The Latest Opportunity
for Visionary MDC Owners
Fund the development of the business plan for MDC’s AI Studio.
We are fundraising for the development of the Business Plan– NOT the AI Studio itself.
Why is this project work not covered by our annual subscription dues?
Great question! The annual subscription dues fund MDC’s entire operations. We dedicate more than half of our revenue to working on projects, and when we need to hire third-party talent, that comes out of the project budget. AI talent is expensive, and we estimate that building the AI Studio business plan will require approximately $250,000—including those expensive third-party costs. When a project gets into this range of expense, we typically seek contributions from owners to help fund that specific project. Over the years we have done this for several projects (such as Scenario Planning and Curql, for example). Additionally, this request for funds also acts as an informal vote of support to move a project forward.
Is there a minimum contribution?
Yes, the minimum contribution is $10,000.
What is the deadline to commit a contribution?
With the expedited project timeline, contributions must be confirmed by October 9.
Is there a maximum number of Owners who can contribute?
No, there is no limit to the number of Owners who can contribute.
What happens if you don’t raise the full $250,000 amount?
If we don’t raise $250,000 we will have to assess whether the project work is still feasible, and if not, funds will be returned.
What happens if you raise more than $250,000?
Any funds above $250,000 will be applied to future phases of this project.
When will I be invoiced for my commitment?
Once commitments reach $175,000, we will send out invoices.
