How can I make money?
When members apply what they have learned to identify high-potential companies and successfully introduce them to us for public listing services, they stand to earn a meaningful portion of the cash and equity advisory fees from these engagements. It's a merit-based system that recognizes and compensates the hard work and keen eye for opportunity that our members bring to the table.
In addition, members have the chance to increase their income through high-value referrals in areas critical for our clients' growth. This layered incentive structure not only broadens the scope of potential earnings but also deepens the members' engagement with each client's success journey, creating a comprehensive ecosystem of support and growth.
