A Signal is a problem you bring the crew, with proof that people already want it. The crew builds the product and you get a reserved seat on it. In Orbit you have the same three endings as everyone else: land, orbit again or part ways.
The crew builds at most 2 Signals each quarter. The queue is private. Only the crew sees it.
Tell the crew the problem, who has it and why you. The form is at the bottom of this page.
At least 10 people on a waitlist, or at least 5 customer conversations. The crew reviews a Signal after you show it.

Shiyu builds it in house. You help with user interviews, copy and tests.
It goes on the board with a Signal badge with your name. Your seat shows as Reserved. The other seats open to strangers.
30 days, one goal, three endings: land, orbit again, part ways. The rules are the same for you.
Two separate things. The spark share pays for the idea. Seat equity pays for the work, on the same clock as every seat.
Spark share
1%
A fixed slice of the company for the idea. It comes out of the 10% pool and vests fully when the build lands. An Orbit ending does not change it.
Seat equity
Your seat
The same slice every human seat gets on the build. Granted at Landing, unvested, and vested over 2 years with a 3-month cliff. Split numbers are on the deal.
Only an Orbit ending can take the reserved seat. A stranger cannot take it before Orbit starts. After Orbit, the seat follows the normal rules on Residency.
Nobody is cut. The crew shelves the build, and you get the first right to take the idea back. The code stays with Build w/ Strangers.
The first sender with proof of pull gets the build.
There is no NDA. The crew may already be building something similar, and may build it later.
