Founder program

Lumavel Founder Program

Open from the shop dashboard: Founder Program in the top navigation. Public overview: Founder Program tiers.

Tiers (highest to lowest)

| Tier | Price | In one sentence | |------|-------|-----------------| | Founding Patron | $249.99 lifetime | Software included · strategic product direction · choose community missions | | Founding Steward | $99.99 lifetime | 50% off software · feature prioritization · endorse community projects | | Founding Partner | $49.99 lifetime | Locked 1.5% Plaza fee · final product priorities |

Governance (not gatekeeping)

Everyone can suggest ideas. Founders refine. Patrons and Ambassadors choose community missions.

Product voting: Patrons → strategic direction · Stewards → prioritization · Partners → final Plaza/tool priorities.

Community Project Pipeline: Patrons + Ambassadors → final vote and resources · Partners & Stewards → endorse and shape scope · Anyone → suggest and discuss.

See Town Hall for referral ranks (Citizen → Ambassador). Ambassadors share final community-project votes with Patrons.

Discord: proposals and discussion happen in The Lumavel Shopping Plaza server. Town Hall ranks auto-sync after you connect Discord on /refer. Founder tier roles in Discord are manual until DISCORD_ROLE_FOUNDING_* IDs are configured under the bot.

Launch checklist

Founding Partner status does not skip shop setup, five listings, Stripe (unless Lumavel-managed), or the one-live-product directory rule. See dashboard Launch checklist.
