8 founding slots. 8 trades. First come. Claimed slots close permanently. — see the board ↓
Founding Pro Invitation · Lake Norman, NC

Eight pros. Eight trades. One seat each.

YSKAIPE is opening with eight founding contractors — one company per trade, and one only. The founding slot is free for life — no subscription, no lead fees, no claim fees, for as long as you hold the standard. Five plain terms keep it, and they're printed right here. Everyone who joins after the eight pays.

Your leads are exclusive — first claim wins outright, never resold to four other companies. The homeowner's money sits in escrow before you drive out. And the Fair Rate Index is published, so nobody undercuts you in the dark.

One company per trade at launch. When a seat is claimed it closes — the trade is spoken for, and the badge goes on that company's public profile where every homeowner in the market can see it. A seat only reopens if a founding pro walks away or lets the standard slip. See what keeps a seat →

The founding slot

What you get. What we ask.

You get

  • Free for life. Not free for now — the eight are grandfathered for as long as the slot is held: no subscription, no lead fee, no claim fee, on either rail.
  • No card on file. Ever. Every other pro keeps a card on file to buy leads. The founding eight never do.
  • Exclusive. One company per trade at launch. You are not one of four contractors calling the same homeowner.
  • First claim wins. Tap it and it's yours. The lead closes to everyone else instantly.
  • Escrowed payment. The homeowner funds the job before you're dispatched. No invoice chasing.
  • Featured in launch. Site, LinkedIn, YouTube, print — as a founding contractor.
  • Loyalty score from day one. The eight accumulate the deepest track record on the platform.

We ask

  • Hold the five terms. Stay active, credentialed, reputable, on-platform, and the same company. Read them in full →
  • Answer your leads. Promptly. A seat that sits idle blocks the whole trade.
  • Your name in the launch. Company name and logo in launch marketing.
  • One introduction. The pro in another trade you'd let into your own house.
No fee. No term. No contract. Cancel any day. If it stops being worth it, walk away. The only thing you can lose is the seat itself — and only by letting the standard slip.
What keeps the slot

Free for life, not free for nothing.

We picked eight companies out of a market full of them. The slot stays free for as long as you're still the company we picked. That's five things, and there is no sixth — nothing below is buried in a contract you have to hunt for.

TERM 01

You stay active

Answer dispatched leads within 24 hours and complete at least one YSKAIPE job a quarter. Your trade is closed to everyone else — a seat nobody works leaves homeowners with no one to call.

TERM 02

You stay credentialed

Active trade license and general liability insurance on file at all times. If a policy lapses or a license expires, claiming pauses until it's current again.

TERM 03

You stay reputable

Keep your rating at or above the floor for your trade and close out disputes. The Fair Rate Index only means something if the pros behind it stand behind their work.

TERM 04

You stay on-platform

Homeowners we send you get quoted, scheduled, and paid through YSKAIPE. Anything you win on your own is yours and always will be — this is only about the work we hand you.

TERM 05

It stays your company

One company per trade, and the seat is not transferable. It's tied to the company we vetted, so it doesn't come along with a sale, a merger, or a change of ownership without our written consent. If you sell, tell us — we'd rather talk it through than find out later.

If something slips

You get a call, not a cancellation.

We tell you in writing what's off and you have 30 days to put it right. Nobody loses a seat over a slow month, a policy that took a week to renew, or one bad review you handled.

If it isn't corrected in those 30 days, the seat converts to standard pro terms and reopens to your trade. No clawbacks, no penalties, no exit fee — you simply move onto the same deal as every pro who joins after the eight. And you can come back: a reopened seat can be re-earned.

Why one per trade

Exclusivity isn't a feature. It's the math.

You've bought leads before. You know how it goes: four contractors get the same name, three of you waste the call, and everyone races to the bottom on price to win a job that was never worth the fee.

We built the opposite, and exclusivity is not a feature we added — it's the only way the math works. One pro per trade means every lead in your trade is yours. It also means we can only take eight of you, and it's why the seat carries terms: holding a whole trade is only fair to homeowners if somebody is actually holding it.

After the eight, the platform opens and new pros pay per lead. The founding slot isn't a discount. It's a different deal, and it closes.

Fair Rate Index

Nobody undercuts you in the dark.

The Fair Rate Index publishes what a job should cost in this market. It's free, it's public, and a homeowner doesn't have to be a customer to read it — so the conversation starts at the number instead of at the haggle.

Fair Rate Index
LowballOverpay

When someone quotes half the Index, they aren't beating you on skill — they're beating you on the corners they plan to cut, and now the homeowner can see it. We built YSKAIPE as a protocol, not a platform: the Index belongs to homeowners and honest pros. Read the Index →

The whole business

Where the homeowner's $400 actually goes.

This is the On-Demand · Qualified rail — standard jobs priced at the Index. Ten lines, because there are no other pages.

The Leads · Licensed rail works differently: bigger permitted work, you quote it yourself and bill the homeowner direct. Founding pros pay nothing on either rail while the seat is held.

Homeowner pays (Index price)$400
Held in escrow before you're dispatched$400
YSKAIPE platform fee (15%)−$60
Your cost to claim the job$0
You take home$340
Licensed & insured only

Verified means verified.

YSKAIPE leads go to real, licensed, insured pros — full stop. Your account, dashboard, trade agent, and lead alerts go live the moment you sign up. Claiming a lead unlocks once your license and insurance are verified, so a homeowner's contact never reaches someone who can't legally do the work.

Create your account and upload your trade license and certificate of insurance. Founding applicants: no card, no payment, nothing due.

2

3

Verification unlocks claiming

Once your license and insurance check out, the Verified Pro badge lights up and you can claim leads. Most reviews finish within one business day. We'll remind you before either one expires.

After the eight

After the eight, here's the standing deal.

Free to join, no subscription, and a small fee only on leads you claim — typically 0.5–1% of the job, with a floor and a cap. A small service call is a few dollars; even a $30,000 roof is capped at $150. Founding pros pay none of this for as long as they hold their seat.

On-Demand · Qualified

Standard jobs, Index-priced

The homeowner books at the Fair Rate Index price and funds it up front. You claim the job and go.

  • Priced at the Fair Rate Index
  • $0 to claim — 85 / 15 split
  • Escrowed before dispatch
  • Paid on confirmation
Leads · Licensed

Bigger permitted work

Projects a licensed trade has to scope and quote itself. We hand you the qualified lead; the job is between you and the homeowner.

  • You quote the job
  • Per-qualified-lead fee, 0.5–1%
  • Exclusive — first claim wins
  • You bill the homeowner direct

Founding pros: none of the above applies while your seat is held. No card, no lead fee, no claim fee, on both rails — on five plain terms. If a seat lapses, this page is the deal it converts to.

WinWinAI matching engine

How every lead finds the right pro.

1

Trade match

Primary trade = 100 pts. Secondary trade = 50 pts. No match = hard exclusion. This is a gate, not a penalty.

2

Verified Pro priority

Activates once your license and insurance are verified. Verified pros get a structural priority weight — the work goes to the pros who've checked out.

3

Geographic proximity

0–10 mi = 100%. 11–25 mi = 70%. 26–50 mi = 40%. Beyond your service radius = excluded.

4

Loyalty score

Tenure + jobs completed + response rate + referrals + review average. You accumulate from day one — the founding eight build the deepest track record on the platform.
