Founding Funders

You’re one of the first. A true pioneer in a movement that’s giving football back to the fans by taking a leap into the future.

Thanks for being a member of FC the Crowd! This isn’t just a club you support. This is a club you build. Together with other founding members, you're part of something bigger – something bold, fresh and completely member-powered.

Now it’s time to take the next step...

Buy certificates. Fund (y)our dream. And you might even earn a little something from it as well.

We crowdfund our idea via our association, because each member pays a monthly membership fee (€ 12 p/m). In addition, we will raise capital from our members through a cooperative in exchange for tradable (status) certificates.

As an association member you have control, gain influence through participation, and rise through the ranks to earn status and some well deserved perks. Control cannot be bought, but status can. Via cooperative certificates.

We use a stair step model, from 15 euro to 54 euro per certificate. This is so we can offer early funders a better price. The virality share distribution model is used to create urgency, increase virality and reward involvement of our early members.

This is the moment!

• Supporter - 1 cert. --> Show your support!
• Ambassador - 5 cert. --> Acquire guide status level!
• Patron - 25 cert. --> Acquire leader status level!
• Philanthropist - 125 cert. --> Acquire board status level!

• You need to be, and remain, a member of the association to own certificates. Max. 600 certificates per person.
• Certificates become tradable as soon as all certificates have been sold. This is also the “earning model” for the first “status-owners”.
• 66,66% of your funds will be reserved for our club acquisition budget. This will be refunded if we don't buy a club. It is important to understand that this refund is only valid when you remain a member for the duration of the project. If you unsubscribe you will give up any rights to the refund.
