Business Model

We have already described a separation of entities whereby the tDAOs are owned by their members and Takadao is a technology services provider to the tDAO. In this capacity, Takadao receives revenue from the tDAO.

Revenue type	Received from	Amount
Protocol (maintenance) fee	Contributions to the tDAOs	13%
Tech (IP) Licensing fee	Contributions to the tDAOs	8%
Services agreement fee	Contributions to the tDAOs	1%
Investments revenue share	Profits from investments made on behalf of tDAOs	varies

While the tDAOs are not-for-profit endeavors, Takadao is a for-profit organization that has employees, founders and investors. Nonetheless, revenue is not only accrued to Takadao team and investors, but are also accrued to the Takadao community through the TAKA token, which is described in subsequent sections.
