Realise your real worth
to the brands you support
Many businesses and start-ups rely on their communities and customers to help them succeed.
Whether you’re hosting on Air bnb, writing reviews for Trip Advisor or telling a friend how great the latest app is - you’re already helping businesses grow.
But until now all you could get back were reward points, discounts or most likely - nothing at all!
KOOS puts communities at the centre and allows businesses to easily reward them for their input with stakes that are equity-linked.
This means they are linked to the value of the business – so can grow if and when the business does – turning your initial investment of time or energy into a real financial return.
So how does KOOS work?
KOOS community-led programs are offered by businesses and brands who use our platform to incentivize and reward their valuable communities.
If you’re thinking of supporting a KOOS-powered business or are part of a community incentivized by KOOS – here’s how it works.
1. A business launches a KOOS program – and define an ambitious common goal
Each business’s KOOS program will have a different community and goal at its heart. But the goal will be related to a big business ambition – for example reach 200,000 users, get new business investment, or start making a profit.
It’s up to the business and community to reach the goal together!
2. The business sets up a ‘reward fund’ for community help to reach this goal
This fund will usually be a % of its total equity – (the total value of the business). Community members can then earn tokens which represent a stake in this equity fund. We call these equity-linked stakes.
What is an equity-linked stake?An equity-linked stake is one which is linked to the overall valuation of the business. A bit like a stock or share.
This means that the real-life value of the stakes you earn can go up (or down) with the value of the business.
So your support is a genuine investment in businesses that you think will do well: everything you do to help them grow can contribute to a higher valuation – and higher returns for you!
3. Community members join the program – to help them reach that goal
All you need to supply is your phone and email address. You’ll then be registered with KOOS. You don’t need a crypto wallet or anything else.
4. Particpants deliver impactful actions to earn tokens
An impactful action is something that helps a business towards its wider goal. These actions will vary widely – from being an early adopter or loyal customer, through to recommending their business, or doing specific tasks to support them.
What is an ‘impactful action’ worth?The value of these actions will vary depending on its value to the business.
e.g They may reward a referral by giving 1 token. But if that referral converts to a new client, you might get 10!
Business may let you know which actions are valuable to them and how many tokens those actions are worth.
5. All community-member’s actions are automatically recorded – and rewarded with equity-linked stakes
Impactful actions are automatically rewarded with tokens – and KOOS - will legally and independently – record all your actions and the tokens you receive for them.
You can track your tokens and see an estimate of value in real time by logging into KOOS.
How do I increase the value of my stake?
- By doing more actions and earning more tokens – and a bigger stake.
- By the company valuation growing - which will increase the value of your stake.
However you can only realise this value when the business and community hit their common goal. This is the payout.
6. The business and community reach their big goal! It’s payout time.
When the business hits the agreed goal, it triggers payout for all the participating community members. At this point you can ‘cash-in’ your stake for its equity-linked value with the business. Congratulations!
