1. Executive Summary
Human-Arc AI is a marketplace where investors back individual people building their futures — not companies, not assets, but the people themselves. Investors provide capital and receive 5% of the person's profits over 10 years plus a negotiable equity stake. Recipients get capital freedom without losing control — fair terms, no credit checks, no collateral.
The platform uses AI-powered scoring to identify underdog talent that traditional systems overlook: athletes rejected by scouts, founders turned down by VCs, farmers denied by banks, and professionals told they'd fail. We find the people others miss, score their potential, and connect them with investors who believe in human capital.
Core Thesis: Human potential is the most undervalued asset class in the world. Traditional finance has no mechanism to invest in individuals. Human-Arc creates that mechanism — backed by AI, secured by smart contracts, and designed for underdogs.
2. The Problem We Solve
For Talented Individuals
- Athletes need $30K–$150K for training, travel, and equipment but have no credit history or collateral
- Farmers need capital for land, equipment, and infrastructure but are turned down by traditional banks
- Entrepreneurs are forced to give up 20-40% equity to VCs just to get started
- Professionals in career transitions have no way to fund their pivot without debt
- Entertainers need capital for production, marketing, and touring but have unpredictable income
For Investors
- No asset class offers direct exposure to individual human performance
- Angel investing requires $25K+ minimums and illiquid 7-10 year lockups with no transparency
- Impact investing options are limited to institutional funds with high barriers
- No mechanism exists to diversify across multiple people and industries
The Gap: $4.7 trillion flows into venture capital, real estate, and public markets annually. Zero dollars flow directly into individual human potential. Human-Arc opens this entirely new asset class.
3. The Human-Arc Investment Model
How It Works
Terms
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Profit Share | 5% of recipient's profits over 10 years |
| Equity Component | Negotiable equity stake included in the contract — aligned with the recipient's growth |
| Credit Check | None required |
| Collateral | None required |
| Fund Usage Restrictions | None — use however helps you succeed |
| Relationship | Partnership, not debt |
| Exit | Clear 10-year term with defined end |
Dual-Return Model: Human-Arc contracts include both a 5% profit share and an equity component. This gives investors two paths to returns — ongoing income from profit sharing and long-term upside through equity. Recipients benefit because the equity stake is negotiated fairly, with no predatory terms, and the capital comes with zero credit checks or collateral requirements.
Example Returns
| Recipient Type | Investment | Avg Annual Return | 10-Year Total | ROI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Regenerative Rancher | $150,000 | $7,000/year | $70,000 | 47% |
| Specialty Farmer | $60,000 | $5,000/year | $50,000 | 83% |
| SaaS Entrepreneur | $100,000 | $15,000/year | $150,000 | 150% |
| NCAA Golfer → LPGA | $75,000 | $12,000/year | $120,000 | 160% |
| Squash Player → Olympic | $50,000 | $8,000/year | $80,000 | 160% |
4. Investment Categories
Athletes
Rising talent in basketball, golf, squash, and other sports who need training, equipment, coaching, and travel funding. We target underdogs — athletes overlooked by traditional scouts, playing at mid-major schools, grinding on minor tours, or competing from countries with no sports infrastructure.
Entertainers
Musicians, comedians, and creators building their audiences. Capital funds production, marketing, touring, and equipment. The entertainment industry is built on early investment — but most creators have no access to that capital.
Family Farmers
Next-generation farming families operating 5–300 acres focused on specialty crops and regenerative agriculture. These are not corporate farms — they're families preserving agricultural heritage while innovating with sustainable practices. Banks routinely deny them loans despite strong land assets and multi-generational knowledge.
Entrepreneurs
Founders building businesses who need capital on fair terms. Traditional VC forces entrepreneurs to surrender 20-40% of their company. Human-Arc offers a balanced deal — 5% of profits plus a negotiable equity stake — structured so the founder keeps meaningful control and the investor is aligned with their success.
Professionals
High-potential individuals in career transitions — changing industries, pursuing advanced credentials, or launching independent practices. The traditional system offers only debt (student loans, credit cards) for career pivots. Human-Arc offers partnership.
5. The Arc Score — AI-Powered Evaluation
The Arc Score is a proprietary AI scoring system that evaluates human potential across multiple dimensions. Unlike traditional credit scores or VC due diligence, the Arc Score specifically highlights people who succeeded despite being overlooked.
Scoring Framework (0–1000 Scale)
Human Score (40% — 400 points max)
- Serial founder/athlete status and track record
- Domain expertise depth and years of experience
- Team readiness and support network
- Academic honors and credentials
- Athletic performance metrics (sport-specific)
Market Score (30% — 300 points max)
- Sector growth trajectory and market timing
- Revenue traction or competitive results
- Professional experience and career progression
- Industry demand for their skill set
Diversity Score (15% — 150 points max)
- Underserved community bonus
- Veteran status
- Career pivot index (rewarding non-linear paths)
- Geographic disadvantage factor
Analytics Score (15% — 150 points max)
- Network strength and professional connections
- Social influence and audience reach
- NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) metrics for athletes
- Digital footprint and online presence
NCAA Golfer Scoring Enhancement
For college golfers, we integrate 16 golf-specific performance metrics including handicap, stroke average, NCAA appearances, conference championships, tournament wins, and improvement trajectory. The athletic boost algorithm is specifically rebalanced to weight competitive results over raw talent indicators.
YC Founder Scoring (0–100 Scale)
A separate scoring system for Y Combinator founders on a 0–100 scale, designed to evaluate founders who were rejected or who left YC. This score focuses on post-rejection success metrics and identifies founders who proved the traditional accelerator model wrong.
The Arc Score Advantage: We specifically reward people who succeeded despite being overlooked — rejected by accelerators, turned down by banks, told they'd fail. Traditional scoring penalizes non-linear paths. We reward them.

8. Regulatory & Compliance Framework
SEC Regulation CF
Human-Arc operates under SEC Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF), which allows companies to raise up to $5 million from non-accredited investors. Our AI-powered Form C filing system automates the most complex parts of this process:
- Auto-populates financial projections based on user profile data
- Generates risk factor disclosures using GPT-4
- Creates compliance checklists for legal review
- Tracks filing status through draft → review → filed workflow
Smart Contract Compliance
Every AI-drafted smart contract includes:
- Automated compliance checklists covering securities law, token economics, and operational security
- Emergency pause functionality for regulatory intervention
- Reserve verification hooks for stablecoin compliance
- Multi-signature requirements for critical operations
KYC/AML
All production token operations require identity verification through our KYC system. Demo tokens bypass KYC for testing purposes but are clearly marked and cannot be traded on production markets.

| Total | 57 | 100% |
Entertainer Outreach — Ari Miller (@ariathome)
Identified Ari Miller as the first Entertainer category prospect — a TikTok music creator with 3.3M followers, 1.5M YouTube subscribers (381M views), 1M Instagram followers, and 100K Twitch subscribers. Estimated $40K–$88K+/month revenue. Official ROLI partner. No email was publicly available; a TikTok DM pitch was drafted and delivered. Arc Score: 912/1000 (98th percentile) — the first-ever perfect Analytics score (150/150).
Total outreach to date: 65 personalized emails + 1 DM across founders, athletes, and entertainers. ~$1.5M investment opportunity identified across 30 athletes in 12 countries, with individual asks ranging from $25K to $80K.
10. Arc Score Case Studies
We've generated detailed Arc Score PDF reports for key prospects and partners, demonstrating the scoring engine's ability to evaluate diverse talent across categories:
| Name | Category | Arc Score | Percentile | Key Insight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ari Miller (@ariathome) | Entertainer | 912/1000 | 98th | First perfect Analytics score (150/150); 5.8M+ cross-platform audience |
| Andres Zubillaga | Entrepreneur | 881/1000 | 97th | Co-founder at Audos (Prehype); Dartmouth Phi Beta Kappa; $11.5M raised from True Ventures |
| Adam Sandler (Smoodi) | Entrepreneur | 847/1000 | 95th | CRO at YC + Harvard Innovation Lab-backed healthtech; serial founder (3 ventures); Fast Company 2025 |
| Marcus Semones | Entrepreneur | 850/1000 | 95th | Founder/builder of Human-Arc AI; cross-category expertise |
Scoring Diversity: These four reports span two categories (Entrepreneur and Entertainer) and demonstrate the Arc Score's ability to evaluate fundamentally different profiles — from a YC-backed healthtech CRO with 3 ventures, to a venture studio co-founder with $11.5M raised, to a 5.8M-follower music creator. The scoring engine identifies undervalued talent regardless of industry or path.
