Overview
Vers Capital is the account underneath PTD. Every $5/mo CLUB membership pays into it. It funds three things: investment in the platform to hire DØLLs, a DØLL grant program, and partnerships with leading trans non-profits. It is not a holding company. No parent entity exists today.
Where the money goes
The platform fee funds the platform: engineering, support, infrastructure, payouts, fraud, trust & safety. It keeps the lights on and the build moving. It does not feed a redistribution scheme. The DØLLs keep their cut; PTD keeps what it costs to run.
| Fee source | Rate | DØLL keeps | What the fee funds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Partner brand | flat 6% | Paid first | Platform operations + development |
| Launch a store | beta · by application | Paid first | Platform operations + development |
The thesis
- Support artists. DØLLs keep nearly all of every sale and 100% of every gift.
- Keep it in the community. DØLLs get paid first instead of leaking money out to platforms that came before.
- Charge less. Lower fees than the marketplaces and crowdfunders we're replacing.
