Synonymous with our ethos, we have developed a simple approach to collaboratively financing events called “Event Staking”. We believe that this concept will not only incentivize events to demonstrate an affirmative outcome to their fanbase and encourage profit maximization but also enable organizers to maintain the same passion that started it all.
What is Event Staking?
The act of multiple organizing (promoters) & non-organizing (investors) partners buying a stake in an event (i.e. festival) with the positive expectation of generating a return on investment from the proceeds of the event.
How Event Staking Works?
- Promoters & Investors subscribe to a private issuing of 100 event tokens/units.
- Each token/unit represents a percentage point (%) of shares in the total cash balance from the event after factoring in profits and/or losses.
- Once agreed upon & co-signed, all Promoters & Investors are given online access to an escrow wallet (event SPV) on MFS Africa’s Beyonic Payments Platform.
- The agreed funds are respectively transferred to MFS Africa’s Bank Account (ABSA Bank) and shall reflect on the Beyonic Platform.
- The promoters/organizing partners can begin making payments directly from the platform as per the approval rules agreed upon.
- All revenue (Tickets, F&B Vendors, Sponsorships) & all expenses (Entertainment, Security, Production, Service Providers) shall be run through the platform for open book transparency for investors.
- At the end of the event, the wallet is closed and 100% of the total balance is dispersed proportionally to all token/unit owners (including 3rd parties who may have bought tokens from a non-organizing investor after private issuing).
