Structured Equity & Shared Vision

In traditional systems, equity is usually reserved for founders and investors. But in the Ourown Ecosystem, equity is distributed based on contribution, consistency, and responsibility. This approach isn’t just more inclusive, it’s more effective in building real ownership and accountability across the ecosystem.

Our Structured Equity model aligns with the principle that every contributor who creates value deserves to co-own that value. Whether you’re an intern who built an impactful campaign, a coordinator who formed a successful Troup, or a strategic leader growing a Prime Body, there’s a defined path to stakeholding.

Let’s break it down:

Equity Eligibility by Structure

  • Each body type has its own equity structure, guided by its stage and purpose:
  • Troups (under PBs): Share profits through coordinated honorariums and internal credits. Not company equity, but tracked contribution for future eligibility.
  • Prime Bodies (PBs): May receive temporary or functional equity units. Eligible to apply for registration and upgrade to AOB.
  • AOBs: Receive official equity structure upon agreement. This includes:
    • 4% Reserved for BusyAge (BCS)
    • 16% Reserved for PC or AOC
    • 3% for Promoter Unit (e.g., Z N Entrepreneur)
    • 5% Coordinator/Founding Troup
    • 16% for 4 core members (4% each)
    • 28% Reserved for key professionals, investors, or the primary partner (mentor/investor/industry)
    • 28% Reserved for future troup-based partnerships or for initial primary contributor(s)

This modular structure is flexible, adapted based on who is forming the unit, the ecosystem’s role, and the founding body’s initiative.

Internal Credit System: Building Stake Before Shares

Before formal equity is assigned, contributors build their value via:

  • Internal Ratings (performance, delivery, reliability)
  • Time Logs (task-based or weekly involvement)
  • Role-based Credits (Coordinator, Domain Mentor, Content Lead, etc.)
  • Project Logs (number, scale, and type of completed projects)

These credits are calculated and documented for internal allocations and future equity proposal mapping.

Layered Vision: Stakeholders as Co-Creators

Structured equity isn’t just about shares, it’s about shared vision.

By aligning shares with service, responsibility, and ecosystem goals, we ensure:

  • Transparent decision-making
  • Motivated contributors who think like owners
  • Easier succession planning and delegation
  • Platform resilience even if a founder steps out

Investor Entry without Displacement

Unlike traditional systems where investor equity displaces the founders or team, in the Ourown model:

  • Investor equity is sourced from reserved blocks (28%), not by replacing creators
  • Founders and PB leaders maintain long-term engagement and control
  • Ecosystem promoters retain supervisory equity to ensure alignment

Earn Before You Own

No one gets free equity. It is always:

  • Performance-Based (clearly mapped)
  • Role-Defined (for value creation)
  • Periodically Reviewed (for alignment and sustainability)
  • Structure-Controlled (to ensure compliance and fairness)
