# Kapdec founding mentor program benefits

## Teach. Earn. Build — Get Reward

## Four different ways

## founding mentors earn with Kapdec

Kapdec is designed for exceptional mentors who want more than just an hourly income — they want to build and benefit from the ecosystem they help create.

## 1. Earn by mentoring

![Student](https://edu.kapdec.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Student.jpg?width=1237&height=847&name=Student.jpg "Student")

- Keep **95% of your tutoring earnings** while teaching on your own terms. 
- Mentors set their own rates
- Maximize the value of your expertise without sacrificing large platform commissions.
- Kapdec retains only 5% as a fee for all the provided services. No hidden fee! Ever!

## 2. Earn Growth Shares

At Kapdec, each activity and every meaningful contribution gets rewarded.

Founding mentors earn **Growth Shares** for helping grow the platform through:

- Mentor referrals
- Student outreach
- Ecosystem expansion

# How Growth Shares Work?

### Growth shares are IN ADDITION to the tutoring/mentoring earnings.

### In addition to retaining 95% of your tutoring earnings, founding mentors accumulate Growth Shares for every meaningful contribution made toward expanding the Kapdec ecosystem.

### As Kapdec grows, your accumulated Growth Shares reflect your role as an early contributor in shaping the platform's future, and you are rewarded just as fairly and ethically. 

- ## **1. Teach & Earn**
  
  #### Retain **95% of your tutoring earnings** while teaching students on your own terms. You set your tutoring rates and your schedule.
  
  #### **+ Earn** **Growth Shares** for every tutoring hour completed:
  
  > ***1 Tutoring Hour = 10 Growth Shares***
  
   
  
   
- ## **2. Grow the Mentor Network**
  
  #### Introduce exceptional educators and subject matter experts to Kapdec and earn additional Growth Shares for helping strengthen the platform.
  
  > ***1 New Mentor Referred & Recruited = 100 Growth Shares***
  
   
  
   
- ## **3. Bring Students to Kapdec**
  
  #### When students you introduce enroll and take classes on Kapdec — whether with you or with other mentors — you continue earning Growth Shares as those tutoring hours grow across the platform.
  
  > ***1 Tutoring Hour Consumed by your referred student = 10 Growth Shares***
  
   
  
  *\* Even if your referred students take mentoring from other mentors, you still earn the Growth Shares.  
  \* Example: You refer 10 students, and each student takes 50 hours in a month, you earn 10\*50 =500 growth shares for that specific month.*
  
   
  
   
- ## **4. Accumulate Growth Shares**
  
  #### Growth Shares are designed to recognize your long-term contributions and continuously grow your personal Growth Share balance as you help expand the ecosystem.
  
   
  
  > ***Growth shares never expire until paid out in cash value***
  
   
  
   
- ## **5. Growth Shares =  Cash Rewards**
  
  #### Growth Shares carry real cash value and are paid out **in addition** to your regular tutoring income.
  
  ### **Payout Example Calculation**
  
  > - ***10,000 Growth Shares = $500 payout***
  >   - ***25,000 Growth Shares = $1,250 payout***
  >   - ***50,000 Growth Shares = $2,500 payout***
  
   
  
  *\* Growth Shares become eligible for payout upon accumulation of:  10,000 Growth Shares*
  
   
  
   
- ## **6. Unlock Elite Status Bonus**
  
  #### Mentors who achieve major contribution milestones unlock enhanced rewards and recognition.
  
  #### Once you cross **100,000 cumulative Growth Shares**, you receive:
  
  > - ***25% bonus payout** on eligible Growth Share earnings*
  >   - *Official **“Kapdec Exceptional Mentor Status” Certification***
  >   - *Recognition as a top founding contributor helping shape the future of Kapdec*
  >   - *Social media recognition (with your permission)*
  >   - *Elite PR coverage (conditions apply)*
