The booksOpen

Founder-funded until demand proves itself.

No outside capital, no opaque budgets. Current venue and infrastructure costs are covered personally by the founders. Workshop revenue covers operating costs first, then funds community education, public resources, and member projects.

Funding

Where the money comes from.

Founder-backed via TCS (Teddy's Cleaning Systems). Member dues and workshop ticket revenue cover operating cost first; surplus reinvests into open resources, member tooling, and public events. If we ever take outside capital, it lands here first.

Where it goesBy category

Every dollar, sorted.

Total spend across the hub's lifetime, grouped by category and sorted biggest-first. Bar length is share of total. Rent and recurring infra are the long tail; one-off fit-out lives at the top until amortised.

The other ledger.

Dollars in and out are only half the story. The other half is hours-of-work. Founders log time into mah_work_hours; the rollup is below. Empty today — first log lands when the founder hours-tracking form ships.
