Founding Patrons
Some designs don’t need a committee. They need a few people who want to see them made.
Deepening a design, cutting the tooling and paying for a first run all cost real money — so we publish new designs before they exist, and open them to founding patrons.
How it works
-
1
A new design goes up
Artwork, palette and tile list — published before anything is in production.
-
2
You back it
You pledge the seed cost for that design: the deeper drawing, the tooling, the first run.
-
3
We build it
Design rounds by email, then tooling, then the first run. Patrons see the proofs first.
-
4
You are repaid per set
Every set sold afterwards returns a fixed royalty until your pledge is returned in full. Patrons also get the first sets, at founder pricing.
What a patron pledge is — and what it is not
Not an investment, a share of ORO, or a stake in the business — a pledge against one design, repaid by a fixed royalty per set sold, and nothing more.
No equity, no dividend, no promised return. If you want the design to exist, this is for you. If you want a return, it is not.
