Exit proceeds distributed to contributors

Every step is tracked.
Every contribution counts.

From your first Discord message to your share of the exit, every action is scored, modeled, and rewarded.

01

Contribute to the community

Help others, share tools, review code, host sessions. Everything is tracked and scored automatically via Discord and GitHub.

02

Earn points and level up

Each contribution adds to your running total. From Newcomer (Level 1) all the way to Architect (Level 7, 5,000+ pts).

03

Propose a SaaS idea

Drop a project idea in Discord with one slash command. The AI immediately runs a full financial model on it - no pitch deck required.

04

Community votes on the best ideas

24-hour polls determine which projects get greenlit. ≥66% yes votes + 50% participation = it gets built.

05

Auto-assemble the team

The system recommends the best contributors for each role based on their contribution history and affinity scores.

06

Build, ship, and exit

Hit milestones, unlock points. When the project exits, every contributor gets their share - calculated from every point ever earned.

sam_dev
yes - you have to set the target to 'webworker' in tsconfig though or it breaks on deploy
