIRROR

145 questions, 20 minutes, Zero bullshit.

The Founder Fitness Index measures the gap between how you think you operate and how you actually operate. It answers one question: How close are you to operating sustainably in Founder Mode?

Deterministic

Same inputs = Same outputs, Always. Pure logic, zero noise.

Non-comparative

You're diagnosed against the demands of Founder Mode, not your peers.

Actionable

You receive a growth trajectory, not just a personality label.

BUILT BY A FOUNDER, FOR FOUNDERS

Amin🚀 developed the FFI over a decade of working with founders and investors who operate under extreme pressure. This isn't academic theory, it's battle-tested infrastructure from someone who's diagnosed hundreds of operating systems, and rebuilt his own.
