Questions before you launch.
Got questions? We've got answers.
What is Next Level Builders?
Next Level Builders is an educational platform and builder resource hub for solopreneurs and micro-SaaS founders. We provide expert-curated playbooks, recorded sessions, proven templates, and launch tooling to help you build and scale profitable products faster, with an included community collaboration channel. Our founders have built 14+ products generating $100K+ ARR.
What's the refund policy?
Every payment, the first one and each renewal, is covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee, no reason needed. Email hello@nextlevelbuilder.io or reply to your Polar receipt within 30 days of the charge and we refund 100% of it through Polar to your original payment method. The full details are in our Refund Policy.
Who processes my payment, and how does billing work?
Payments are processed by Polar (polar.sh), our merchant of record, which also handles any sales tax or VAT. Memberships are billed in advance, quarterly or annually, and renew automatically until you cancel. You can cancel at any time from the customer portal linked in your Polar receipt, and you keep access until the end of the period you paid for.
How much time do I need to commit?
You only need 3-6 hours per week (Discord + self-practice). This is completely manageable even if you work full-time. You don't need to quit your job, have a team, or a large budget. All you need is your current skills (being able to build a product is OK) and commitment to ship, not perfection.
Is this an online course?
No! This is not a traditional theoretical course for getting a certificate. This is a practical educational and builder resource platform helping Builders achieve: Product launch (live, public), Users & customers willing to pay (real validation), Pre-order revenue (early proof of market fit), and actionable lessons to ship products effectively.
What will I learn in this program?
You'll understand how to build a personal brand that converts, build an automated sales system 24/7, launch products in reality with real customers, and gain skills to ship fast & scalable like battle-tested founders. This is hands-on, practical knowledge from founders who have built 14+ profitable products generating $100K+ ARR.
Do I need to be technical?
You need current skills to build a product (code, no-code, AI tools - whatever works). You DON'T need to quit your job, have a team, or a large budget. Solo founders working full-time are welcome. Cheap tools are enough to get started.
What technical level is required?
All levels welcome! We have complete beginners learning to code, experienced developers, and non-technical founders using no-code tools. Our content caters to different skill levels, and the community is very supportive of newcomers.
What's included in each plan?
Premium includes the 52-week video library with a new video every week, the private Discord, the launch support channel and feedback from the founders. VIP includes everything in Premium, plus a priority VIP question channel, early access to tools and content, a 1:1 launch review with a founder, the VIP template & AI-prompt vault, and every course for free.
How does Discord work?
Discord is a free chat platform (like Slack). Once you join NLB, you'll get an invite link to our private server. We have channels for different topics, weekly content drops, and a supportive community. It's mobile-friendly and very easy to use.
What makes NLB different from other communities?
Most communities are run by people who haven't built successful products. Our founders have 14+ profitable products and $100K+ ARR. We share real strategies that work, not theory. Plus our community is highly engaged with 500+ active members actually building and launching products.
Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?
Yes. You can upgrade from Premium to VIP at any time: you pay the difference and VIP benefits start immediately. Downgrading is easy too, just let us know before your next billing cycle.
Is there a free trial?
We don't offer free trials, but we have a 30-day money-back guarantee which is even better. This gives you a full month to experience the community, browse the library, and see if it's right for you - completely risk-free.
