Membership
$2.40M 17%What It Is
Required for facility access. Membership gives your family a place to belong—access to all public spaces, the café and lounges, co-working, indoor play areas, community events, and priority booking for programs. Everything your family needs, under one roof.
Why Membership Matters
- A place for your whole family: Access to lounges, co-working, dining, play spaces, and community events—designed for parents and kids together
- Community connections: Regular interactions build relationships that make switching feel like leaving friends, not just canceling a service
- Members are owners: As part of being a member, you receive ownership tokens in the facility—not as something you're buying, but as part of what membership means here
- Ongoing dividend income: 75% of facility profits are distributed to all token holders, which includes every member
- 25% of profits flow to current members: Through the buyback mechanism, a quarter of all profits go directly to active members, incentivizing engagement and growing community ownership over time
Pricing
| Membership | Rate |
|---|---|
| Member Families | $250/month |
The Ownership Effect
Members don't just use the facility—they own part of it. As the community grows and profits flow, member ownership increases over time. The facility becomes more owned by its members with each passing year, creating something genuinely community-owned.

The Integration Advantage
These aren't separate businesses we're running in parallel. Each component creates infrastructure and demand for the others:
A high-end daycare requires a kitchen to serve healthy meals. Once you have the kitchen, you can offer food service to everyone.
A busy enrichment program needs comfortable spaces where parents can wait, work, or socialize. That creates demand for co-working and lounges.
Transportation solves the logistics nightmare for working parents, driving enrollment in enrichment and school-age programs.
Membership creates community and switching costs, while flex rooms monetize space during off-hours.
