Become a founding member.
Pay once, premium for life.

The first 100 readers who join now get aban news premium for life — for a fraction of the later price. No subscription, no stress, no "auto-renews after 12 months".

Heads up: the newsletter is in German. If you don't read German, founding membership is mostly a way to support what we're building in DACH. Total fine if that's not for you.

🪑 X / 100 seats left · After 100 the offer closes. Premium then runs at €9/month.

Why so cheap?

Because you're sharing the risk with me. aban news just started. You're trusting the first 100 readers who say: "I believe in what you're building."

In return: lifetime access, no subscription stress, direct communication. If you're still reading premium two years from now, you'll have effectively paid €5–€10/month — everyone after you pays more.

Later, premium will cost €9/month or €99/year. For you, never again.

Common questions

What if aban news folds?

You get your money back (1-year money-back guarantee, no questions asked). I have no interest in unhappy founders.

What if I realise after two months it's not for me?

Money back, no drama. 30-day full refund, no questions asked. After that, you still have 11 months of "if aban news folds" guarantee.

What about VAT?

Swiss sole proprietorship, VAT-exempt below CHF 100,000 annual revenue. You pay exactly €149 — no hidden fees.

Can I switch to the regular premium plan later?

You're already in as a founding member. Nothing to switch — you have lifetime premium.

Will this offer come back?

No. After 100 seats, premium is monthly-only. Nobody else gets founding status.

How does access work after payment?

After clicking "Become a founding member" you go through Stripe checkout. Within 5 min you get a welcome mail with Slack invite + premium login. First Sunday after that: your first weekend deep-dive.

Can I pay by invoice (company)?

Sure — write to hallo@abannews.com with "Founding by invoice" + company name + VAT ID. Invoice within 24h.

I don't read German. Should I still buy?

Honestly? Only if you want to support what we're building, or you're keeping it for someone in DACH. The newsletter itself is in German. I won't talk you into it.

Ready?

You share the risk, you get lifetime access. That's the deal.
