Why?

Calm and profit-first company where effort and value are rewarded.

• Calm.
  • We bias toward action.
  • We're motivated adults with batteries included.
  • Participation in the business via equity or effort will not be stressful.
  • We build the software our customers need and avoid overengineering.
  • We communicate and work through problems together, even when it's hard.
• Cash flow.
  • We'll keep expenses low and operate with a hefty profit.
  • Regular effort is paid via salary from the cash flow.
  • Profit is distributed based on equity.
• Contribution based.
  • Contributions could be money, assets, and work/effort.
    • Equity and effort are different things.
    • Equity is ownership and requires no effort.
    • Effort is regular work to grow the business.
  • Some people will have equity and no effort.
    • They won't be expected to actively work.
    • They'll share in profit and any sale of assets.
  • Some people will have both equity and effort.
    • They'll share in profit and any sale of assets.
    • They'll also receive a salary and be expected to create value.
  • Some people may have effort and no equity.
    • When this happens, they'll be paid well based on the value they provide.
