The operating model behind the invitation.

This page redraws the core contents of the original VP offer into a cleaner founder-style format while keeping the original source page preserved inside the package. The point here is clarity: what the role earns, how the league models its first season, and what the founding structure is trying to become.

Locked economics

The planning model uses clean, explicit numbers. No fog. No placeholder haze.

The founding model intentionally accepts early pressure before ticket revenue, trading cards, and vendor lanes fully offset the initial strain. The structure is built to scale past the baseline rather than stay trapped inside it.
Launch format

Multi-day event structure

  • Tournament days: 3–5 days
  • Press / all-star day: owners game, 3-point contest, skills challenge
  • Finale: championship game
  • Broadcast lane: YouTube + Instagram Live
Long-range direction

Not a one-season ceiling

  • Scale intent: NBA-scale media and brand presence within seven years
  • Expansion: women’s league planned after three seasons
  • Why that matters: the founding roles gain value when the platform compounds
