Memo

Advertisers Drive the Spam Crisis

Advertisers send the majority of spam. Spam wastes our time, creates security risks, invades privacy, and causes us to miss messages we actually want.

PROBLEM: We're Trapped

Advertisers are trapped – people ignore their ads, so they send more, hoping to make sales. This wastes their money and floods consumers with unwanted spam. They don't have a better option.

Consumers are trapped – we get so much spam it’s difficult to find the messages we want. Spam invades our privacy, puts us at risk of scams, and it feels like there’s no solution.

SOLUTION: Grape ID™ Marketplace

The Marketplace allows advertisers to pay consumers to engage with their ads. Grape ID™ delivers ads to a user's Identity Agent, which decides if it's relevant.

HOW IT WORKS: CONSUMERS

STEP 1: Verify your identity

Step 1: Verify Your Identity. Even Grape ID™ can't see your data.

By verifying your identity, you generate a secure digital identity that lives on your device (not our servers). It’s a permanent identity that only YOU can unlock, own, and take with you throughout life.

This ensures no one else—not even Grape ID™—can access your account or your earnings. The digital keys are stored locally, turning your phone into a private server where YOU control the computing.

STEP 2: Connect & train your Identity Agent

Sync your accounts & tell it what you like.

Your Agent unifies your digital life by connecting to your favorite apps and learning from your chats. It aggregates data from your shopping, social, and emails into one secure profile that runs on your device. It works for you—not advertisers.

As you share your needs and interests, it learns what's helpful to you. Since your Identity Agent runs on your device, it works for you—not advertisers.

Your data never leaves your device.

STEP 3: Swipe ads to earn cash

Your Identity Agent filters through the noise to find ads that are relevant and worth your time. It prices every ad based on the hourly rate you set. Whether you swipe right or left, you get paid for your time.

👉 Swipe Right: Interested

👈 Swipe Left: Not Interested

💰 Get Paid Either Way: Withdraw cash to your wallet at any time.

HOW IT WORKS: ADVERTISERS

1. Launch campaigns in minutes

Grape ID™ allows advertisers to define their audience, upload ad creative, and set their bid price just like they would on platforms like Google Ads or Meta Ad.

2. Pay for engagement, not impressions

Traditional ad platforms charge advertisers for views, impressions, and other wasteful metrics. This means advertisers are literally paying ad platforms to spam people with impressions they know will be ignored.

With Grape ID™, advertisers only pay for genuine engagement— like a click or feedback. Users explicitly choose to engage.

3. Ad matching occurs on the USER'S device

Traditional ad platforms require your data to be sent to their corporate servers for processing, creating a massive privacy risk. With Grape ID, matching is performed locally by the user's Identity Agent. Private user data never leaves their device.

4. The Secret Sauce: Ad Targeting with 360° Context

Because the ad matching happens on the User's Device, Identity Agents have the full view of the user's data that traditional ad platforms never see.

1. Full User Context: Traditional platforms guess who users are based on fragmented browsing history (i.e., tracking cookies). Identity Agents match ads against data from the user’s entire digital life—shopping, location, finance, and apps—creating a complete 360° view that never leaves the phone.

2. Real-Time Relevance: Ad platform data is often weeks old. Identity Agent data is live. Advertisers reach users based on what they are interested in right now.

REVENUE MODEL

Our marketplace charges around a 30% transaction fee on ad spend. For example, when an advertiser pays $1 for engagement, the consumer earns $0.70 as a cash reward and Grape ID™ earns $0.30.

Grape ID™ will also generate revenue through B2B and government identity verification services (SEDI-compliant). For details on this revenue stream, please refer to the Pitch Deck PDF located at the top of this page.

TRACTION

Validation

Demand for the Grape ID™ Marketplace is strong. After seeing a rough mockup, 76% of consumers and 93% of advertisers signed up to the waitlist immediately. To prove advertisers were willing to pay for the product, we conducted a two-week test and collected $1,200 in pre-launch deposits.

Product Roadmap

Two Initiatives to "End Spam Forever"

To permanently solve spam, we must address both HOW and WHY spam exists (a.k.a., the technical & motivational reasons).

  1. Identity Agent Infrastructure. Identity Agents address HOW spam exists (technically). An Identity Agent acts as a gateway for your communications. It intercepts all incoming calls, emails, and texts, routing only what you've approved. It implements universal protocols like a universal 'Unsubscribe' button.
  2. Attention Marketplace. This addresses WHY spam exists. Right now, advertisers are financially rewarded for spamming people. The Marketplace enables advertisers to buy people’s attention instead of spamming them.

REVENUE PROJECTIONS

Based on our model and market opportunity (U.S. only), we project significant growth, reaching breakeven ($1M revenue/month with 7,500 businesses) in early 2028 and targeting $300 million in annual revenue by 2030. (Note: These are forward-looking projections based on current plans and market assumptions, and are not guaranteed).

COMPETITION

Unlike current ad platforms that exploit user data and keep the ad profits, Grape ID™ never sees user data and users keep the ad profits.

THE VISION

Spam is just the beginning. Once Grape ID™ reaches critical mass (targeting 50M+ users), our platform and underlying Identity Agent technology will empower individuals to solve other major digital challenges like broader privacy issues, cybercrime, censorship, and the limitations of centralized financial systems.

USE OF FUNDS

This $1.2M raise provides 18 months of runway to achieve key milestones: Launch the Phase I SEDI initiative (Q3 2026) to generate an initial user base and technical credibility; Launch the Attention Marketplace (Q4 2026) for consumers and advertisers; and build the Flywheel Effect (Q4 2026) to scale adoption.

Of the initial $50,000 raised in this Wefunder, 92.1 % of it will be used to market our Wefunder Campaign (social media, ads, marketing contractors) and 7.9% to pay Wefunder fees.

Of the $1.235M maximum goal for this current Wefunder campaign, 18% will go to marketing, 15% to operations and overhead of the company, 59.1% to four engineers and two product owners, and 7.9% to Wefunder fees.

Investing $20,000 & up? (Angel/VC)

Our Government, B2B, and SEDI initiatives offer scale beyond the consumer marketplace.
