ENVELOPER CORPS BUSINESS MODEL

The principle idea behind the ENVELOPER CORPS is that its Rapid Application Development (RAD) Tool "ENVELOP" is provided free of charge.  ENVELOP is not a typical "freeware" software program because it has a full time staff of developers ensuring its continued enhancement and quality.  The ENVELOPER CORPS business model is driven by membership fees, transaction fees from members that sell objects and applications through the ENVELOPER CORPS marketplace and other products and services provided to Envelopers.  There are no developers fees, no run time fees, no fees to incorporate ENVELOP into a product.

The ENVELOPER CORPS is committed to becoming a virtual community of the world's best developers supported through the World Wide Web where the collective genius of its members collaborate to make ENVELOP the world's best RAD tool.  In addition, the ENVELOPER CORPS will provide a marketplace where independent Envelopers can sell objects and applications to others for reasonable fees.
