what you get

Everything in Pro. Forever.

  • — Every feature vev ships, on the Pro tier, for the life of the product.
  • — No annual renewal. No "Founding Plus" upsell later. No carve-outs for "new AI features."
  • — Every major version, free. Every minor version, free. Every patch, free.
  • — One transfer allowed (switch companies, gift it, your call).

why 500

Because 500 is enough to fund the next 18 months, and small enough to mean something.

$199 × 500 = $99,500. That runs one developer (me) and hosting (cheap, because vev runs on your machine, not mine) for the next year and a half. Past that, vev survives on Pro subscriptions and Team seats, or it doesn't.

If it doesn't, you still have the binary. That's the point of local software.

what you're buying

  • — A license file, signed to your email.
  • — The current binary.
  • — Every future binary, forever.
  • — An invite to the Founding Discord, which is just me and you and the other 499.
  • — No voting rights. No equity. No board seat. Just the binary. Just the wire.

refund

30 days, no questions, reply with "refund". After that, the seat is yours. If you don't want it anymore, transfer it (once). If you don't transfer it, it's still yours — we don't claw back licenses.
