the model

our model is designed to ensure true alignment between villagers and the founders we partner with, as well as make our services accessible to as many people as possible

we cover the cost to build, ship, and host your product for as long as you need

once you start earning, we take a share of revenue until the original estimate is repaid

the total revenue share to be repaid, as well as the terms for revenue sharing are fixed at the start of the project – if the build ends up costing more or repayment takes longer, that's on us

we know even the best laid plans don't always work out, so if your business shuts down before you were able to make full repayment, we write off the debt and part as friends

enough words already!

the process

introductions

the first step is to answer a few questions on the intake form, which gives us a chance to do some homework before we first speak with you

we'll reach out to schedule an initial call, where we'll ask more about the problem you're working on, go through the details of how villagers works, and discuss whether it's a good fit for you

the tree of life

if it looks like we' might be able to help, we will spend a few days with you and your team going into detail

we look to understand your core competencies as a team, what you have learned so far, and any potential roadblocks or assumptions that need to be tested

once we have all this, we can map out the potential paths forwards for your business — we call this your Tree of Life

gtm & projections

having identified some paths forward, we'll move on to the hard question: how are you going to acquire paying customers?

we'll spend time with you to figure out growth and revenue projections, factoring in how these would be affected by different feature sets or go-to-market strategies

decision time

at this point, we have enough information to decide whether we're in a position to cover the cost of your product development

we aim to partner with as many founders as possible, but we do need to be selective in order to survive and keep the party going

if we are not able to partner at this time, we will suggest concrete steps you can take, and goals that, if achieved, could make the difference – and we'll stay in touch regularly to see how you're getting on
