What the $25 buys

Four things. Each one alone is worth the dues.

01 · Carry it

The card

Your digital membership card, honored for member pricing at every business in the network. Businesses display it; members spend where members are.

02 · Use it

The directory

Find, hire, and buy from member professionals and businesses. Every member is a listing from day one; your onboarding is the directory.

03 · Know it

The scorecard

The TUEPAC Index grades banks, employers, and brands on what they deliver for the community. Public headline, member-only detail.

OperationsVentures · the FundEndowment · permanent

The rule that moves the bars: every dollar partners, advertisers, and employers pay the coalition displaces operations' share of dues. Commerce funds the machine so dues fund the mission. The endowment is permanent · it is never spent, only its returns are · and it began with the founding class.

How we get there from zero

The network starts with the people in it.

No waiting for scale. Each step below works at the size we are, and each one makes the next cheaper.

Step 01
The founding classThe first 1,000 members get a permanent number, locked pricing, and their name on the charter. Being early is the benefit.
Now
Step 02
Members are the first benefitEvery business member offers one perk to the network as part of joining. Ten businesses in, the benefits catalog exists.
Now
Step 03
Density before distanceWe win one metro at a time, starting with Charlotte. A directory with 200 members in one city beats 2,000 scattered nationwide.
City by city
Step 04
The Index needs research, not scaleEdition one is built from public data: lending records, supplier programs, workforce filings. It earns press and trust before we're big.
In the works
Step 05
Anchor partners buy accessBanks and credit unions already pay to acquire customers. A deposit bonus for TUEPAC members costs them less than ads and gives us benefit number one.
In talks
Step 06
The Fund is the proofEvery venture we open, members shopped it first, staffed it, and got presale pricing. Each raise recruits the next thousand members.
