What is a FanChise?

A FanChise is Goat Pen’s way of growing ideas into profitable IPs with low barriers to entry and more collaboration. It combines the spirit of franchising with open sourcing, decentralization, crowd sourcing, creative commons, forking and forging, and consortium models — without the complicated legal frameworks.

Core Principles

• Low Barrier to Entry

• Decentralized Monetization

• Creative Freedom with Guardrails

  • No implied ownership.

  • Not a licensing agreement.

  • It’s temporary permission that can be denied, revoked and rescinded at any time for any reason or for no reason at all. 

• These are hustles that Goat Pen and the Goat Propulsion Laboratory has developed and decided to share.
• Goat Pen sets and enforces the terms and conditions.
• Because they are owned by Goat Pen, they are more integrated into the platform.
• Goat Pen determines the terms and conditions to become a FanChisee.

• These are hustles developed and shared by the Goat Pen community and FanChise members.
• Because Goat Pen does not own them, platform support is limited to Goat Pen community features.
• The G-Force FanChiser determines the terms and conditions to become a FanChisee.

How to become a G-Force FanChiser FanChisee: 

• Visit the individual Fanchise IP Goat Pen and follow their instructions.
• Goat Pen owned IP’s will usually require a site membership add-on.
• Member owned IP’s will vary in their instructions and requirements.

How to become a G-Force FanChiser:

• Select the G-Force FanChiser membership add-on.
• Pay the non-refundable one-time token application fee which provides a lifetime FanChiser membership. We’re not monetizing you, we’re screening. 
• You will immediately receive a G-Force FanChiser profile label and a listing in the FanChiser directory. 
• You will immediately receive access to the exclusive G-Force FanChiser Goat Pen + Dark to collaborate and network with other FanChisers.
• It’s okay to “Shoot First and Aim Later”. If your FanChise isn’t fully fleshed out, you can use the Goat Pen network to help you dial it in. 
• You can also fund your FanChise with G-Force Launcher or other crowdfunding platforms. 
• When your FanChise is ready, contact Goat Pen to have your IP specific FanChise Pens created.
• Goat Pen members can filter the Goat Pen directory by FanChise type to find you. 
• Create as many IP’s as you want under your G-Force FanChiser membership profile. We’ll give you a Public Goat Pen + Dark for each one. 
• Just like all our G-Force members, Goat Pen will promote you in our posts, podcasts and other content.
