Investor overview

How The RSE works — and how it earns

Revenue follows density: take-rate, seats, hardware, attention, franchises, Hyperion fees, insurance, design. Seat and equity dollars participate in the Hyperion Fund. Permanent capital; preferred rights that deepen with the network.

What the exchange does

Demand submits a bid on the website (job, price, location). Supply grabs the job at rse-api.com (POST /grab_job). Both sides sign the job (POST /sign_job). Settlement stays between the parties. Seats gate grab access when verification is on. Campaigns cover bulk demand; job parties cover multi-agent work. Website for people; API for machines.

Eight revenue streams

Eight streams. Seat issuance is the bulk of modeled revenue (base peak near $50T in 2035 at $100k × 500M new seats). Figures follow the Projections dials.

1. Exchange take-rate

Revenue = GMV × take-rate
GMV = dollar value of robot labor jobs cleared on the exchange

Platform fee on transaction volume once payments and escrow are on-platform. Dials set 2040 GMV and take-rate; each chart bar is GMV × take-rate for that year.

GMV · 2040 (dial)
—
Take-rate (dial)

Revenue · 2040

Platform revenue from take-rate ($ / year)

Each bar = that year’s GMV × take-rate. Not GMV itself.

Underlying GMV (jobs cleared, $ / year)

Context only — GMV is the base the take-rate applies to. Platform keeps the take-rate bar above, not full GMV.

2. Seat sales

Revenue = new seats sold × seat price
Seats are eternal · primary issuance ramps then plateaus (not recurring rent)

One-time supply access (Exchange registry when verification is on). 1M founding tranche includes Golden Seats held by early seat buyers. Same dollars participate in the Hyperion Fund.

3. Hardware affiliate & financing

Revenue ≈ robots referred × ($25k ASP × 3% + expected finance fee)
Expected finance fee / robot = 40% attach × 1.5% × $25k ASP · from Buy a Robot

Commission when buyers purchase robots through the catalog, plus referral fees when they take financing. Scales with network density.

Rev / robot (fixed model)

Hardware affiliate + financing revenue ($ / year)

Each bar = annual platform cut from robot sales + financing referrals (network-scaled unit volume).

4. /nearby & attention

Revenue = ad / placement spend on discovery surfaces
/nearby, sponsored categories, franchise badges, boosts · plus demand-side attention (service discovery, autobidding, multi-party bid discovery)

Two-sided placement: supply pays for charge, repair, parts, and next-job discovery; demand pays for service discovery, autobidding, and bid ranking.

Nearby / attention revenue ($ / year)

Each bar = annual ad-like revenue from supply- and demand-side attention. Scales with the network dial (more density → more discovery / bid / nearby queries → more spend).

5. Franchising — Garage & Lighthouse

Revenue = new franchise fees + royalties on active sites
Two brands, one stream in the model

Franchise fees + royalties ($ / year)

Each bar = fees from new openings that year + royalties from sites still open (new sites open fully; 95% of the prior active base remains each year). Network scale multiplies openings.

6. The Hyperion Fund

Full Hyperion description →

Platform revenue ≈ 2.8% × AUM
1% annual management + 15% of ~12% gross performance · only earned money is transferable out

Seat or equity purchase = Hyperion participation at the same dollars. Chart bars are platform fees (~2.8% of AUM), not Fund AUM or participant returns.

One check, two claims Seat or equity purchase price = Hyperion participation basis. Same dollars.
Annual management fee 1% of AUM plus performance participation. Modeled combined take ≈ 2.8%.
Principal stays in Initial purchase price is not transferable out. Only earned profits may leave the Fund.
What it buys Remnant real estate (franchise + O&O), robot-advantaged SMBs, plus stocks, crypto, bonds, emerging assets.

How participation works

Purchase books the security and a matching Hyperion NAV. Stream 06 is the exchange’s fee. Principal stays in; only earned profits may transfer out. See the Hyperion page and the business plan (p. 3).

Mandate

Own physical demand at remnant or value prices. Attach matching, design, franchises, and robot labor. Liquid markets keep unused cash invested.

Real estate — franchise + O&O

STRs, small hospitality, depots, parking. Some become Garage / Lighthouse nodes; some stay owned.

SMBs that get cheaper with robots

Dispatch books, routes, turnover, last-mile, companion care. Fund buys the book; the exchange supplies robots.

First-wave deployment

Sleeve Initial plan Why these
Residential STR ~12 income properties Turnover labor (clean, linen, restock, check-in) is a repeatable hospitality workflow that can later franchise.
Health-aide dispatch ~4 local books Existing schedulers + caregiver networks in Lakewood, Camas, Destin, Missoula, Austin, Boulder, and similar markets. Robot-enable non-clinical load first.
Cybercab ground Depots, lots, dispatch books Parking, overnight storage, Lighthouse charging, Garage MRO, and local ride books — the ground, not the OEM.
Trash collection Local hauler books HOA / commercial / subscription routes whose weekly windows become seated robot jobs with GPS / photo proof of empty carts.
Liquid + emerging Residual AUM Stocks, crypto, bonds, and emerging assets until real-asset deals close; then rebalance in.

Counts are a first-wave plan, not a commitment to specific addresses. Later waves repeat: buy remnant demand, attach robot services, keep or franchise the playbook.

Robot-enabled use cases

STR · ~12 homes

Short-term rentals

Buy ~12 STRs with occupancy already running. Turn checkout into a job party: clean, linen, restock, inspect. Robots do the repeatable work; humans take exceptions. Franchise once the spec holds.

Aide · ~4 books

Home health-aide dispatch

Buy ~4 aide / companion dispatch books (scheduler, clients, bench) — not hospitals. Markets: Lakewood, Camas, Destin, Missoula, Austin, Boulder. Clinical work stays human; robots take non-clinical load.

Ground + book

Cybercab

Buy parking, livery books, and lots for overnight storage, Lighthouse charging, and Garage MRO. Own the ground and the book, not the vehicles. A ride posts; a seated cab grabs.

Route density

Trash collection

Buy local hauler books. Robots take weekly pickup with GPS / photo proof. Humans cover hazards and disputes. O&O first; franchise when the spec repeats.

Flywheel: buy remnant demand → design jobs → seats fill them. Other streams fire on the same volume. Asset income stays in the Fund. The exchange earns fees, not the buildings or books.

7. Insurance & SLA

Revenue ≈ GMV × 25% institutional × 1.8% premium × 15% platform cut
Rougher than the first six — a planning overlay, not a priced book

Platform cut of attached premium on institutional GMV. First-cut overlay; moves with the GMV dial.

Insurance & SLA platform revenue ($ / year)

Each bar = GMV × 0.25 × 0.018 × 0.15. Scales with the 2040 GMV dial. Not a licensed insurance product.

8. Design services

Revenue = network-scaled design / integration services
Task, workflow, multi-agent job-party, and capability-package design · rougher path

Paid specs, repeatable jobs, job parties, and integration packages. First-cut overlay; network scale multiplies it.

Design services revenue ($ / year)

Each bar = base design-capacity curve × network scale. Planning overlay — not a booked backlog.

9. Cost structure by stream

Profit = stream revenue − (cost % × revenue). Cost ratios fall as fixed platform spend is amortized across growing volume. Combined P&L is in the projections charts below.

Stream Primary cost drivers Early (2026) Mature (2040+)
Exchange take-rate Cloud matching, support, disputes, insurance partners, compliance 35% of rev 12% of rev
Seat sales $ / new seat (KYC, legal, chain) + thin channel % of seat price $100 + 1.0% $25 + 0.25%
Hardware aff + fin Catalog, partner management, financing handoff 25% 12%
/nearby & ads Ad product eng, sales, moderation, brand safety 45% 28%
Franchising Training, field support, supply co-op, brand marketing 55% 35%
Hyperion Fund Compliance, risk, execution, research, real-asset & SMB underwriting 50% 30%
Insurance & SLA Partner origination, claims desk, compliance (rougher) 40% 22%
Design services Specialist labor, playbooks, integration (rougher) 55% 32%

Cost ratios interpolate linearly from 2026 early rates to 2040 mature rates, then hold. Seat cost is $ per new seat plus a thin % of seat revenue — not a fat % of the $100k price.

Cap table explorer

Build an illustrative syndicate from ~35 financially non-overlapping potential participants (strategics, tier-1 VCs, growth funds, sovereigns, and family offices). Select any combination of 1–30 names, then run the synergy tool for recommended equity split and valuation under conservative, base, and aggressive cases.

Valuations are a DCF of the same 15-year projection curves used above (all eight streams)—not a seed-stage rule of thumb. Cap-table makeup sets a risk premium per revenue stream (e.g. NVIDIA/Unitree de-risk hardware; a16z/Sequoia de-risk marketplace take-rate; sovereigns/BlackRock de-risk Hyperion). Live scenario dials under Projections are sent for the focus scenario when you run the tool.

Scenario planning only — not an offer, solicitation, or indication of interest from any named party. No commitment is implied. Not financial or legal advice.
