Be One of the First 10

Build the Future

You Already Know What Product You're Going to Build

The moment you read Galaxy, Nexus, Resale, and Provenance, something clicked.

You saw it. The thing that's been impossible until now. The device that becomes the standard for its category. The hardware that scales because the infrastructure finally supports it. The product that proves this ecosystem is real.

You already know.

Two Paths to Win

Path 1: The First 10 Prize

Build within the Alien Lights ecosystem. Get 0.5% profit share forever.

Integrate the embedded controller. Ship under the Alien Lights brand. You're part of the movement from day one. First 5 by sales volume. Next 5 by our choice for innovation.

You build the product. We amplify the brand. You get permanent profit participation.

Path 2: Spin-Off Equity

Build your own company. We take 10% equity. You take autonomy.

Don't want the Alien Lights brand? Build it independently. Your product. Your company. Your name.

We take 10% equity. You keep 90% and full control. Your product still uses Galaxy/Nexus/Resale as the foundation. We both profit when you win. We did it with two people and now you can too.

The Rules Are Simple

For the First 10 Prize:

  • You must be a small business or startup — Or a pass-through entity (LLC, S-corp, etc.) for tax purposes. This prize is designed for founders and makers, not mega-corps.
  • First 10 products within 2 years — That's it. The window. After that, it closes.
  • 0.5% profit share each — Non-voting shares. We split 5% equally among the first 10. Non-dilutable. Forever.
  • Pure profit participation — You get 0.5% of annual profit, every year, for life. That's it.
  • How you win:
    • First 5 spots: Sales volume only. Ship a product with our embedded controller. Top 5 by units sold in the 2-year window win. No judges. No pitch. Pure sales.
    • Next 5 spots: We choose for innovation. You did something we didn't predict. You proved a new use case. You changed what Galaxy makes possible. We pick you.

For Spin-Off Equity:

  • Build your own company — Independent brand, autonomous operation.
  • We keep 10% equity — Platform licensing. You keep 90%, full control.
  • Your product uses Galaxy/Nexus/Resale — The platform is your foundation. You build the hardware, we provide the infrastructure.
  • No capital required from us — We don't invest. We keep equity as part of the platform deal.

Why You Should Do This

You've Already Designed It

Right now, you're imagining the specs. The form factor. The capabilities. The price point. The thing everyone else tries to copy.

You know what it is. You already see it shipping.

The only question is: do you build it?

The Infrastructure Disappears, Only Your Product Remains

Galaxy makes it instant. Nexus makes it yours. Resale makes it fair. Provenance makes it permanent.

You don't think about latency or authentication or scalability or aftermarket fraud. You just build what you've been designing.

For the first time, the platform doesn't compete with your product. It multiplies it.

You Get Paid for Believing First

Most makers spend their entire lives building hardware and never see the upside of the ecosystem they create.

You're different. You believe this is the future. You're going to prove it. And we're going to make sure you benefit permanently.

0.5% isn't a gift. It's recognition that you took the risk when everyone else thought it was impossible.

The Countdown is on the Home Page

2 years. First 10 products only. 2 years from our countdown.

After that, the window closes. No exceptions. No extensions.

The first 2 years define what products win. If you're going to launch something that becomes the standard, now is when it matters most.

You Don't Need Permission

Read Galaxy. Understand how 1-5ms direct latency changes what's possible for real-time control across infinite devices. Your product suddenly becomes possible.

Read Nexus. Understand how offline-first means your customers can control their gear anywhere, anytime. No internet = no problem.

Read Resale. Understand how fair secondary markets mean your customers will promote you instead of watching your products flip for 300% markup. Your community stays loyal.

Read Provenance. Understand how your hardware can carry cryptographic proof of authenticity. Counterfeits become easy to detect.

Now build the product you already know is coming. Integrate the embedded controller. Ship it. Let the sales speak for themselves.

Or build something so innovative we can't ignore it. Either way, you're in.

The First 10 Products Become Legendary

As this ecosystem grows, the first products built on it become the standards everyone else follows.

Not knockoffs. Not iterations. Standards.

The devices that believed when it was impossible. The hardware that proved the ecosystem was real. The products that changed what makers could build.

Their vision. Their engineering. Their permanent piece of the upside.

Forever.

IoT Lighting and WLED Devices Start Here

IoT lighting is our vertical, and it pays for the platform. If you make WLED devices, WLED derivatives or connected lighting for other people, this page is how you build with us.

The platform services (the gateway, Alien Queue, the Factory, signed images, the doorbell) are not licensed for a competing business in that field. See the field of use. Either path above is a written agreement with us, and it removes that restriction for what you build. Using WLED itself is not limited, and nothing here changes anyone's rights under the WLED open-source licence.
