More than a purchase—it's a partnership in building something meaningful for photographers.
A Founder is someone who believes in VelvetVault's vision and wants to see it succeed. It's a photographer who recognizes the need for a better, more private way to deliver galleries—and is willing to make a small investment to help make it happen.
As a founder, you're not just buying software. You're joining a community of early believers who are helping shape the future of private photo and video delivery. Your support directly funds development, and your feedback directly influences what we build.
VelvetVault is an indie project built by a fellow photographer. There's no venture capital, no investors demanding returns, no pressure to compromise on privacy or values.
The founders program exists because building great software takes time and resources. By becoming a founder, you're essentially saying: "I believe in what you're building, and I want to help you see it through."
In return, we commit to building something worthy of that trust—a platform that truly serves photographers and respects their clients' privacy.
We want to be upfront about what "lifetime access" means. It doesn't mean forever in the cosmic sense—it means for the lifetime of the product.
As long as VelvetVault is up and running, your access continues. No monthly fees, no annual renewals, no surprise charges. You paid once, you're in.
We're committed to building VelvetVault for the long haul. But we believe in honesty: we're a small team, and no one can guarantee what happens in 20 or 30 years. What we can promise is that we'll always give plenty of notice if anything changes, and we'll always treat our founders fairly.
No monthly fees, no annual renewals. One payment covers you for the life of the product.
Every new feature we build—video delivery, AI tools, advanced analytics—you get it all, included.
Founders get to suggest features and vote on priorities. You help shape what we build next.
When you need help, founders get priority. We take care of our early believers.
When we move to subscription pricing post-launch, your founder rate stays the same. Always.
The founders program is perfect for photographers who:
"As someone building VelvetVault, I want to be clear: your trust means everything. I'm not here to take your money and disappear. I'm here to build something that serves photographers for years to come.
If you become a founder, you're putting faith in this vision. I don't take that lightly. Every feature we build, every decision we make, will be done with our founders in mind.
Thank you for believing in what we're building."
— Kyle, Creator of VelvetVault
