Invest in Providence.

Providence is raising patient capital to build a private companion, revenue-positive retreats, partner systems, and a practitioner network.

GENII Foundation protects the research, standards, and public-interest infrastructure behind the commercial company.

See the capital strategy

Investment premise

What can be measured can be cultivated. Human presence is both.

Providence begins with skilled human practice. Mentors, peers, practitioners, retreats, and communities create the conditions for deliberate interpersonal practice. Technology gives participants useful perception of the experience they are creating together.

The commercial opportunity sits within that integrated system. GENII holds the research, access programs, standards, and shared infrastructure in permanent mission stewardship. Providence commercializes the products and services that can scale.

Capital strategy

One Mission. Two Paths

Patient investment finances the commercial system and seeks a return. Philanthropy finances research, access, standards, and infrastructure held for public benefit.

01

For the patient impact investor

Finance the commercial system.

Providence's primary initial financing strategy is patient impact investment into the commercial venture, led by values-aligned angels and family offices. It is not pursuing conventional institutional venture capital at this stage.

Initial product

The Providence App is the leading first product: a private, on-device application for post-retreat integration and sustained coherence practice. Retreats, partner systems, and practitioner tools define the commercial scope.

Initial revenue surfaces

  • Companion subscriptions
  • Providence-produced retreats
  • Powered By Providence implementation and licensing
  • Practitioner training, software, and renewals

Intended capital structure

A mission-aligned commercial company in the jurisdiction best suited to its governance and financing. The intended terms combine patient return mechanics with permanent founder and mission-steward authority over any sale, merger, or change of control. Counsel will translate these commitments into the charter, investor rights, and financing documents.

Discuss patient capital
02

For the philanthropic partner

Fund the public-interest foundation.

Charitable capital supports measurable public benefit over the same three to ten year horizon. Its mandate is research, access, standards, education, and shared infrastructure.

What philanthropy can fund

  • Independent scientific research and validation
  • Consent, safety, and data-sovereignty standards
  • Open protocols and public education
  • Founding gatherings and scholarships
  • Reasonable compensation for the charitable team

Fiscal sponsorship during formation

A comprehensive fiscal sponsor can receive eligible gifts, employ the initial charitable team, administer restricted budgets, and hold project assets while GENII prepares its own exemption application.

Governance

Restricted budgets, independent oversight, published evidence thresholds, participant safeguards, and arm's-length agreements with the commercial company preserve charitable purpose.

Discuss philanthropic support

Dual-capital participation

Separate instruments create separate rights.

One partner may support both entities. A charitable gift funds the public-benefit mandate. A separately documented investment funds the commercial company and carries the associated economic rights. The two transactions remain legally and financially distinct.

Commercial system

A private companion with place-based distribution.

Providence combines a trusted individual product with retreats, partner implementations, and practitioner distribution. GENII retains stewardship of the public-interest layer.

First product

Providence App

A private, on-device application using biofeedback and neurofeedback to support personal and interpersonal flourishing, from post-retreat integration to sustained practice.

Partner distribution

Powered By Providence

A licensed system of telemetry, consent, training, and support for retreat centers and intentional communities.

Professional network

Practitioner infrastructure

Training, supervision, software, standards, and referral infrastructure for qualified independent practitioners.

Licensable core

Consent infrastructure

Local processing, multi-person consent, participant-controlled records, and research tooling for intimate group settings.

Physical experience

Retreats validate the product and generate revenue.

Retreats provide a bounded setting for consent, skilled guidance, immediate reflection, and disciplined product research. Every Providence-produced retreat must cover its full delivery cost before companion subscriptions or research support receive credit.

Providence will partner with established venues and intentional communities rather than own land. Each partner retains authority over its place, program, and culture while Providence supplies the technical and practice system.

Complementary Revenue Surfaces

Each surface is a testable economic hypothesis. Expand a row to inspect pricing, operating drivers, contribution economics, the three-year base case, and the evidence required to replace each assumption.

00Combined base casePortfolio and capital requirementIllustrative commercial round$2.5 million

The four revenue surfaces share distribution while retaining distinct unit economics. The base case reaches a modest positive operating result in Year 3 after funding the central product, research, legal, consent, and company operating functions.

Boundary of the model

The model includes earned revenue from the four named surfaces. Charitable gifts and research grants carry separate budgets and governance. The return case depends on products and services, not participant data, workplace deployment, or acquisition proceeds. Taxes and financing costs will follow definitive terms. Surface contribution is not profit. Observed cohorts, signed partner terms, venue quotes, and actual team costs will replace these assumptions as evidence becomes available.

01Recurring individual revenueProvidence AppYear 3 illustrative revenue$2,880,000

An optional subscription for post-retreat integration and sustained coherence practice. The open-source core remains available. Customers pay for the official product, supported experiences, integrations, and premium functions.

Unit model
$24 blended monthly revenue per paying participant
Contribution model
75% after payment, hosting, support, and routine service delivery
Evidence gate
Six-month and twelve-month paid retention

Working assumptions

  • Working price band of $18, $24, or $30 per month, tested before launch
  • Average paid subscribers of 500 in Year 1, 2,500 in Year 2, and 10,000 in Year 3
  • Retreats, practitioners, and licensed partners provide the initial distribution channels
  • Surface contribution reflects direct service delivery; acquisition, product development, and central team costs appear at portfolio level
  • Participant purchases generate revenue; participants retain authority over every use of intimate data

Model sensitivities and failure conditions

  • Six-month and twelve-month retention determine whether post-retreat use is durable.
  • Every $1 of monthly revenue per user changes annual revenue by $120,000 at 10,000 average subscribers.
  • The model assigns no lifetime value until observed retention and acquisition cohorts support it.

02Revenue-positive experienceProvidence-produced retreatsYear 3 illustrative revenue$1,050,000

Five-day, four-night programs produced by Providence at partner venues. Each retreat must cover its full delivery cost without relying on companion revenue, charitable support, or research funding.

Unit model
30 paid-equivalent participants at $3,500 each
Contribution model
$21,000 per retreat on $105,000 of revenue
Evidence gate
Break-even at twenty paid equivalents

Working assumptions

  • $34,500 for venue, lodging, and meals
  • $10,500 for participant technology, payments, and support
  • $15,000 for facilitators and practitioners
  • $10,000 for production, operations, and founder compensation
  • $14,000 for technical support, insurance, legal, administration, and contingency
  • Scholarships are separately funded paid-equivalent seats

Model sensitivities and failure conditions

  • Each paid participant above break-even contributes about $2,000 after variable costs.
  • Every $100 increase in per-participant cost reduces contribution by $3,000 at full occupancy.
  • Quality, consent, and practitioner capacity govern the pace of retreat growth.

Renewal and implementation repeatability

Working assumptions

  • $25,000 discovery and implementation
  • $12,000 training and launch support
  • $18,000 annual system license
  • $30,000 renewal includes license, coaching, updates, and support
  • Three new partners in Year 1, seven in Year 2, and twelve in Year 3
  • Base case models approximately 80% renewal of eligible partners

Model sensitivities and failure conditions

  • Paid discovery must establish willingness to pay before Providence publishes a standard price card.
  • Implementation must become more repeatable with each partner; otherwise margins collapse into consulting economics.
  • Partner licensing requires audit and termination rights because a consent failure can damage the full network.

Participant outcomes and practitioner renewal

Working assumptions

  • First-year value combines live training, supervised practice, certification review, software, and network participation
  • Renewal covers software, continuing supervision, standards, and referral infrastructure
  • Twenty-five new practitioners in Year 1, seventy-five in Year 2, and 175 in Year 3
  • Base case models approximately 80% renewal of eligible practitioners
  • The practitioner network remains independent of workplace and employer deployment

Model sensitivities and failure conditions

  • Certification requires demonstrated competence within an independently governed scope of practice.
  • The $5,500 first-year price requires live mentorship, practicum, technology, and referral value sufficient to justify the premium.
  • Participant outcomes and practitioner renewal govern network growth, not credential volume.

Place-based partnership

Powered By Providence

Providence does not merely measure an individual's regulated state. It creates consent-bound experiences in which people can perceive, practice, and carry forward the quality of presence they build together.

Peak-experience retreat centers

Perceive what happens in the room.

Local signal processing, wearable pairing, multi-person consent, a guide console, shared reflection, and private post-retreat integration extend an existing program without displacing its practitioners.

Partner value
Structured reflection, program learning, and continuity after participants leave.
Proposed revenue
Implementation fees, annual licenses, training, instrumentation, and support.

Long-term intentional communities

Build coherence into the culture.

Voluntary check-ins, group practice, conflict-repair support, shared reflection, and institutional memory give a community better visibility into the culture it creates over time.

Partner value
A voluntary practice layer for governance, belonging, repair, and cultural learning.
Proposed revenue
Paid discovery, implementation, annual licenses, support, and optional research partnerships.

Shared core

  • Local-first telemetry
  • Multi-person consent
  • Participant-controlled records
  • Practitioner support
  • Federated research

Distribution and retention

High-trust acquisition can produce recurring voluntary use.

The venture case depends on a repeatable path from a high-value experience to sustained individual use. Retention, partner renewal, and practitioner productivity must prove that path.

Revenue positive

Providence retreats

Providence prices each program to cover full delivery costs and contribute cash to product development.

Recurring partner revenue

Powered retreats and communities

Operators pay for implementation, licenses, training, instrumentation, coaching, and ongoing support.

Recurring individual revenue

Providence App

Participants may subscribe to supported companion functions for continued practice after a retreat or practitioner engagement.

Patient impact capital is the first fit.

Providence is raising first from values-aligned angels and family offices. Large companion adoption and repeatable partner licensing can create substantial enterprise value. Mission stewards retain exclusive authority over any sale, merger, or change of control.

The software core remains open source. The commercial company earns revenue from the official product, trusted marks, hosted services, integrations, training, and accountable implementation.

Execution sequence

Evidence gates each expansion.

Each product must establish demand, safety, and repeatable delivery before Providence finances the next layer.

  1. 01

    Validate the human model

    Mentor relationships, small gatherings, and facilitated practice establish whether the underlying experience creates value before software enters the system.

  2. 02

    Validate the signal

    Independent research tests whether interpersonal coherence can be measured reliably and reflected without overstating what the signal means.

  3. 03

    Launch the companion

    The on-device companion extends reflection into daily life and establishes the first recurring revenue surface.

  4. 04

    Establish practitioner distribution

    Training, software, supervision, and referral infrastructure connect the product to skilled independent practice.

  5. 05

    License the partner system

    Powered By Providence packages the shared technical and ethical core for retreat centers and intentional communities.

  6. 06

    Pursue frontier research

    Portable relational standing and future currency systems remain long-horizon research, gated by evidence, governance, and demonstrated demand.

Institutional architecture

Mission protection with commercial clarity.

The Foundation protects research, standards, access, and the commons. The commercial company builds products, signs customers, and provides investors a defined economic instrument.
