ZiWe/Vince Staples Pitch: Final Version

“I will not offer that which costs me nothing.” — King David (2 Samuel 24:24)

The King David Principle

King David was offered free oxen and wood for a sacrifice. He refused, saying “I will not offer that which costs me nothing.”

We apply this to our sponsor offering:

• We won’t give “2x bonuses” that are marketing gimmicks
• We won’t promise things we can’t deliver
• We give REAL value that costs us REAL platform resources

What You Actually Get (5K Sponsorship)

Total immediate value: 15,000 dollars equivalent in platform currency + IP license + recognition

Can We Quote Future Value?

YES — as equivalent, not guarantee.

Correct Language

“Your 5,000 Joules currently access 5,000 dollars worth of platform services.

If the platform economy grows by 50%, your Joules would access the equivalent of 7,500 dollars in services at that time.

Your 5,000 Joule Options, if converted after 50% growth, would also access the equivalent of 7,500 dollars in services.

Total potential: 15,000 dollars equivalent service access from a 5,000 dollars sponsorship.”

Why This Is SEC Compliant

• Joules are service credits, not securities
• We’re quoting service value, not profit
• We’re using conditional language (“if growth is…”)
• We’re not promising cash returns

The ZiWe Pitch Letter (Draft)

Subject: From a viewer, with a strange but specific request

Dear ZiWe,

My daughter showed me your Vince Staples episode. I laughed, I thought, and now I’m reaching out with something unusual.

I’ve built a community-owned platform called Liana Banyan — sixteen charitable initiatives designed to sustain themselves. I’m not asking for charity. I’m offering you a genuine value exchange.

What I’m asking: Become what we call a “Linchpin Influencer.”

What that means:

1. 5,000 dollars sponsorship — which gives you:

   • 5,000 Joules (locked-rate service credits — like Forever Stamps)
   • 5,000 Joule Options (convert to active Joules whenever you want)
   • 50 medallions to distribute to whoever you choose
   • A perpetual license to use innovations from our utility patent portfolio

2. One introduction — Would you be willing to share this with Vince Staples?

Why I’m not asking for free:

“I will not offer that which costs me nothing.” — King David

I’m using half my family’s emergency savings to launch this. I’m not asking you to do something I wouldn’t do. I’m asking you to join me in building something real.

What the Joules are worth:

Today: 5,000 Joules = 5,000 dollars of platform services If we grow 50%: 5,000 Joules = 7,500 dollars equivalent of services If we grow 100%: 5,000 Joules = 10,000 dollars equivalent of services

The Joule Options let you wait and see. Convert them when you’re ready.

Why this isn’t MLM:

You get rewarded for direct connections only. If you bring Vince, you get a bonus. If Vince brings someone, HE gets a bonus — you don’t. No downline. No pyramid. Just direct action, direct reward.

The reading list:

If you want to understand what you’d be connecting people to:

• The Opening Gambit — Our entire strategy, published before we execute
• Designed for Efficiency — How we create value without gimmicks
• Core Philosophy — No VC. No safety net. All in.

If you become a Linchpin:

With shared purpose,

P.S. I have two suits.

Option B: ZiWe as Full Linchpin (Without Vince Ask)

If we remove the Vince connection request, the pitch becomes:

“Become a Linchpin. Distribute your 50 medallions to whoever deserves a chance. Watch them build. Earn Joule Options for each one who joins. No pressure to connect anyone specific — just give opportunities to people you think deserve them.”

This is less strategic but more open.

Vince Staples Direct Pitch (If ZiWe Connects)

If ZiWe makes the connection:

“Vince — ZiWe passed this along. I’m building a community platform. No pitch beyond this: read the docs, ask questions, decide if it’s worth 5,000 dollars of your time. If so, you get the same deal ZiWe got. If not, no hard feelings. The work speaks for itself.”

International Value Equivalents
