Mission Statement
Building bCorp: A Vision for the Future of Software
Our Mission
To revolutionize software ownership by creating an open-source ecosystem where users become shareholders, productivity creates equity, and every contribution builds collective value.
We're building the world's biggest company — one powered by code, contribution, and shared ownership, where software becomes a marketplace and users become stakeholders in their digital tools.
Following the advice that founders should write, I wanted to share a short note on why bCorp needs building.
At its core, bCorp is an open-source foundation for productivity — a system where each tool is its own business. bCorp itself is a centralised corporation, but the software it publishes — the bApps — are open, tokenised platforms that distribute ownership among their users and developers.
Take bMail, for example — like Gmail, but with its own internal market, contracting system, mint, token, and exchange. That internal market is provisionally designed to allow trade in mailing lists — but it doesn't have to be. Because the code is open-source, developers are free to fork it, experiment, and add their own features.
If a developer introduces a feature that can generate revenue for the client, it can be merged into the reference client in exchange for equity in $bMail. If their feature works, every bMail shareholder benefits.
The same logic applies to every bApp — bWriter, bSheets, bDrive, and beyond. Each one is an open, self-sustaining micro-economy — evolving through contribution and shared ownership.
Often, the reaction I get to what I'm building is a mix of disinterest, incredulity, and of course, the inevitable “but why?” — usually flavoured with a “why do we need blockchain?” undertone.
It's a fair question. The short answer is: because the economics of software are changing. The rise of vibe coding — tools that multiply human output — means capable people can now do ten times what they could before. The number of apps, developers, and AI-driven creators is exploding, and the value they generate needs new structures of ownership.
bCorp is built to anticipate that shift.
It treats users not as consumers, but as freelance contractors in an open, programmable economy — where every contribution can be measured, rewarded, and owned.
When someone uses a bApp, they're not just a user — they're a participant in its economy. Writers earn equity stakes in bWriter Corp. as they write and complete contracts on bWriter. The same goes for bMail, bDrive, and every other bApp. Use creates ownership. Productivity creates equity.
And here's where it gets interesting.
The bApps platform lists any bApp for just a 1% equity fee. That 1% is small enough for creators not to mind parting with it — but it gives the platform, and every user within it, a stake in everything that grows.
The same 1% applies to all tokenised products traded or sold on the platform.
Write a viral newsletter in bMail, and its shares may go parabolic. The bMail platform takes 1% of the revenue shares in the newsletter, and bMail shareholders feel the benefit.
So it's not just the developers adding value through open-source contributions — it's the writers, marketers, musicians, 3D modellers, and entrepreneurs using the bApps to create value, each feeding back into the system.
In essence, this is an attempt to build the world's biggest company —
one with the most contractors ever,
powered by code, contribution, and shared ownership.
bCorp is where software becomes a marketplace — and users become shareholders.
