Discover the 5 steps leading to the unicorn status
A. Definition of Phases
Ideation Phase: The initial phase during which the creator or creators of the startup draft and timestamp a CreaBOOK.
Foundation Phase: The second phase in which the creator or creators of the startup assemble a team of co-founders to build the necessary tools for the company’s launch. This phase concludes with the update of the CreaBOOK, its registration in the Global Register of Creations, and its conformity certification by the World Creators Society (WcS).
Seedling Phase: The third developmental phase in which the startup demonstrates the technical and commercial feasibility of its ecosystem. This phase concludes with the update of the CreaBOOK, its registration in the Global Register of Creations, and its economic value certification issued by WcS.
Scaling Phase: The fourth developmental phase during which the startup expands its activities. This phase concludes with the update of the CreaBOOK, its registration in the Global Register of Creations, and the certification of the originality of the creation issued by WcS.
Expansion Phase: The fifth phase during which the startup increases the share of its products and services in the global market through the Responsible Authenticity Marking issued by WcS.
Remark: The valuation base of creaSHARE I is different from that of creaSHARE II. The former is based on the Share Multiplier determined after the Ideation stage, while the latter uses the Share Multiplier fixed after the Foundation stage. An example of implementing this Multiplier is provided in the CreaBOOK CreaCORN.
