How coproduce.me works.
Two paths through the same machine: one for the production, one for everyone who makes it possible.
You have a production
The producer's path
- 1
Start from a template
Pick one of seven templates. It scaffolds your budget shape, milestone rhythm and the roles you'll need.
- 2
Set the goal and milestones
Define the all-or-nothing goal and split the budget into milestones — each with a deliverable someone can approve.
- 3
Open your roles
List what you're missing: funding partners, crew days, gear, GPU hours. The board carries it to the people who have it.
- 4
Go live
Verified backers pledge cash, time or compute. Everything lands in escrow, visible on your page as it happens.
- 5
Deliver, release, recoup
Approved milestones release funds. When revenue returns, the waterfall pays every co-producer on one line.
You want it to exist
The co-producer's path
- 1
Find the work calling you
Browse the live slate or the roles board — by craft, territory or template.
- 2
Choose your contribution
Money, working days at an agreed rate, or the hardware and compute you already own.
- 3
Pledge into escrow
Nothing is charged unless the goal is met. Miss the goal, full refund — all or nothing.
- 4
Approve milestones
Backers see the deliverables and sign off on releases. Money moves only when the work exists.
- 5
Share the recoupment
Your share of the waterfall is written at pledge time and honored on the open ledger.
00:02 · FAQ
Fair questions.
What happens if the goal isn't met?
Nothing is kept. Campaigns are all-or-nothing: if the goal isn't reached by the deadline, every cash pledge is refunded in full and time and resource commitments dissolve. The ledger shows the refund row for every backer.
How is working time valued?
You and the producer agree a day rate when the role is accepted. Those days count toward the campaign goal at that rate, are tracked as contributions, and recoup on the same waterfall as cash.
How does compute count as backing?
GPU hours and render credits are priced at the campaign's declared unit value. The pledge is a commitment to deliver them when the relevant milestone starts; delivered units are logged on the ledger.
When does money actually move?
Twice. Into escrow when the goal is met, and out of escrow when a milestone's deliverables are approved. There is no third moment.
What do premium clients get?
The A-to-Z route: a production vehicle incorporated in the right jurisdiction, the incentives scanner across rebates and treaties, the AI advisor, and a managed co-finance rail for large cheques — wired in, reconciled, deployed per milestone.
Who can see the ledger?
Every backer of a project sees every row of that project's ledger. Aggregate figures — raised, released, remaining — are public on the project page.
What is the verification ladder?
Five levels — email, phone, government ID, track record, verified partner. Each rung unlocks more: higher pledge caps, role applications, campaign creation, premium rails.
Is this investing? Do I get equity?
Backing today is rewards- and recoupment-based; it is not a securities offering. A regulated equity route — investor tokens mapped one-to-one to registered company shares under the QFC Digital Assets Framework, with ECSPR as the EU rail — is on the roadmap for premium projects. See the Investors page.
What does it cost?
Starting a campaign is free. The platform takes a 5% commission on successfully funded campaigns — written on the ledger like every other row.
