The 80/20 Co-Ownership Model

How It Works

No upfront cash. No coding required. Just trusted people working together using the 80/20 rule.

The Core Agreement

1. Zero Upfront Cost

These aren't expensive franchises. You do not pay a penny. I have already invested the late nights, code, domain registrations, and cloud costs.

2. Two Ways to Start

Pick one of my 11 live engines (football, pubs, vets, British craft, haulage, 3D town hubs), or bring an idea from a trade you know where people get ripped off.

3. Rising Equity

Your equity stake rises automatically the longer you stick with it (from 5% up to 40–50%), with revenue share paid out right from Day 1.

The 3-Stage Rising Equity Structure

Protects everyone and rewards long-term commitment.

Friendship & Family First Rule

If you try this for a few weeks and decide it isn't for you, there are zero hard feelings. You keep whatever revenue share you earned while active, and we stay on great terms.

All long-term equity allocations are formalised in a clear written agreement per project once you pass the trial phase.
