Revolutionizing business growth with MEEK

Introduction to the MEEK funding model

Starting a business has never been easier in terms of tools. Shopify, Stripe, AI assistants, no-code platforms—the infrastructure exists for anyone to build. But funding remains gatekept. VCs only care about scalable tech plays. Banks require assets most people don't have. The 99% is locked out of capital despite having ideas, skills, and willingness to work. MEEK changes that equation.

Why traditional funding fails the 99%

Venture capital isn't designed for normal businesses. VCs need 100x returns to make their model work, so they only fund moonshots. That excludes profitable, sustainable businesses that could support families and communities. Banks want collateral and credit history—requirements that systematically exclude those who haven't already accumulated wealth. The funding system is built for the already-wealthy.

• VCs reject 99% of pitches and only fund potential unicorns.
• Bank loans require collateral most aspiring entrepreneurs don't have.
• Friends and family funding is limited by your network's existing wealth.
• Bootstrapping works but limits growth speed and opportunity capture.

MEEK introduces a new model: community treasury funding. You pitch to holders, not VCs. Evaluation is based on viability and alignment, not billion-dollar potential. If approved, you get capital and support. In return, profits flow back to the treasury. It's not charity, it's aligned incentives. When you win, the community wins. When the community wins, you win again.

How MEEK funding actually works

The process is straightforward. Submit your business proposal through our channels. Proposal reviewers evaluate it against established criteria. If it passes initial review, it goes to the governance council. If approved, treasury capital deploys. You build the business with MEEK support. As profits generate, an agreed percentage returns through buybacks. The flywheel continues.

“I pitched to 30 VCs and got rejected for not being 'venture scale.' MEEK funded me because they understood that a profitable business supporting real customers is exactly what the 99% needs."

The key difference is alignment. VCs pressure you to grow unsustainably, burn cash, and swing for exits. MEEK wants sustainable profitability. We want businesses that work, not businesses that look impressive before they fail. This changes everything about how you can operate.

What MEEK looks for in ventures

Not every idea gets funded. MEEK evaluates proposals on clear criteria: Is the business model viable? Does the team have the skills to execute? Is there alignment with community values? Can this generate returns that strengthen the treasury? We're not looking for the next tech unicorn. We're looking for real businesses with real paths to profitability.

• Clear business model with identifiable path to revenue.
• Founder or team capability to execute the plan.
• Alignment with MEEK values—building for the 99%, not extracting from them.
• Return potential that makes the deployment worthwhile for the treasury.

The support beyond capital

Money is necessary but not sufficient. MEEK-funded ventures also get community support—marketing through our channels, network connections, operational guidance from experienced members. This ecosystem support often matters more than the capital itself. You're not building alone. You're building with a community that wants you to succeed.

From funded venture to community proof

Every successful MEEK-funded business is proof that the model works. Proof attracts more capital. More capital funds more ventures. More ventures generate more returns. The flywheel accelerates. Your business isn't just your success—it's evidence that community funding can compete with traditional models. You become part of something larger than yourself.
