Maker's Yield & Cost
Founding Ambassadors

We're looking for a few makers.

Everybody's invited. Not everyone becomes an ambassador. The title is earned by what you do, not what you ask for. Do you have what it takes?

10 Founding spots during the beta. Mostly New York schools.

Faculty or student. Same bar.

Are you faculty?

You teach the craft. Bring Maker's Yield & Cost into your classroom and show students what real costing and yield look like. Teaching it counts toward your spot.

Are you a student?

You're building your first collection. Use the app on real work, show people what you made, and bring other makers with you. Same perks as faculty.

How you earn it

There's no such thing as a free lunch. Start as a Contributor. Then do the work below. Every step is logged with proof.

  1. Post about it

    Post about Maker's Yield & Cost four or more times. Your work, your words, your channels.

  2. Share the word

    Share our posts or the beta link four or more times. Point makers to the tool that helped you.

  3. Bring makers in

    Bring in three or more makers who build a real product in the app. Teaching it in a class counts.

Questions

Who can apply?

Faculty and students at schools with a .edu address. The beta is free for you through mid-December 2026. Most spots go to New York schools, FIT and others.

Do faculty and students get different perks?

No. Same bar, same perks.

When does the payment program pay?

Only after production launch, never during the free beta. It's opt-in, with a written agreement. A US tax form applies if you earn over $2,000 in a year.
