Founders
Leave a legacy for mankind
Executive Summary
CareHub is building a patient-first, multi-disease health platform designed to close the Care Gap at global scale. The founders model combines mission protection, transparent governance, and carefully structured long-term upside for people willing to help shape the platform early.
As a Founder, you hold the power to transform lives at scale. CareHub represents a new model of philanthropic capitalism where social impact and financial returns align.
Founder Snapshot
$700,000 total founder raise: funds the initial 12-month operating plan from July 2026 to June 2027 across build, legal, beta ops, and ICO preparation.
$25 illustrative IPO case: the scenario price used in the founder model shown on this page. It is illustrative only, not guaranteed.
100 Founding Council seats: a $1,000 entry point for curated community governance and advisory input alongside the larger founder tiers.
We're building the world's first multi-disease health platform, uniting 1.7B+ patients across Cancer, Alzheimer's, Autism, Parkinson's, Obesity, Type II Diabetes, Long COVID, and Aged Care. Our Founding CEO and Core Honorary Founders are cancer patients who understand the urgent need to simplify life for patients and their loved ones.
Why Become a Founder?
- Social Impact: Fill a $470B care gap while transforming how millions experience their health journey
- Financial Scenario: In the modeled $25 IPO case shown on this page, a co-founder allocation would imply $50K to $250M in value; this is illustrative, not guaranteed.
- Legacy Creation: Your contribution publicly recognized, wallet address transparently shared to build trust
- Mission Protection: Delaware PBC structure legally prevents abandoning patient-first mission
Total Founder Raise: $700,000 underwrites the initial 12-month operating plan from July 2026 through June 2027 (platform build, legal/compliance, trademarks, beta ops, ICO prep). Four tiers ensure accessibility and recognition: Principal ($250K), Co-Founders ($50K), Founding Council ($1K), and Honorary Founders ($0, contribution-based). Founder funding runs in parallel to ICO preparation; ICO timing is not dependent on filling all founder seats.
⏱️ Recruitment Timeline & ICO Independence
July 2026 launch: The founder program now starts in July 2026. From that start point, realistic fill estimates remain Co-Founder positions (3-6 months) and Founding Council onboarding (2-3 months).
Operating implication: The current founder model funds a July 2026 to June 2027 operating window rather than a January-start calendar year. We prioritize selecting the right founders over speed - each founder shapes the initiative's trajectory and must demonstrate genuine alignment with the patient-first mission.
Critical: The Founder raise runs parallel to ICO preparation, not as a prerequisite. Unfilled Founder positions do not block ICO launch. The ICO (public token sale) and Founder raise (private equity with governance rights) serve different purposes and different investor profiles.
Bottom line: We'd rather have 4 mission-aligned Co-Founders at ICO launch than 7 who don't share our values. Quality over quota.
Four-Tier Founder Structure
We've designed a tiered founder structure that balances significant commitment with accessible entry points, ensuring diverse perspectives while maintaining mission alignment.
| Tier | Allocation | Investment | IPO Value ($25) | Return Multiple |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Principal Founder | 4% (20M tokens) | $250,000 | $500,000,000 | 2,000x |
| Co-Founders (7) | 2% each (10M tokens) | $50,000 each | $250,000,000 each | 5,000x |
| Founding Council (100) | 0.5% total (25K each) | $1,000 each | $625,000 each | 625x |
| Honorary Founders (3) | 0.09% total (150K each) | $0 (contribution-based) | $3,750,000 each | ∞ |
| Total | 18.59% | $700,000 | $2.32B | - |

Investment Rationale & Industry Benchmarks
Founder economics reflect real contributions, industry benchmarks, and aligned incentives. Every number is defensible.
Principal Founder Investment: $250,000 (Sweat Equity - Not Cash)
The principal founder has invested 4 years of full-time development. This is sweat equity valuation, not cash contribution.
- 23,360 hours (16 hours/day × 7 days/week × 52 weeks/year × 4 years)
- Complete platform build: 8-disease architecture, 116 language framework, tokenomics model, consent/NDA systems, beta infrastructure
- Pre-ICO infrastructure: Legal framework, trademark portfolio (CareHub, CareToken, ProviderConnect), HIPAA compliance architecture
- Personal sacrifice: Hospitalisations, homelessness, all-in commitment to mission
Real-World Development Cost: $2-4M+
What a team would cost to build this:
| Role | Cost (3-4 years) |
|---|---|
| 2-3 Full-Stack Developers × $150K/yr | $1.2-1.8M |
| Product Manager | $500K |
| UX/Design | $400K |
| Medical/Clinical Consultant | $300K |
| Legal (HIPAA, international, NDAs) | $200K+ |
| Infrastructure, Hosting, APIs | $100K+ |
| 116 Language Localization | $250K+ |
| Tokenomics Design (specialists) | $100K+ |
| Conservative Total | $3-4M |
| Realistic (with overhead, benefits, tools) | $5-8M |
Positioned conservatively at $250K to reflect sweat equity while remaining credible to outside investors. The discount reflects founder risk-taking, not undervaluation of work performed.
Co-Founder Investment: $50,000 for 2%
Fair market rate for seed-stage equity:
- Cost per 1%: $25,000
- Implied pre-money valuation: $2.5M
- Industry benchmark: Seed rounds typically price at $15K-$50K per 1%
Industry Comparisons
| Company | Early Investment | Equity | Cost per 1% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Y Combinator (Classic) | $125K | 7% | $18K |
| Airbnb (Sequoia Seed) | $600K | 15% | $40K |
| Uber (First Angels) | $200K | 10% | $20K |
| Apple (Markkula, 1977) | $250K | 33% | $7.5K |
| CareHub Co-Founders | $50K | 2% | $25K |
Verdict: $50K for 2% sits in the middle of seed-stage range - fair market rate, not discounted, not premium.
Founding Council: 100 Members x $1,000
A unique governance innovation. Not a DAO, but structured community participation:
- Advisory voting rights on community-facing decisions (feature prioritization, language expansion, award categories)
- NOT voting on: Token economics, IPO timing, executive compensation (Core Founders only)
- Diverse representation required: Geographic, disease community, role (patient/caregiver/HCP)
- Advantage over DAO: Curated mission-aligned members, equal voice (1 member = 1 vote), accountability through named profiles
Founding Council: Eligibility & Anti-Concentration Controls
The Founding Council is an application plus invitation with $1K contribution, not a purchase. Controls prevent concentration:
- One Person = One Seat: KYC verification required, max 2 seats per household
- Eligibility: Must be verified patient, caregiver, or HCP in one of the 8 disease communities
- Diversity Quotas: Max 10 from any single country, max 20 from any single disease community
- Role Balance: Patients, caregivers, and HCPs must all be represented
- Anti-Gaming: Referral from existing community member required; lottery selection if oversubscribed
- Clawback: Proxy buyers forfeit tokens; vesting schedule applies
Total Founder Raise: $700,000
Allocated to the initial 12-month operating plan from July 2026 through June 2027 - platform development, legal/compliance, trademark portfolio, beta operations, and ICO preparation. Founder raise runs alongside ICO workstreams; ICO launch does not wait on every founder seat being filled.
Corporate Structure: Delaware Public Benefit Corporation
CareHub will incorporate as a Delaware Public Benefit Corporation (PBC), legally enshrining our patient-first mission while enabling venture-scale returns. This is not a nonprofit. It's a new model of philanthropic capitalism.
Why B Corp / PBC Structure?
- Mission Lock: Legally prevents future leadership from abandoning social purpose for pure profit
- Stakeholder Governance: Must consider patients, caregivers, community - not just shareholders
- Hostile Takeover Protection: Mission-gutting acquisitions legally restricted
- Investor Signaling: Impact investors prefer B Corps; differentiates from "pump and dump" projects
- Regulatory Credibility: SEC views PBCs more favorably; strengthens "utility token" argument
B Corp vs. Benefit Corporation (PBC)
| B Corp Certification | Benefit Corporation (PBC) | |
|---|---|---|
| What | Certification from B Lab | Legal entity type |
| Cost | $1K–$50K/year (revenue-based) | One-time filing fee |
| Requirement | Pass B Impact Assessment | State incorporation |
| Timeline | Requires 12 months operational data | Immediate at incorporation |
Our approach: Incorporate as Delaware PBC immediately, pursue B Corp certification post-ICO once operational data available.
Public Benefit Statement
General Public Benefit: "Improving health outcomes for patients with serious chronic diseases"
Specific Benefit: "Providing equitable access to health resources, community support, and local navigation to aid programs - without offering direct financial assistance - so patients are supported regardless of geography or economic status"
Corporate Evolution Timeline
| Phase | Structure | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| July 2026 to ICO | Delaware PBC | Mission lock, founder agreements, seed raise |
| Post-ICO | PBC + B Corp Certification | Third-party validation, impact reporting |
| Pre-IPO | PBC maintained OR dual-class structure | Preserve mission through public markets |
Tiered Founder Model vs. DAO
We deliberately chose a tiered founder structure with Founding Council over a pure DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization).
| Aspect | Pure DAO | CareHub Tiered Model |
|---|---|---|
| Voting Power | Token-weighted (whales dominate) | Role-based + quadratic voting (balanced) |
| Membership | Anonymous, anyone can buy in | Curated, mission-aligned, KYC verified |
| Accountability | Pseudonymous (hard to enforce) | Named profiles, legal agreements |
| Decision Speed | Slow (every decision = proposal) | Fast execution, strategic oversight |
| Hostile Takeover | Vulnerable (51% attack possible) | Protected (PBC + curated membership) |
| Regulatory Risk | High (SEC scrutiny, unclear status) | Lower (traditional corp + token utility) |
| Mission Drift | Common (profit voters outnumber mission) | Prevented (PBC legal requirement) |
| IPO Path | Nearly impossible (no legal entity) | Clear path to NYSE listing |
The DAO Problem
Most healthcare DAOs fail because:
- Whale dominance: A single investor buying 10% of tokens controls governance, the opposite of democratic healthcare
- Voter apathy: Typical DAO participation is 5-15%; decisions made by tiny minorities
- No legal recourse: When things go wrong, there's no entity to sue, no fiduciary duty
- Mission capture: Profit-motivated voters eventually override patient-focused decisions
- Regulatory uncertainty: SEC increasingly views DAO tokens as unregistered securities
Hybrid Solution: Best of Both Worlds
CareHub combines traditional corporate accountability with community participation:
- Core Founders (8): Strategic decisions, fiduciary duty, legal accountability, vesting schedules
- Founding Council (100): Advisory voting on community-facing decisions, diversity requirements, curated membership
- Token Holders: Utility access, potential appreciation, but NOT governance control over core operations
Result: Patients get community voice without whale capture. Founders get execution speed without mission drift. Investors get legal clarity without regulatory risk.
Governance Decision Matrix
| Decision Type | Core Founders | Founding Council | Token Holders |
|---|---|---|---|
| Token economics changes | ✅ Vote | ❌ | ❌ |
| IPO timing & structure | ✅ Vote | ❌ | ❌ |
| Executive compensation | ✅ Vote | ❌ | ❌ |
| Feature prioritization | Final approval | ✅ Advisory vote | Feedback |
| Language expansion order | Final approval | ✅ Advisory vote | Feedback |
| Award categories | Final approval | ✅ Advisory vote | Nominations |
| Disease community priorities | Final approval | ✅ Advisory vote | Input |
The B Corp + Tiered Founder Structure creates unprecedented alignment: legally bound to patient mission, transparent governance through Founding Council, and venture-scale returns for founders who believe healthcare should serve patients first.
Expertise We're Seeking
We're actively recruiting co-founders with expertise across these critical domains:
Building the foundation of our decentralized ecosystem
Oncologists, Nurses, Medical Professionals bringing clinical insights
Global Campaign Strategists reaching millions worldwide
Hospital Network Builders creating strategic connections
Advisors with relevant expertise in compliance and growth
Cancer Survivors and Caregivers sharing lived experiences
Founder Commitment to Transparency
Transparency builds trust. We'll share anonymized founder profiles and wallet addresses publicly. Principal founder ($250K), co-founders ($50K each), and Founding Council members ($1K each) contributions will be showcased in multilingual AMAs, inspiring devs and communities alike. Formal agreements ensure everyone is united in building the world's first multi-disease health platform.
Succession Planning & Long-Term Vision
CareHub is designed to outlive its founders. While the Principal Founder's personal battle with cancer catalyzed this movement, the platform's architecture and governance model ensure sustainable leadership beyond any individual.
Principal Founder's Vision: Technology-Driven Evolution
Our founding CEO envisions an app architecture that evolves alongside technological advancement. As AI, blockchain scalability, and interoperability mature, CareHub will integrate cutting-edge innovations - from predictive health analytics to seamless cross-chain functionality - ensuring the platform remains at the forefront of patient-centered care for decades to come.
The succession framework leverages each founder's unique strengths to create redundancy and continuity. Technical founders will mentor next-generation blockchain developers. Healthcare founders will establish clinical advisory boards. Marketing and partnership founders will build institutional relationships that transcend individual involvement.
Death & Incapacity Provisions
Formal founder agreements include comprehensive provisions for death or incapacity:
| Tier | Vested Tokens | Unvested Tokens | Voting Rights |
|---|---|---|---|
| Principal Founder | Transfer to estate/beneficiary | Return to founder pool; triggers succession protocol | Non-transferable (expire) |
| Co-Founders | Transfer to estate/beneficiary | Return to founder pool for reallocation | Non-transferable (expire) |
| Founding Council | Transfer to estate/beneficiary | N/A (fully vested) | Non-transferable; seat filled from waitlist |
Standard Protections (All Tiers)
- Beneficiary Designation Form: Required at onboarding
- Right of First Refusal: Company can buy back tokens from estate at fair market value before external sale
- Drag-Along Rights: Estate must participate in approved company transactions
- No Zombie Seats: Governance/voting rights expire on death (tokens stay, votes don't)
- 12-Month Acceleration Option: Co-founders may have partial vesting acceleration on death (board discretion)
Incapacity (Not Death)
- Power of Attorney designation required at onboarding
- 6-month incapacity triggers unvested token review by board
- Board can vote to accelerate or terminate vesting based on circumstances
- Key person insurance recommended for Principal Founder ($5-10M policy)
Distributed Leadership Model
We're building a distributed leadership ecosystem where each founder's expertise creates an independent pillar of organizational strength:
- Technical Founders: Establishing open-source protocols and developer communities that ensure platform continuity
- Clinical Founders: Creating evidence-based care frameworks that institutionalize best practices
- Community Founders: Building patient advocacy networks that self-organize and scale organically
- Strategic Founders: Developing partnership ecosystems with hospitals, research institutions, and healthcare systems worldwide
This approach ensures that if any founder needs to step back (due to health, personal circumstances, or natural transition), the organization maintains momentum. The blockchain's immutable record of governance decisions and decentralized governance structure enables community-driven evolution, with founders transitioning from operators to advisors as the platform matures.
Legacy Beyond Individual Contribution
Each founder's unique qualities (technical brilliance, clinical insight, lived experience as a patient, or strategic vision) are being systematically documented, replicated through training programs, and embedded into organizational processes. This knowledge transfer ensures CareHub becomes an institution, not a startup.
As we refine this succession framework, founders will collaborate to identify gaps, establish mentorship pathways, and create governance mechanisms that balance innovation with stability. The goal: ensure every patient for generations to come has access to the support system we're building today.
