VENGUILD
A career platform designed to turn real-world achievements into a living identity—and help employers discover the talent behind it.
VENGUILD transforms real-world education, work experience, skills and achievements into a persistent gamified career identity, helping people showcase their growth, discover opportunities and turn their career into an adventure.
Career platforms are built around job hunting, while careers develop continuously. Education, projects, skills and achievements are often compressed into a static résumé. VENGUILD makes that growth visible through an evolving identity.
Professional Mode provides profiles, jobs, company and university discovery, recruiter tools and employer subscriptions. Adventurer Mode expresses the same progress through levels, skills, classes, achievements, guilds and quests.
The first business is useful career and recruitment technology. The longer-term opportunity is a recurring career network with learning, commerce and a persistent game world.
Mobile experience concept. Mobile conversion remains on the delivery roadmap.
The Philippines is the initial launch market: students aged 16+, early-career talent, working professionals, employers, recruiters and universities.
Schools and career communities seed acquisition; employers and recruiters provide the first paid utility. The university directory supports institutional advertising and education-to-employment discovery.
The current sheet lists 2,334 Philippine HEI entries, including satellite campuses. These are not all independent purchasing organizations. No equal age quotas or assumed overseas contracts are built into the pitch.
Management reports a lean MVP launched in June 2026, with career, employer and gamification features still being expanded and refined.
Approximately 40% of the intended MVP complete, with 4–6 months of remaining work for the core team.
Management reports a ₱500,000 angel commitment in tranches and active partnership discussions. This is not treated as cash collected or as signed MOAs. Patent publication status is reported by management.
Complete the intended end-to-end MVP, stabilize the experience and validate paying demand. Then expand mobile, learning, marketplace, AI support and the adventurer experience.
Later phases reinforce security and UX, expand service integrations, and build Venera as a persistent RPG world. Specialist funding changes the sequence and pace; revenue and retention must justify continued expansion.
The five-year simulator below shows the timing difference. The bootstrap game build remains beyond the planning window.
The indicative investment structure offers 10%–15% equity, depending on investor profile, strategic value and final negotiated terms.
Capital supports product completion, specialist ownership, commercialization, compliance and working capital over a planned 15–18-month horizon.
Indicative terms are subject to due diligence and definitive agreements. Funding is modeled as a one-time capital injection.

One career identity connects professional opportunity with adventurer progression. Credentials and real-world activities provide the evidence. Verification and the World Tree Engine are in development to connect credible experience with adventurer progression, skills and recognition.

Milestone dates and descriptions are founder-reported. January 2026 marks the idea revisit; the patent filing and team formation preceded it in 2025. IPOPHL publication reference remains to be attached; publication does not mean a granted patent. The 2025 amount is approximate; later 2026 spending is excluded until recorded.
Work and learning create the need; gaming and fandom provide an engagement pathway.

Regional values sum to the global model. Regional connectivity and preferences are not separately estimated; this is an expansion scenario, not a measured TAM or adoption forecast.
Workforce × age-adjusted entertainment affinity × digital reach. Gaming provides the numeric affinity proxy; movies and anime support the engagement rationale without adding overlapping audiences. The upcoming generation is a separate demographic pipeline, not an addition to today’s workforce.
Connect professional opportunity with achievement-driven adventure.
Venguild’s proposed differentiation connects evidence of skills and experience with professional opportunities and an achievement-based adventurer experience. This combination is designed to support ongoing engagement beyond job search; its value will be measured through repeat usage and opportunity outcomes.

Select the investment amount to compare product capacity, commercial adoption and financial performance against the bootstrap baseline.
Funding is received once in January 2027. Technical work begins in October 2026. Bootstrap budgets only four developer allowances and recurring operations. Marketing is zero through ₱100,000; funding above that baseline receives a 10% allocation until total funding covers baseline annual operations, then 20%. The one-time allocation is spread over the planned funding duration. Other founder compensation follows the funding rules. No automatic cash contribution is assumed; a negative balance shows the support needed.
At each annual review, spending capacity is limited to remaining cash and 90% of prior-year collected revenue. New hires need six months of funded cost; renewals are checked again annually. Future growth does not automatically create available cash.
Core delivery continues even when the cash plan is short. The report shows that shortfall explicitly. Specialist uplifts apply only during funded contracts and only to relevant initiatives. A specialist is not counted as full-time capacity in both web and mobile lanes.
Cloud scaling is an editable reserve, not an AWS quote; credits reduce covered AWS cash bills, not payroll or other services. Collection is assumed one month after revenue recognition. Payment fees apply to processed customer payments, including creator and marketplace GMV, excluding Google and affiliate earnings. Operating capacity uses before-tax cash. The Financial Statements section separately presents depreciation, tax provisions and net profit.
Compare all initiatives, estimated delivery windows and capacity gains side by side.
Commercial Platform Readiness covers the intended core MVP. Platform Expansion Completion extends through mobile, expanded services, 3D adventurers and PvP arena. Estimates cover remaining work; later security, service integration and Venera initiatives follow their delivery dependencies.
Five core technical founders remain in every scenario. Additional specialists are funded in source-sheet priority order. Hiring commitments are prioritized before allowance increases.
CCO is inside the 20% marketing allocation. Admin, HR/compliance and social media are Operations; allowances remain zero below ₱30M, then scale against the ₱50M reference scenario, subject to affordability.
Loaded costs use source salary, employer contribution and 13th-month/HMO planning provisions. Equipment and setup are charged once per role. Employment classification and actual statutory payroll must be confirmed before hiring.
Projected adoption, acquisition channels and monetization across 2026–2031. Review quarterly trends and underlying data below. These projections are model assumptions, not measured traction.
New registrations are calculated from channel assumptions and deduplicated. The registration goal is a comparison benchmark, not a ceiling; modeled results can exceed it. Existing school partners continue supplying referrals. SEO accumulates content and matures over six months. Sales follow commercial capacity, trials, churn and product availability—not a fixed percentage of the funding ask.
Funded scenarios reserve 20% for marketing, including the CCO. Bootstrap has no paid marketing allocation; founder-led outreach is unpaid. Social founder compensation remains in Operations. Specialists are funded first within their share; the remainder supports campaigns.
School events carry unused funds until an event is affordable. Fractional leads accumulate before a deal is counted. A new registration is not an activated or paying customer.
Annual ads are recognized monthly, not charged to revenue in full each month. Google earnings use net eligible page RPM; ad-free subscribers are excluded. Learning and marketplace revenue is Venguild's commission, not the seller's GMV. Affiliate commission defaults off until an approved agreement exists.
Unaudited financial forecasts · PHP · FY2027–FY2031. Income statements show earned revenue and expenses; cash-flow reconciliations show collections, investment and financing separately.
These are management forecasts in a standard financial-statement layout, not a claim of GAAP/PFRS compliance. A statutory balance sheet needs verified opening cash, receivables, assets, liabilities and equity. No opening balances have been invented.
Targets are modeled; no actual registration or sales baseline was supplied. Enter observed cohorts, closed deals and invoices before treating the forecast as a performance report.
From enterprise systems and Dubai dealmaking to community growth and hands-on engineering—different experiences, brought together to build Venguild.
About these figuresTeam-reported achievements from previous roles and businesses, across different periods and measures. These figures are not added together and do not represent Venguild revenue, traction or funds raised.
Our paths span technology, international studies, people systems, customer support and creative marketing. They have taken us through billion-peso budgets, real estate negotiations, audience growth and the daily discipline of building software. That experience shapes our belief: people deserve more ways to develop their potential and make it visible.
Experienced leaders and emerging builders have committed time, resources and skills to a working foundation. Our ambition is shared. Our responsibility is personal. We build, listen and improve—with clear ownership and the determination to earn users’ trust, one release at a time.

Market methodology: workforce totals use World Bank 2025 regional estimates and PSA August 2026 for the Philippine panel. Upcoming generation is 4/5 of the 2025 population aged 15–19, assuming even age distribution. Interest scenario uses broad gaming shares (PH ~60%, global ~43.9%), demographic age-retention proxies for excluding ages 9–17, then internet-use proxies (PH 67.3%, world 74%). Age-9–17 estimate = one-fifth of ages 5–9 + all ages 10–14 + three-fifths of ages 15–19. Retained share = 1 − estimated age-9–17 population / total population. Gamer participation is assumed proportional across ages; actual fandom age cross-tabs are unavailable. This multiplication transfers broad rates to workforce cohorts; it is not an observed intersection or adoption forecast. Movies/anime figures are context, not added populations.
