Students wouldn’t be giving up much: typically no more than 5–10% of their personal token. And importantly, this isn’t tied to income, so nothing in their day-to-day life is taken away.

Dividends only flow to shareholders when the student realizes capital gains (e.g., selling equity in a company), not from salary. Even then, there can be sensible safeguards, like only triggering dividends once total gains exceed $1M.

So students still keep nearly all of their upside, while gaining resources and support they wouldn’t otherwise have access to.

5 to 10% seems like a lot.

What do you think is more reasonable?

Also, I meant 5 - 10% over the course of their lives (across all that they raise from). I should have been more clear.
