Joint briefs
Several businesses share one brief. Every business pays the same amount, and the lead business acts for the group.
Items marked Demo are examples. Items marked Pilot are real posts from the pilot. Joining is for registered businesses and is a commitment, not a payment.
Joint briefs open to join
How a joint brief works
- Businesses joinRegistered businesses press “Join this brief”. Joining is a commitment, not a payment. Up to 10 businesses.
- The lead business acts for the groupIt picks the creator, agrees the price and confirms acceptance. Partners can comment in the thread.
- Everyone pays the sameEvery business pays the same amount — never unequal shares. Each pays its own share through the platform once the price is agreed.
- From 5 businesses, 6164 buys for the group6164 steps in as the single buyer; see the box on this page.
Two pricing methods
Split a fixed total. The lead business sets a total, a minimum number of businesses and a closing date. The businesses that join split the final agreed price equally, so the figure per business falls as more join.
Fixed price per business, the running total grows. The lead business sets what each business pays, for example $1,000. Each business that joins adds the same amount: “Running total $4,000 = 4 businesses × $1,000”. Creators can post a public asking price, and a creator who finds the total high enough can offer to take the project at once.
Every business always pays the same amount — there are no unequal contributions. Up to 10 businesses.
Three-working-day matching window
Once the conditions are met (the minimum is reached, or a creator offers to take the project), a 3-working-day matching window starts. Both sides can still choose each other or someone else; payment goes through the platform only when both are satisfied. If nothing is agreed, the lead business can extend once by 3 working days; otherwise it goes back to open.
6164 may read this project’s conversation to resolve a dispute.
From the 5th business: 6164 buys for the group
When the 5th business joins, 6164 steps in as the single buyer on behalf of all the businesses — one buyer to one seller. Ownership of the software is then shared by 6164 and the creator, and every business keeps its right to use it at the same price.
After that the creator keeps selling the product, but only on 6164, on the ordinary rules: the creator keeps the price and each side pays the 10% platform fee. 6164 takes no extra share, does not sell, license or change the product itself, and agrees in advance to every sale made on 6164. If 6164 stops running the platform, full ownership returns to the creator.
Payment is still held by the independent third-party provider — 6164 never handles the money. Subject to the written agreement.
Businesses in a joint brief must not use it to exchange prices or other commercially sensitive information.
