Become a Host
A few beavers build the dams that raise the river.
Only a few needs can create a dam that builds connection for everyone. Hosts are the beavers who build those dams, and the Dividend is how they're paid, trained and looked after.
HOSTDAM BUILDER
The Dividend
You build the dam, and the Dividend keeps you thriving.
The Dividend is how Hosts, the people who really want to play the game, get paid, get the gear they need and build alongside each other.
What you get
- An equal share of the weekly dividend
- Training, game kits and event materials
- Design support for your invites and posters
- A crew of fellow Hosts to build with
Who it suits: anyone who really wants to play the game and already knows half their street, whether you're a parent with a few free hours, a retiree or a student.
How the Dividend is paid
Buying together pays the people who make it happen.
When neighbours buy together, suppliers give bulk discounts, and part of that saving flows back each week to the Hosts who made it happen.
Neighbours pool an order
A shared need becomes a single order, like booking one window cleaning crew for the whole block.
The supplier gives a bulk discount
With one order and one delivery, everyone gets a better price.
Savings stay with neighbours
Every household pays less.
A dividend goes to Hosts
It's shared equally among Hosts and weighted by the collaboration each one brings.
Dividend amounts vary week to week and are not guaranteed.
