Pay once. Get full Builder access for life — every feature, every future release, no recurring fees, no targets, no timers. What this community generates, this community keeps — starting with what you build. One payment. Done.
The Founding Builder membership is the complete platform — every tool for creating, selling, organising, and growing within ETC. Nothing held back, nothing gated behind higher tiers. Built to carry its own weight, and yours.
List goods, services, and skills across multiple categories. No limits on active listings. Physical goods, digital products, and service offerings all supported with full transaction handling through ETC's UP wallet.
Build and publish courses within the community. Set your own pricing, manage enrolments, and track progress. Revenue goes directly to you — ETC takes no cut of your course sales beyond the platform fee.
Create and promote events — in-person, online, or hybrid. Sell tickets, manage attendees, send reminders. Full event lifecycle from announcement to post-event follow-up, all within ETC.
Create and manage multiple groups within the ETC community. Set access rules, membership criteria, and content permissions. Private, semi-public, or open — your group, your rules.
See how your content, listings, and events are performing. Track member engagement, growth trends, and conversion data. Real numbers, not vanity metrics — designed for builders who want to understand what works.
A lightweight CRM built for community builders — track your members, their activity, their interests, and their history with your group. Built for relationship management, not sales funnels.
Reach your audience inside ETC with targeted announcements, event promotions, and community updates. Schedule posts, manage campaigns, and communicate at the right moment without leaving the platform.
Connect ETC to your existing tools and workflows. Full API access for integrating with external systems — useful for builders who run operations across multiple platforms or want to automate workflows.
ETC is in closed beta. The platform will grow significantly from here. Every feature added after launch is included in your Founding Builder membership at no extra cost. You're not paying for what exists today — you're locking in access to everything that will exist. Members who join after the founding window pay monthly and may not have access to all features.
ETC is being built right now. The men and women who join during the founding phase are not customers — they are founders. These perks reflect that.
Every Founding Builder receives a sequential membership number — the lower your number, the earlier you were. Your number is permanent and displayed on your profile. It reflects when you chose to back ETC, and it never changes.
A Founding Builder badge appears on your profile and is visible across the platform for life. It cannot be earned after the founding window closes — it belongs only to the men and women who were here at the beginning.
From the Spring Equinox, 20 March 2027, founding members are invited to quarterly in-person events. These are not product demos or webinars — they are gatherings of the people who built this community together. Founding Builders are always on the list.
ETC is a Private Members Association. When you join, you are not becoming a user of a product — you are becoming a member of an association that exists entirely for the benefit of its members. Founding members hold governance voting rights from day one — on platform direction, rule changes, community standards, and dispute resolution by a jury of peers. Those rights will be actively exercised as the community grows and members engage. The framework is ready from the moment you join. What being a PMA member means →
£299 once. That is the total cost of your Founding Builder membership — forever. No monthly fees, no price increases, no renewal decisions. After the founding window closes, new builders pay from £4/month recurring. Your price never changes.
Everything added to the platform after launch is included in your membership. You are not locked into a snapshot of ETC as it exists today — you own access to what it becomes. No upgrade tiers, no feature add-ons, no premium unlocks.
The Founding Builder membership is for men and women who want to build — and who want to do it without conditions, timers, or targets attached to their access.
Writers, podcasters, filmmakers, independent journalists — anyone who creates and wants to build a paying audience and community around their work, outside of platform algorithms.
Farmers, makers, artisans, local service providers — anyone who trades locally and wants to reach real people in their area without paying commission to large marketplaces.
Teachers, coaches, mentors, and trainers who want to publish courses, manage students, and build a learning community around their subject — with direct payment, no platform tax.
People who run local groups, neighbourhood networks, associations, or interest communities — and want the tools to manage membership, events, and communication in one place.
Professionals and advocates working in law, rights, and justice who want to reach and support communities navigating complex systems — through a trusted, private platform.
Neighbourhood watch coordinators, preparedness groups, first responders, and safety advocates who need reliable, private communication and coordination tools.
Both lead to full Founding Builder membership. Which is right for you depends on how you want to get there.

If you know someone who'd benefit from building on ETC — tell them. Your vouch is the most valuable thing you can give them.
