For Creators
Build it in weeks. Earn royalties for two years.
All the fun of being a product inventor, none of the business humdrum. You build focused software on our base; FormaBase runs the business and pays you a 20% royalty on your product’s net receipts for 24 months.
The deal
Weeks of work. Two years of royalties.
Your part can be as short as a few weeks. Once your product launches, FormaBase runs it, and your royalty keeps arriving every month for two years while you move on to your next idea.

Hypothetical scenario that shows the math, not a prediction or typical result. Royalty of 20% of net receipts after any Affiliate share, for 24 months from each product's launch. Assumes card fees of 2.9% + 30¢, 3% of customers cancelling each month, and products launching 4 months apart. FormaBase decides whether and when products launch. Your signed Creator Agreement sets the actual terms.
Why FormaBase
A better deal than going it alone
No company required
No LLC, bank account, Stripe account, contracts or terms to set up for each idea. The business already exists.
Zero overhead
You never pay for hosting, support, AI usage, marketing or staff. Those come out of FormaBase's share, never your royalty.
A built-in sales force
Affiliates promote the whole catalog, so your product launches with people already motivated to sell it. You never chase a customer.
