//Equity
Don’t just work on projects. Own a piece of what you create.
(Launching Late 2026)
At //adapt, we believe creative professionals deserve more than short-term contracts and day rates.
Great ideas generate long-term value — and the people who help bring those ideas to life should share in that value.
//adaptEQUITY is our framework for turning contribution into ownership.
It allows members to earn not only income, but equity, revenue participation, and long-term upside in the intellectual properties they help build.
Why Equity?
Traditional work pays once.
Ownership pays for years.
Most creatives:
deliver amazing work
help launch successful films, games, or series
then move on with no stake in the success
Meanwhile, the IP continues generating revenue.
We think that should change.
How it works
1. Community Reinvestment
At least 1% of //adaptONE’s revenues are reinvested directly into our community to help fund independent animation, film, and game projects.
These funds support:
early-stage concepts
prototypes
pilot productions
creator-led IPs
2. Contribute for Ownership
When joining eligible projects, members can choose how they want to participate:
Full rate (standard pay)
Discounted rate + equity
Equity-only (optional, for early/high-upside projects)
In short:
Trade some short-term pay for long-term ownership — if you choose.
Every contribution is tracked transparently through the platform.
3. Transparent Tracking
Our system records:
time contributed
deliverables
role and responsibility
agreed compensation structure
This ensures:
fair equity allocation
clear contracts
clean revenue distribution
No handshake deals. No ambiguity.
4. From Creation to Market
Projects developed through //adapt can then be:
pitched to studios
presented to distributors
introduced to investors
or produced independently
When a project succeeds, participating members receive their agreed share of revenues or equity returns.
Who is it for?
//EQUITY is ideal for:
Creators developing original IP
Freelancers who want upside beyond hourly pay
Indie studios and producers needing top talent
Teams building pilots, games, shorts, or proof-of-concepts
It bridges the gap between freelance work and entrepreneurship.
The Bigger Vision
Our mission isn’t just to help members find jobs.
It’s to help them:
build careers
build portfolios
build networks
and build ownership
