Your choice

OYG earns revenue from licensing consensus-building networks to communities. We define a “Community” as a geographic part of a town, city, state or nation. Members of an OYG community get access to digital tools they can use for open expression and consensus building, with the ability to define community needs and priorities, inform government of their concerns and demands, take direct action to solve problems, respond to catastrophes and create enterprises that improve quality of life.

$ 0.75 USD/year per Participant

Although, users could pay a microfee of $0.07 per month added to an energy or ISP bill, orchestrating this could require considerable effort and it would take longer to achieve sufficient penetration for determining consensus. OYG sells a license for an entire community directly to communities.

Public agencies and private companies and other organizations benefit from sponsoring (paying the license fee) for community networks in various ways. Our marketing strategy addresses each of these sectors as a separate revenue center albeit there are no differences in the product or costs.

REVENUE BY SOURCE

OYG revenue derives from 6 sources:

1. Individual Community Members: may pay a micro-fee (pennies per month) on their internet or other utility bill.

2. Individual Community Organizations: may license OYG for their entire community for a flat annual fee of $3,750 for up to 15,000 residents (assuming 5000 active daily users). This fee increases for each additional 1000 daily users. 

3. Public agencies (cities, counties, etc.): may sponsor licenses for their communities. A city of 150,000 people will typically have 10 or more community councils  that would receive a license.

4. Public/Private Utilities: Including Bandwidth or energy providers or other companies may sponsor licenses for communities they serve.

5. Nonprofit, Foundations & NGOs: Local, regional, national and international organizations, whose mission it is to serve the needs of populations and communities, or to address environmental concerns.

6. Financial Services: OYG’s blockchain supported network can offer access to better mortgage rates  as well as community-centric access to capital for small business development and training, with new opportunities for small business that have been unable to tap traditional funding sources.

Direct Community Licenses

OYG encourages communities to pay for their own licenses as a preferable alternative to sponsorship by corporations, governments or NGOs. Many communities may not want to feel dependent on a sponsor. Organized communities that pay their own fee receive the same product and support as sponsored communities.

A city of 150,000 people may typically have 10 or more independently operating community councils or other form of autonomous organization that can affordably license an OYG instance for their community members.

OYG’s founders are committed to creating a non-profit that evaluates requests from at-risk communities for full or partial subsidies to cover license fees.  OYG will use a percentage of its profit to cover the cost of these subsidies.

Government, Non-profit and Corporate Sponsors

In promoting sponsorship, OYG is tapping into an existing market in the same way that news outlets have for centuries. Governments and Corporations are spending $billions a year to advertise, educate, inform and influence public sentiment and create brand recognition.  OYG optimizes the potential benefit for consumers and communities from services provided by sponsors and enhances their name recognition. Corporations and bandwidth providers will reach their customers more cost-effectively and efficiently by sponsoring the OYG app for communities, while governments of cities, counties, states and nations can get more value from the ability to connect directly with their clients, than they can through advertising and demographic analyses.

Our target in 3 years is 70 million discrete users in 14,000 communities generating $59M recurring annual revenue. This is based on an annual license fee of $3,750 for communities of up to 15,000 residents.

GOVERNMENT MARKETS

City and state governments

GOVERNMENT SPONSORSHIP

Governments spend $billions on public information, promotional campaigns, PR consultants, polls, surveys and public workshops necessary to meet requirements for public input, and yet public trust has declined. OYG offers a way for constituents to directly inform their governments about their priorities and wishes.

City, county and state governments in United States:

– 14 cities with more than a million population
– 335 cities with between 100,000 and 1 million
– 4115 cities with between 10,000 and 100,000

2020: 82% urban residents: 331,000,000 pop.

Median Age: 38

City and state governments in Latin America:

– 55 cities with more than a million population
– 2000 cities under 1 million

 

2020: 82% urban residents: 539,427,335 pop.

Median Age: 31

A city of 1 million people may have more than 100 discrete communities, neighborhoods and villages, each with uniquely characteristic features, cultural and economic values and different opportunities and resources. OYG offers a way for communities to inventory such qualities and resources for mutual benefit.

NON-PROFIT MARKETS

NGOs

NGOs

An NGO is distinguished from other charitable organizations by its “boots on the ground” commitment, with volunteers embedded in communities, working with  residents to “get things done” without the bureaucracy and regulations of government programs and agencies. Some NGOs are part of a global network that can channel resources through international relationships that governments do not possess. OYG is a win-win for NGOs that license our app for communities they serve to help the community focus on vital needs and set their own priorities and  marshall resources that meet their needs.  An NGO can also play a role in helping deliver consensus reports resulting from polls to media as well as local, state, and national government and promote attention of local and national leaders.

 
Nonprofits are distinguished from foundations by OYG, although they may serve similar public benefit and charitable purposes. Private businesses are sometimes organized as nonprofits to take advantage of tax exemptions and grants available to not-for-profit organizations that offer a public benefit. Many NPs are grassroots organizations with a specific purpose or focus, such as, low income housing development, or serving needs of a specific demographic, or providing or advocating music education, childhood education, eldercare, health and well-being services, and so on.

 
NGOs are generally nonprofit, charitable, civil society organizations(CSO). They are also known as citizen sector organizations (CSO), social benefit organizations (SBO), advocacy organizations, voluntary organizations, grassroots support organizations (GSO), or non-state actors (NSA).

 

Foundations

Foundations

Philanthropic foundations invest in solutions that have potential for quick and self-sustaining impact in specific areas. Some focus on advancing economic mobility and social progress in low and moderate-income communities.  OYG can be a catalyst for communities to build their own solutions for workforce development and education, affordable housing, and food security.  In the aftermath of the pandemic, foundations have broadened their scope to include projects focusing on neighborhood revitalization and small business relief.

OYG may contract with Foundations to support specific objectives. Alternatively, communities may apply directly to foundations for a grant to cover an OYG license on websites such as letsroam.com (https://letsroam.com/).

OYG can be sponsored by Foundations to provide an invaluable resource for communities with global connections, that can help them prepare for and recover from a catastrophic economic or natural disaster.

COMMERCIAL MARKETS

Businesses

Businesses and non-government organizations

Businesses and non-government organizations spend $billions of dollars a year on advertising and social media. Sponsoring communities is a way to achieve brand recognition and trust on a local level.

OYG will provide opportunities that are discrete and respectful with communities’ values. There are also opportunities for direct interaction with the community, that can help improve customer loyalty.

ISPs - Bandwidth providers

ISPs - Bandwidth providers

By sponsoring OYG for communities they serve,  enterprises like Starlink, AT&T, Cox, Verizon, as well as public and private Utilities can demonstrate commitment to their customers as well as reliability of their services. They will also have opportunities to interact directly with customers to get feedback, inform them of new plans and specials and improve customer satisfaction through better support.
