Hey there founder, how would you like to get that new idea out of your head and get it to cashflow positive in 90 days or less? Better yet, how would you like to do just that side-by-side with up to 12 other people doing the same thing with their ideas?

That's this.


90 Days to Cashflow Positive

Since starting my first company in October 1989 I've been fortunate enough to have launched and grown a handful of other companies and projects to cashflow positive in 90 days or less.

Never written a business plan (read hundreds over the years).

Never raised money from a VC (been offered funding, but declined).

The single most frequent question I've been asked by fellow entrepreneurs and founders over the last 37 years has been:

"How did you do that?"

So, here's the plan for a 90 Days to Cashflow Positive Experience, see if this makes sense for you.

  1. Have a new business idea you have not tried to build yet
  2. Be flexible with your idea and how to execute it
  3. Get ready to collaborate with other founders and do the work over 90 days
  4. Determine 15%-75% of your gross monthly revenue you want to put into the program for 18 months

Networked Enterprise Development

Networked Enterprise Development is a regenerative economic financial model within a startup studio cooperative focused on launching and growing new innovative businesses to cashflow positive in 90 days or less. At this stage, it's simply an idea.

A Starting Point

Keeping startup expenses from low to nonexistent, the focus of these new businesses is sales, marketing, early revenue, & positive impact.

Each of these companies will have just one founder and by design will never be acquired or IPO. Other founders can launch their new companies under the Networked Enterprise Development umbrella of this structure, and if many are built at volume could have a remarkable network effect.

Each startup company is started with the founder dedicating 15-75% of gross monthly revenue going into The Rising Tide as determined by the founder.

The Rising Tide

100% of the contributed affiliate funds goes equally into the five segments distributed on a month basis:

  1. Supporting women entrepreneurs in developing countries via Kiva
  2. Local, regional, national & global nonprofit & nongovernmental organization
  3. Grant & seed funding for social entrepreneurs & social enterprises, microventure finance
  4. Growth based marketing back into studio companies aiming for a 1:8 to 1:15 ROI, 1:10 avg
  5. Profit sharing to all current company members on an annual basis
