The Drivesome Founders Club is a once-in-a-platform invitation extended to 1,000 genuine car enthusiasts who help shape the future of this community from the ground up. Not followers. Not influencers. Builders, organisers, forum regulars, and everyday drivers who live the culture.
No cost. No catch. Just show up, contribute, and earn your place.
What Is the Founders Club?
Founded by Marcus Newark, the Founders Club recognises the people who matter most in building an authentic car community — the ones who answer questions at midnight, keep clubs running, create content nobody asked them to, and make every car meet better for showing up.
If that is you, this is yours.
Founders Benefits
Permanent Founders Badge
A profile badge that marks you as one of the originals. Once earned, it stays with your account forever — a public record that you were here at the beginning.
Equity Participation — Selected Members
A selection of qualifying Founders will be offered a free equity stake in Drivesome. No payment required. Subject to a formal shareholder agreement and applicable law. Full details will be communicated directly to eligible members only.
Dividend Eligibility
Equity holders may be eligible to receive dividends as Drivesome grows and generates revenue. Subject to company performance and director discretion.
Exclusive Perks
Early access to new features, limited Drivesome merchandise, invitations to events, track days, and collaborations — with expanded benefits as the platform grows.
5x DCred Earning Rate — Permanent
Founders earn DCred at the highest available rate permanently, regardless of paid membership tier.
Founders Network
Private access to a community of 1,000 verified enthusiasts for meetups, builds, collaborative content, and events.
How to Earn Founders Status
Founders status is not purchased — it is earned. To qualify:
- Maintain consistent activity during the qualifying period (minimum 3 logins per week)
- Post a minimum of 20 meaningful original content pieces per month on different days
- Contribute constructively — help others, engage genuinely, and lift the standard of the community
Provisional Founders who do not meet these requirements within 90 days will forfeit their provisional status to the next eligible member. Once the beta window closes, no further Founders will be added.
