ROICP Lead Gen is a for-profit business, not a 501(c)(3) charity. Gifts are not tax-deductible. A gift buys no product, service, equity, token, or future return. Card gifts get an automatic emailed payment receipt from Stripe showing the amount, date and "ROICP Lead Gen". That receipt is a record of payment, not a tax receipt. Gifts are non-refundable except in cases of error; email smurphy@roicpleadgen.com within 14 days.
Where the money goes
Servers & AI compute
Our production and AI servers run the lead database, the STI scoreboard and the AI agents. Compute is our biggest monthly cost.
Student education
The free six-week ROICP Global Talent Academy: synthetic-data lessons, mentor time, no fees for students ever.

We're happy to share the plan, the numbers we actually have, and what's live versus in development. We make no promises of returns, valuations or token prices. ROICP Coin is not for sale.
