Our pledge
10% of every dollar we earn goes to education and AI access.
Off revenue, not profit. From the first dollar, in good months and bad. RigSpark is bootstrapped, so there are no investors to ask.
The promise, in three lines
Of revenue, not profit
Profit can be made to disappear. Revenue can’t. Ten cents of every dollar a customer pays is set aside before anything else.
From the first dollar
Not “once we’re big”. It starts with the first paid plan, and it is paid in loss-making months too.
Investors to ask
RigSpark is bootstrapped: customers fund every step. Nobody can trade the pledge away in a funding round.
What it funds
Education
Helping people learn, including learning to build with AI.
AI access
Putting capable AI in the hands of people who couldn’t otherwise reach it.
Partners and programmes will be listed here as they are chosen.

Plain arithmetic: 10% of whatever RigSpark earns in a year.
| When RigSpark earns a year | The pledge gives a year |
|---|---|
| $100K | $10K |

| $100M | $10M |
| $1B | $100M |
Questions
Why revenue and not profit?
A young company rarely shows a profit, so a profit pledge can mean nothing for years. Revenue is real from the first sale, so the pledge is too.
Does it cost me anything extra?
No. Prices are the same; the 10% comes out of what RigSpark earns, not on top of what you pay.

Yes. Write to [email protected].
