- 1,000 bounties × $500 = $500,000 in payouts
- Transaction fees (1.5% avg) = $7,500
- 20 Pro subscribers × $99 × 12 = $23,760
- 5 Enterprise subscribers × $999 × 12 = $59,880
- Total: $91,140
Growth Scenario (Year 2)
- 5,000 bounties × $750 = $3,750,000 in payouts
- Transaction fees (1.5% avg) = $56,250
- 100 Pro subscribers × $99 × 12 = $118,800
- 30 Enterprise subscribers × $999 × 12 = $359,280
- Talent marketplace (15% of $2M hires) = $300,000
- Total: $834,330
