How can we help you?

An EverUP is a company funded by its own consumers, offering exclusive price and service advantages. By investing in an EverUP, you become a proactive part and can enjoy benefits that are not available to the general public.

Detailed Information

An EverUP is a company managed, financed, or operated by its main consumers. It focuses on meeting the needs of these consumers by offering products or services with quality and advantageous prices, aiming to maximize the value delivered to the consumers who support or invest in it.

Key Characteristics:

  • Consumer Funding: Customers themselves invest in the company
  • Exclusive Advantages: Differentiated prices and premium service for investors
  • Active Participation: Consumers have a voice in company decisions
  • Benefits not available to general public: Access to special products, services and conditions

Are you ready to experience a new way of consumption, where you are both the investor and the consumer?

The main differences between EverUPs and Startups lie in the funding model, customer focus, and business sustainability.

Detailed Information

EverUPs challenge the conventional startup model, proving that true innovation can lie in effectively and consistently meeting consumer needs.

Key Differences:
Aspect EverUP StartUP
Funding Consumer-investors External investors
Focus Consumer satisfaction Rapid growth and profit
Sustainability Sustainable model from the start Seeking scalability
Relationship Long-term commitment Focus on user acquisition

With their resilience, financial stability, and customer focus, EverUPs emerge not only as alternatives to startups but as their potential "devourers," redefining the business landscape for a new era.

An EverUP can be more or less advantageous for the investor/maintainer consumer. This advantage is estimated by the Economic Advantage Index (EAI) and the Service Differentiation Index (SDI).

Detailed Information
Economic Advantage Index (EAI)

The EAI quantitatively measures the economic benefits that consumer-investors receive:

  • Discounts on products and services
  • Participation in company results
  • Access to preferential prices
  • Exclusive financial benefits
Service Differentiation Index (SDI)

The SDI evaluates the quality and exclusivity of the service offered:

  • Priority and personalized service
  • Exclusive communication channels
  • Differentiated technical support
  • Enhanced customer experience

EverUP Categories:

  • Category A: EAI > 20% and SDI > 80%
  • Category B: EAI 10-20% and SDI 60-80%
  • Category C: EAI 5-10% and SDI 40-60%

In the world of startups, innovation is often seen as the essential engine driving success. When this innovation is combined with a business model that places consumers at the center, a powerful concept is born: startups structured as EverUPs.

Detailed Information

A startup structured as an EverUP combines the best of both worlds: the agility and innovation of startups with the sustainability and customer focus of EverUPs.

Advantages of the Hybrid Model:
  • Market Validation: Consumer-investors validate the product from the beginning
  • Sustainable Funding: Capital comes directly from the target market
  • Continuous Feedback: Constant improvement based on real needs
  • Customer Loyalty: Investors have an interest in the company's success
Structuring Process:
  1. Problem Identification: Clearly define consumer pain points
  2. Solution Development: Create innovative product/service
  3. EverUP Model: Structure consumer investment
  4. Controlled Launch: Start with select group of consumer-investors
  5. Sustainable Expansion: Growth based on investor satisfaction

This model represents a natural evolution of entrepreneurship, where innovation and sustainability go hand in hand.

The compensation of managers in an EverUP is oriented towards sustainability and value for the consumer, differing from the startup model where the goal is rapid growth and high profits.

Detailed Information

The remuneration model in EverUPs is fundamentally different from the traditional startup model, prioritizing sustainability and consumer value.

Manager Remuneration Sources:
  • Membership Fees: Percentage of consumer-investor contributions
  • Margins on Non-Participatory Products: Profit on products/services for non-investors
  • Sales to External Consumers: Revenue from customers who are not investors
  • Performance Bonuses: Based on EAI and SDI indices
Differences from Startup Model:
Aspect EverUP StartUP
Remuneration Focus Sustainability and customer satisfaction Rapid growth and valuation
Wealth Potential Moderate and sustainable High potential for great fortunes
Risk Low to moderate High

Important: It is unlikely for an EverUP manager to become a billionaire, unlike what can happen in startups, where disruptive innovation can generate great fortunes for founders. The focus remains on the satisfaction of consumer-investors.

EverUPs can be established as consumer cooperatives, corporations, partnerships, and some other forms up to a true loyalty program that we call the EverUP Certified Advantage Program.

It is very important to measure how advantageous participation in an EverUP is for the consumer. The performance indices were created for this purpose, forming the "Certified EverUP Advantage".
