**Status: Available on request.** [Book a call](https://cal.com/adam-bergeman/founder-call) to configure one. CLI support is in development.

A revenue share is a fixed percentage of your sales. You commit to it before the round opens. A smart contract enforces it. Holders receive the value through onchain buybacks of your token.

## Standalone or combined

A revenue share works with **any ownership structure**:

* **On its own**: the token carries the revenue share and nothing else. Your Delaware C-Corp, your cap table, and your IP are not changed. This is the simplest structure on Star.
* **Next to a structure**: a [Bedrock](/founders/ownership), [DAO](/founders/offshore-dao), or [ACE](/founders/ace) launch can commit a revenue share as well.

## Configuration

| Parameter        | Options                                                               |
| ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Share of revenue | A fixed percentage. Set before launch. Not adjustable after launch    |
| Trigger          | Day one, a calendar date, or a revenue milestone (example: \$50K MRR) |
| Delivery         | Onchain buybacks of your token                                        |
| Visibility       | Each execution appears on a public dashboard                          |

## Program design

| Decision    | Options                                              | Note                                                |
| ----------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| Disposition | Burn the bought tokens, or hold them in the treasury | Set per raise                                       |
| Cadence     | Continuous, or batched on a schedule                 | Batched execution reduces price impact per purchase |
| Venue       | The token's own liquidity pool                       | The same pool that the raise seeds                  |

A stronger commitment from day one catalyzes more distribution early. A trigger at a revenue milestone keeps early cash in the company. Both are valid; the market prices the difference.

## How equity investors see it

The revenue share is a fixed, disclosed obligation. Equity investors price it into your valuation, in the same way that they price a licensing fee or a royalty. Nothing else on the cap table changes, and later venture rounds proceed normally.

## Why buybacks

A buyback delivers the same value as a cash distribution, but through the market. Holders see the buy pressure and decide when to sell. Value accrues to the token. No dividend-type payment occurs.
