How We Make Money
This is how we make money as we build. As we go along, we'll pay out any profits we make to our members in proportion to their usage of our services.
FROM OUR MEMBERS
Voluntary member contributions (active)
Cooperatives typically start by forming an association of members who pool their money in the form of payments, not investments, to cover their startup costs and go on to provide their services. We're now using our website to build our membership and raise voluntary financial contributions from our members so the we can cover our startup costs and build a web browser.
FROM OUR BROWSER
Search engine royalties and targeted ads
Our browser will make money from search engine royalties and unobtrusive targeted ads. Both of these income streams come from businesses and can amount to billions of dollars of annual income.
FROM FUTURE SERVICES
To be determined by our members
We'll reinvest a portion of our web browser profits to expand into other proven and profitable tech services, like a search engine, according to our members' preferences. We'll reinvest a portion of profits from these services to expand into others.
