FoundersKnock Studio
Your business has a real story. We'll help you tell it without the gloss.
For a few years now we've knocked on doors and recorded what building a business in India actually looks like. Now we'll run the same production on your story - shot and cut the way we shoot our own show, so the eighteen months without a salary and the client who almost walked become part of what you tell, not the part you hide.
Core Solutions
Six pieces. One team. No hand-offs.
The same crew, cameras, and editing process behind FoundersKnock itself, pointed at your business for one session. This is a paid production, not a free guest slot - there's no published price list yet, so every quote is scoped to your business and walked through with you before anything is booked.
Studio & Recording
In-person, multi-camera, broadcast-quality audio - our studio and crew, not a shaky video call. You show up and talk, we handle the setup.
Editing & Cutdowns
A full episode cut to broadcast standard, plus six to eight vertical clips - captioned and ready to post on your own Instagram or LinkedIn.
Hosting & Distribution
Published under the FoundersKnock name on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts - no separate hosting account for you to set up or manage.
Story Marketing
Placement in front of FoundersKnock's own audience and newsletter, plus a written feature on the site for people who'd rather read than press play.
One Crew, Not Five Vendors
The same team runs recording, editing, distribution, and promotion - no separate freelancers for you to brief, chase, and pay.
Every File, Yours to Keep
Raw and edited footage, handed over with no licensing games. Use it in a deck, on a careers page, wherever it's useful.
How It Works
How a knock becomes an episode
Step 1
The knock
A short call - not a script review. We ask what actually happened in the business, and whether you're willing to say it out loud on camera.
Step 2
The sit-down
Sixty to ninety minutes, multi-camera, no teleprompter, no pre-approved questions sent in advance.
Step 3
The cut
We edit for honesty, not for a highlight reel. If a line makes the business sound tidier than it was, we usually ask if it's true first.
Step 4
The release
Episode, audio, clips, and write-up go out across every platform on a publish date we agree on together, ahead of time.
Step 5
The knock-on
If it's a fit, an introduction to other founders who've sat across the same mic - people dealing with the same payment delays and hiring headaches.
Editorial Line, Not a Sales Line
We're picky about who we knock for
This is a real shoot, not a template - so we only take on stories we'd actually want to run.
We'll knock
- Indian MSME and small-business founders running a real, operating business - not just a deck.
- People willing to name real numbers, real mistakes, and real timelines on camera.
- Founders who want proof they can point to - for investors, customers, or hires - not just view counts.
We'll pass
- Pitches that are really a press release with a microphone attached.
- “We 10x'd revenue” stories with nothing underneath when we ask how.
- Anyone who wants final-cut approval over what stays in the episode.
- Anyone expecting this for free, the way a guest episode is - that's a different door, and it's the one marked “Apply as a guest.”
What It Actually Looks Like
This is the bar every episode clears.
No showreel, no highlight cut - just the most recent conversation we ran, produced exactly the way yours would be.
Ready to knock?
Tell us about the business - and the part you don't usually put in a pitch deck. If it's a fit, we'll set a date.
This is a paid production. We don't have a published price list yet - we'll walk you through the investment on the call, once we know the scope.
