Your Founding Invitation

Bring Your People.
Open the door to something built to endure.

The most valuable thing you can give someone right now — a place in something real that is built to last.

Right now, the door to ETC's founding membership is open. It is aimed to close in late 2026. After that, there is no lifetime access, no founding price, no numbered membership — just a monthly fee. Every man or woman you bring through this door before it closes gets something they can never get again. That is what your invitation is worth.

Aimed to close late 2026
Why this matters

Getting in on the ground floor is rare.

Most platforms launch publicly and grow through advertising. ETC is different — it is not just a platform, it is a movement built to endure. It grows through the trust of its members — man to man, woman to woman. That means the people you bring in are the people who shape what this becomes.

During the founding phase, every man or woman who joins ETC pays a single one-off price — £99 for a Founding Member or £299 for a Founding Builder — and that is it. Forever. No monthly fees. No renewals. No price increases. Their founding membership number is theirs for life.

After the founding window closes, that offer is gone. New members will pay from £4/month recurring. They will not get a founding number. They will not get the founding badge. They will not get lifetime access at a one-off price. That door closes once and does not reopen.

And this is not just a platform they are joining. ETC is a Private Members Association. The men and women you invite are becoming members of an association — with rights, a voice in how it is governed, and a stake in everything it builds. Disputes are resolved by a jury of peers. Founding elders provide stewardship and oversight while member voting rights grow in active influence as the community develops. What that means in full →

When you share your invitation, you are not just pointing people toward a platform. You are giving them access to something they cannot get any other way, at a price that will never exist again. That is what makes a founding invitation genuinely powerful — and genuinely worth sharing.

Your three invitations

Three levels of trust. Three invitations.

Every member has three different methods for inviting others into ETC — each reflecting a different level of trust. The probationary code is yours to share as widely as you like. Introduced and vouched invitations are generated individually, tied to a specific name and email address. How you use them is up to you. The deeper the trust, the more valuable the invitation — and the more you earn when the man or woman you invite joins.

Invitation one
The Probationary Code
You earn
£1
per founding membership payment made through this code

Share it everywhere — this is your beacon

Your probationary code is the one you put out into the world. Post it on social media. Share it in forums, groups, newsletters, and communities. Treat it like an affiliate link — the more places it appears, the more people discover ETC during the founding phase.

Anyone who uses this code joins the waitlist at probationary level — the lowest priority tier. They will be called upon after vouched and introduced members. But they still get onto the waitlist, they are still in the founding window, and they still have a chance at ground floor access.

You earn £1 for every man or woman who goes on to make a founding membership payment through your probationary code. Put it everywhere. Let it work for you.

Share anywhere Social media Forums & groups Newsletters Waitlist — lower priority
Invitation two
The Introduced Invitation
You earn
£2
per founding membership payment made through this invitation

For people you know — but would not stake your membership on

Your introduced invitation is for the men and women in your wider circle — people whose character you are broadly familiar with, but who you do not know closely enough to fully vouch for. Think work colleagues, people from your networking groups, your weekly sports club, other associations you are part of, social circles where you know someone well enough to think well of them — but not well enough to put your own membership on the line for them.

This is not something you share publicly. Each introduced invitation is generated individually — you enter the full name and email address of the specific man or woman you are inviting, and a unique invitation is created for them alone. It can be sent directly to their email or shared personally. It belongs to that individual and no one else.

Using this invitation still carries a partial responsibility: the community holds you to some degree accountable for the behaviour of those you introduce. But it is a meaningful step down from the full weight of a vouch. If you are not sure whether to vouch or introduce — introduce.

Those introduced sit at a higher priority on the waitlist than probationary members, giving them a meaningfully better chance of securing their founding membership before the window closes.

The Vouched Invitation
You earn

Your most powerful invitation — and your most serious responsibility

Your vouched invitation is the most significant thing you can give to someone. When you generate one for a man or woman, you are staking your own membership on them. Not just your reputation — your membership. The community places its trust in them because you have placed yours. That trust flows directly from you.

If the man or woman you vouch for behaves in a way that brings harm, dishonesty, or disruption to the community, your own membership may be called into question. In serious cases, both you and the individual you vouched for may be removed from the PMA. This is not a theoretical risk — it is how a trust-based community protects itself.

Like the introduced invitation, each vouched invitation is generated individually — you enter the full name and email address of the specific man or woman you are vouching for, and a unique invitation is created for them alone. It is a deliberate, named act. There is no way to vouch for someone anonymously or in passing.

Only vouch for men and women you know well, trust completely, and would be proud to stand beside inside this community. If you have any doubt — even a small one — do not vouch. Introduce them instead.

Used wisely, your vouched invitation is enormously powerful — those you vouch for go to the top of the waitlist, earn you £4 each when they pay, and carry your name as a founding endorsement inside ETC.

Highest waitlist priority — accepted first

Vouched members are called before introduced or probationary members. During the founding phase this is a significant advantage — but that priority comes with the full weight of your personal endorsement behind it. Your vouch is not just an invitation. It is a commitment to what this community is building.

Close trusted individuals only Your membership at stake Waitlist — highest priority First to be accepted
Waitlist priority

Not all waitlist places are equal.

The founding window is finite. Demand may well exceed the available slots before it closes. How quickly someone is called from the waitlist depends directly on which code they used to join.

📋

Waitlist priority order — founding phase

When founding membership slots open, this is the order in which the waitlist is called

1
Vouched

Called first — every time

Men and women who joined through a vouched code are at the top of every batch. They are the most trusted, most verified, and most prioritised. During the founding phase, a vouch is the single most valuable thing a prospective member can have.

2
Introduced

Called after vouched members

Introduced members are called once vouched slots in a batch have been filled. They have a strong chance of founding membership — but not the certainty that a vouch provides. Still significantly ahead of probationary members.

3
Probationary

Called last — if slots remain

Probationary members are on the waitlist and in with a chance — but they are called only once vouched and introduced members in a batch have been accommodated. If the founding window closes before their slot arrives, they will not receive founding pricing.

What this means for you: The men and women you vouch for are not just getting a faster queue — they are getting the best possible chance of securing something that cannot be replicated after late 2026. The priority system is one of the most important reasons to give your vouched code only to those you genuinely trust and want to see thrive inside ETC.
Earning potential

Simple numbers. Real rewards.

Every payment made through one of your codes puts money in your pocket. The maths is straightforward — here is what it looks like in practice.

📢
Probationary code
£100

100 founding members paying through your probationary code. Put it on social media, in groups, in newsletters. The more widely it travels, the more it earns.

🤝
Introduced code
£100

50 founding members paying through your introduced code. Fewer people — higher trust, higher reward per introduction.

Vouched code
£100

25 founding members paying through your vouched code. The highest trust, the highest reward, and the greatest gift you can give those you vouch for.

Rewards are paid on confirmed founding membership payments only — not waitlist sign-ups. You can track exactly who has used each of your invitation methods, when they joined the waitlist, and when they converted to a paying member — all from your dashboard in the members area.
