Five contributor paths — from a 10-minute Ambassador signup to a 90-day Country Master Franchise application. Everyone who helps EPC Global HUB grow shares in its growth.
Each layer fits a different profile, capacity, and ambition. Choose what matches your situation. Move up the ladder over time.
Bloggers, newsletters, podcasters, industry associations, event organizers. Pure recommendation engine — share a referral link, earn one-time when somebody you referred signs up.
Industry-connected professionals (ex-EPC manager, ex-commercial director, senior consultant) with a rolodex of 50–200 firms. Active outbound work to bring members onto the Platform.
Persons launching a regional or vertical-specific cluster from scratch — recruit 5+ firms, organize the coalition, become the Cluster Leader. Half-builder, half-operator.
Recognized expert in a specific niche (BESS, offshore wind, hydrogen, district heating, EV charging, smart cities, hydropower, floating solar). Owns the vertical's standards, evangelism, and community.
Entrepreneurs replicating EPC HUB in a country or region (HUB Polska, HUB Iberia, HUB Balkans, HUB Ukraine, HUB MENA). Run the local platform fully, with brand and systems from HUB Central.
Five layers cooperating means inevitable overlap. The rules below resolve every conflict deterministically — without case-by-case arbitration.
When multiple contributors could claim a single member: Country Franchisee (jurisdiction first-right 90 days) → Cluster Builder (60 days) → Vertical Champion (parallel automatic) → Acquisition Agent (whoever closed) → Ambassador (last-touch cookie).
Vertical Champion earnings are parallel, not exclusive. The Champion adds 5% on top of whoever else is being paid, because the Champion's value comes from standards-keeping and evangelism — not from acquisition.
Country Franchisees have first-right-of-refusal on all leads in their territory for 90 days. If unsigned at day 90, the lead becomes open. Pan-European Strategic Affiliates bypass franchise jurisdictions and contract directly with HUB Central.
Sum of all contributor payouts on any transaction cannot exceed 50% of HUB's gross revenue. If hypothetically the matrix sums to more, all contributors receive a pro-rata reduction. HUB Central retains minimum 50% for operations and growth.
Ambassador hits cap €25k → eligible to upgrade to Acquisition Agent. Acquisition Agent reaches 50+ active members → "Master Agent" status. Cluster Builder completes 3 successful clusters → eligible to apply for Country Franchisee.
Original Bincona Europe Cluster, founding firms, TeamJob Global S.R.L., and pre-Growth-Engine direct acquisitions are heritage-exempt. No contributor earns share on these. The system extends, it does not redistribute the past.
Growth Engine never claws back from existing relationships, founders, or pre-Growth-Engine members. The system extends, it does not redistribute the past.
Identify the layer that fits your profile and ambition. Application paths range from instant (Ambassador) to multi-month (Country Franchise).
