The Pilot Launch will give us real data, sponsor stories, and momentum to refine the model and prepare for full-scale rollout in Year 2. Together, we can lock in the partnership option that feels right and begin building within 45 days.
Partnership Options
We’ve structured three partnership options so you can choose the balance that feels most comfortable. Each option reflects the shared roles:
- Charles & Damali: Relationships, venue operations, ticketing, and speaker pipeline
- Grindaholik Media Group: Branding, marketing, packaging, media, and recap storytelling
Option 1: Flat Fee + Retainer (Safe & Predictable)
- $6,500 one-time setup (branding, sponsorship packaging, landing page, first event launch)
- $1,000 per month retainer (ongoing marketing, event promotion, recap media, and sponsor support)
Best if: You want a clear, predictable monthly cost while keeping most of the financial upside as revenue grows.
Option 2: Lower Setup + Revenue Share (Performance-Based)
- $4,500 one-time setup (lower upfront cost)
- 12% of membership, sponsorship, and vendor revenue for the first 12 months
Best if: You prefer a smaller upfront cost and are comfortable sharing revenue as the Hub grows. With this model, we both win bigger when events perform.
Option 3: Lowest Setup + Profit Share (Long-Term Partnership)
- $3,500 one-time setup (lowest upfront investment)
- 10% of net profit for 24 months (two years)
Best if: You want the lowest upfront risk and see me as a true long-term partner invested in Tulsa’s growth hub beyond just Year 1.
