Investment Highlights

A live platform, not a pitch idea.

Every claim below ships in production today. The deck below walks through the full thesis.

Live production platform

dum.club is publicly deployed. Merchant onboarding, customer checkout, and the discover marketplace are operational today.

Real Stripe payments processing

Stripe Connect Standard is live. Direct merchant payouts. DUM Club never holds funds.

Flat monthly SaaS model

$29 to $99 a month. Predictable recurring revenue. 78% projected gross margin by Year 2.

0% platform commission

Merchants keep every sale. Stripe processing fees are paid by the buyer at checkout, not by the seller.

Merchant website embed

One script tag turns any website into a live flash-deal storefront with Stripe checkout and DUM Points loyalty.

Cross-merchant loyalty network

DUM Points (1 pt = $0.10 of merchant credit) earned at any merchant, redeemable across the entire network.

Founder

The platform was built by a working merchant.

Julian Mero is an FAA-certified aviation mechanic and the founder of Topgun Maintenance LLC. He built DUM Club end-to-end because every existing platform took a cut of every job. Today Topgun Maintenance is the first verified merchant on the network and serves as the live case study for the rest of the founding 100.

FAA-certified A&P mechanic, IA

AOG team experience and 12+ years across corporate, charter, rotorcraft, and airline categories. Valedictorian, Teterboro School of Aeronautics.

Founder, Topgun Maintenance LLC

Mobile aviation maintenance serving corporate jets across the Northeast. Founding Merchant #1 on DUM Club, live on the platform today.

Built DUM Club end-to-end

Next.js, FastAPI, Supabase, Stripe Connect, Privy, AWS IVS, plus Solana smart contracts in Rust. Bilingual (English + Spanish), based in Morris County, NJ.

“I built DUM Club because I run a real business. I was tired of platforms taking a cut every time I made a sale.”
