THE HOOK

You design it. We manufacture it. You keep 83%.

That’s Liana Banyan.

We’re not a store. We’re not a marketplace. We’re a manufacturing partner.

You bring the idea. We bring it to life.

WHAT IS LIANA BANYAN?

Liana Banyan is a design-to-doorstep manufacturing platform.

For Creators:

1. Design your product
2. Upload to our platform
3. When demand reaches threshold, we manufacture
4. We handle production, fulfillment, shipping
5. You keep 83%+ of every sale

For Backers:

1. Discover creator products
2. Support what you want made
3. Products ship when manufactured
4. Know the creator got fairly paid

WE MAKE THINGS WHEN PEOPLE WANT THEM

Traditional manufacturing requires:

• Huge upfront investment
• Minimum order quantities
• Warehouse storage
• Fulfillment logistics
• Shipping nightmares

Most creators can’t afford that. So their ideas stay ideas.

Liana Banyan changes that.

We aggregate demand. When enough people want something, we make it. The creator focuses on creating. We focus on manufacturing.

PROOF IT WORKS: HEXISLE

We’re not just talking about manufacturing. We’re doing it.

HexIsle — our modular hydraulic game system — is the first product manufactured through Liana Banyan.

These campaigns ARE the proof. We’re manufacturing our own products through the system you’ll use for yours.

WHAT YOU GET

Every backer receives a Founding Member Medallion — a physical coaster proving you were here from the beginning.

What it is:

• 3D-printed commemorative coaster

• Unique serial number
• QR code linking to your member profile

THE $1,000 PROMISE

Back at Founder’s Circle level and your ideas get made.

We’ll work with you to:

1. Refine your designs
2. Create production-ready files
3. Run manufacturing
4. Handle fulfillment
5. Get your product to customers

You keep 83%+ of every sale after that.

This is what the platform does. You get first access.

WHY 83%?

We’re not trying to extract maximum value. We’re trying to make things.

NOT COMPETING WITH KICKSTARTER

Let’s be clear:

Kickstarter = Crowdfunding (raise money for ideas) Liana Banyan = Manufacturing (turn ideas into products)

We’re what happens AFTER the Kickstarter.

You’ve funded your project. Now you need someone to actually make it, ship it, handle returns, manage inventory.

That’s us.

Or skip Kickstarter entirely — upload your design, let demand build, we manufacture when ready.

PART OF THE HEXISLE UNIVERSE

Liana Banyan manufactures the entire HexIsle ecosystem:

These products prove the system works.

THE TEAM

Jonathan Jones, Founder

• 9 years building this platform
• 53 documented innovations
• 2 provisional patent applications (205 claims)
• Army veteran, father of 5
• Building from his garage

The Philosophy: Creators deserve to keep most of what they earn. Manufacturing shouldn’t require being rich. Good ideas should become real products.

TIMELINE

RISKS AND CHALLENGES

Platform Development: The core platform works. Kickstarter funds scaling and security audits.

Manufacturing Capacity: We’re starting with 3D printing and expanding. Complex products may take longer initially.

Creator Demand: The platform works when creators use it. We’re bootstrapping with HexIsle to prove the model.

FAQ

Q: Is this like Etsy or Amazon? A: No. Those are marketplaces where you sell finished products. We manufacture your designs. You don’t need inventory, equipment, or fulfillment capability.

Q: What can I manufacture? A: Anything we can produce — starting with 3D printed products, expanding to other methods. Games, accessories, tools, art, household items.

Q: How do I know my design is protected? A: Your designs remain YOUR intellectual property. We’re a manufacturing partner, not an owner.

Q: What if nobody wants my product? A: Then it doesn’t get manufactured (no cost to you). When demand reaches threshold, production begins.

Q: Is this cryptocurrency or blockchain? A: No. The medallion is a physical coaster with a QR code linking to your profile — like a library card or gym membership.

Q: Am I investing in your company? A: No. This is a Kickstarter reward campaign. You’re pre-ordering a product (medallion) and supporting platform development.

CLOSING

I built HexIsle over nine years. Figured out the manufacturing. Figured out the fulfillment.

Then I thought: why should I be the only one?

If I can manufacture my ideas, you should be able to manufacture yours. Same system. Same quality. Same fair split.

You design it. We manufacture it. You keep 83%.

That’s Liana Banyan.

We’re building the ship. Join the crew.
