You are joining something — not just downloading something

Not just a platform — a movement built to endure.
The software helps us organise.

ETC is a Private Members Association — a community of real, vouched people building something together that is built to carry its own weight. The platform is the tool we use to coordinate, trade, stay safe, learn, and support each other. But the community comes first. Our founding membership funds something sustainable — not just a product launch, but the infrastructure for generations of community life. What this community generates, this community keeps.

Founding members hold governance voting rights from day one — on features, rules, and the direction of ETC. Those rights will be actively exercised as the community grows and members engage. The framework is built in from the start. See full membership benefits →

"We are not selling you a product. We are inviting you into a movement built to endure — sustained by community, reinvested in community, and built for generations to come. Your founding membership makes that real."

Core platform development

Every feature being built — the beacon, encrypted messaging, the marketplace, courses, governance — is funded directly by founding memberships. No feature exists unless members back it.

Security & infrastructure

End-to-end encryption, secure vaults, and privacy-first infrastructure cost real money to build and maintain properly. Your membership funds this — not advertising revenue.

The long-term vision

The roadmap runs to 2028 and full member governance. Every stage is funded by people who care about the outcome, not investors chasing a return. This is what genuine community looks like: generating something real, putting it back in, and letting it grow.

Community support & onboarding

Real people helping real members get started, find their feet, and build something meaningful. Funded by memberships — not outsourced to a bot, not stripped back to save costs. What this community generates, this community keeps.

Mobile apps & device support

Native iOS and Android apps, home screen widgets, offline functionality. The experience you deserve requires proper engineering — funded by this founding round.

Legal & governance framework

The Private Membership Association structure, member rights, dispute resolution, and the constitutional framework that protects members and ensures the platform is governed in their interests.

What founding members receive — and what they leave behind

What founding members receive.

Numbered founding membership

Your place in the founding sequence is permanent. Founding Member #1 through to however many we admit in this phase. That number is yours forever — visible on your profile, written into the record of how this began. You were here when it was still being built. That matters.

Permanent Founder badge

A badge on your profile that marks you as someone who was here at the beginning and helped make it happen. It never expires, never gets taken away, and no future member can ever earn it — only you.

Quarterly founding member events

An invitation to our quarterly founding member events — the community gatherings where progress is shared, direction is set, and your voice directly shapes what gets built next. Think AGM, but one you'll actually want to attend.

Governance voting rights — from day one

As a founding member you have a vote in how the platform is governed. Not someday when you've earned enough trust points — now, because you helped fund it into existence.

Lifetime access locked at founding price

We are aiming to close the founding window in late 2026 — though as with any startup, the exact timing may shift. What is certain is that it will close. Your membership is permanent and fully paid before that happens. That price and that status cannot be obtained afterwards.

Every future feature, included

Everything we build from now until full member governance in 2028 is included in your founding membership at no extra charge. You back the vision once — and you get everything that follows.

The founding window is open — and we are aiming to close it in late 2026.

Startups move at their own pace and the exact date may shift, but the intention is firm. When it closes, the numbered founding memberships, the permanent Founder badge, the invitations to our quarterly events, and this pricing are gone for good. There will be no second founding window and no exceptions.

A place to connect. A space to grow. A home you can trust. A future worth building.
