Our Funding Partners
Our festivities aim is the promotion of the civic commonwealth, a system that exists to develop social capitalism...the development of people and communities, which uses a form of enterprise that binds together both for-profit with non-profit operations, which we call a Shared-Profit, providing perpetual funding for the commonwealths projects.
In the process of creating a multitude of these shared-profits, which will operate together in collectives, part of the money we raise will go to covering our costs of repaying you, the funding partner and some of our commonwealth projects.....this money comes from our Commonwealth Fund....serving the Greater Seattle Area.
IN DETAIL
80 percent of the moneys raised will go to the creation of SP's that will pay their NPC (non-profit and civic obligation) to our Global Commonwealth, CHI.
Additionally 10 percent will fund C-Systems operations directly (outside of SSF, SC, CHI, UW Cola, etc..).
And 10 percent will fund our Seattle Commonwealth (SC) Projects, and which will cover all SSF obligations, including your repayment of investment, along with a 100% interest.
The investors will also get their money and 100 percent ROI back, but over several years, whereas your ROI will be considerably quicker.
There will be 10 volleys of fund raising for
each collective of businesses with commonwealth obligations....obligated collectives.
Collectives
One of the special qualities among these enterprises is that they will share resources and problem solving, maximizing the speed and efficiency of fulfilling the obligations of the collective to its investors.
Independents
There will be at least another 10 volleys designed to be funding mechanisms for independent Not-for-profits (unrelated to us)....these independent collectives (SSF obligations of 30% of first 5 years of non-profit share).....will receive moneys from foundations and private individuals not seeking compensation.
These independents will be partly owned by C-Systems...as we will have a 20 percent stake in each independent collective.
We will sell our stakes, in advance (the first 12 months of operations), in the form of 5-year futures notes (52 week average price...estimated value at maturity).
This will be our second source of attaining the funds neccessary to repay you....a compliment, a supplement, and a back-up that secures your ROI.
Each of the volleys will consist of 50 billion dollars.
FAIR WARNING
If sufficent funds are raised, from these investors...in the collective SPs....enough to cover a partners share, prior to all 5 would-be partners integration/funding, then the remaining unfulfilled partnerships will be abandoned and SSF funding will come directly from the investors.
Other Considerations
We also ask that you assist us in filtering between ideas (of would-be start-ups)
that are fortuitous and lackluster and between individuals and teams that are competent and compelling, from those of a lesser breed, you will also have an opportunity to form relationships with many future businesses from their inception, and meet prospective employees, while refining your own sense of what the future holds with regard to the notions that the commonwealth system represents and its primary instrument, the shared-profit.
Civic Participation
All seattle commonwealth projects serve to enhance the appeal of Seattle to would-be-visitors and even more so the long-term residents, they improve upon creative expression and engagement of the whole civic body, which creates a compelling and supportive environment to maintain these shared-profit businesses in their best shape for the long-term.
Natural Resources
Seattle being one of the cities with the highest per-capita concentrations of learned people in the U.S., will dramatically improve the likelihood that talented and ambitious people will helm and advance the interests of these operations, from the outset.
Guarantees
Though no combination of talent and resources can guarantee that money put in will result in money coming back out, in equal or greater measure, you can alleviate yourselves of any worry by securing your investment through the promotion of participating us-friendly governments.
This guarantees that if you are unsatisfied with how our process (in speed or volume) of gathering funds is occuring you can simply cut your loses and your moneys will still be available...for investment in the country that has backed the investment...
[ This does not double your money, you would only receive the original sum invested. ]
You create your own shared-profit operations in the
guaranteer country, with those re-funds, or if you prefer, tax-breaks or other compensation, as you may negotiate otherwise.
The guaranteer will receive their compensation from SSF when funds are there to be drawn from the commonwealth fund.
The Nitty Gritty
You are basically being asked to risk an investment on the prospects that the notions of SSF and SC, and it's underlying premise of the shared-profit as an attractive lure for investment, and as the future of commerce.....are likely correct.
Our longer path is to secure the funds directly from
these investors, or international partners (sovereign nations), and use the money we save in avoiding partnership, to fund more projects of the seattle commonwealth.
In becoming a funding partner, the money you provide expresses your confidence in us, giving creedence and cache to our ideas, which in turn speed the process of accruing the investment funds for the commonwealth fund, which pays you back.
Your primary role is to speed the process...to get our festival started NOW.
Food for Thought
SSF is first and foremost a festival, its appeal needs to be grounded in simple joys and pleasures, but its aim and design is to foster a new way of thinking about the place of business in society and how the gains of private enterprise should be used in generating a self-sustaining growth and development of the human being and his or her community rather than the stuff of human commerce.
Human beings sustain commerce and so long as people want things they do not have, they will.... but the other way around does not always hold true, and can be especially untrue when it comes to communities, which may be abandoned at anytime for greener shore$ elsewhere, and that is what we are here to correct.
We believe that business should serve the community, not the other way around, and the same goes for people.
Business is a vital resource, but not the purpose of community, nor the purpose of life, nor is it something worthy of worship.
It is just a tool.
So this is a movement....a new school of philosophy, and a new social system being employed.......not a bacchanalistic distraction.
You would be wise to take advantage of changing currents, while they favor you.
