One Small Town

How To Launch One Small Town
in Your Town

NOTICE: Keep in mind that we are doing something very unique and very big. This has never been done before. There is no script or guide book to show us the way – we have to figure it out for ourselves and build it together. Our implementation plans have changed over the past 3 years as we learn from our experiences. This is the latest version which has shown to be most effective so far.

Please watch the Two Slide Presentations below to get a full perspective on the OST Implementation plan.
It all starts with a Town Ambassador:

All OST Initiatives require a local or town Ambassador who takes on the responsibility for all the preparations, inspiring the community, assemble the Support Team which will plan the full implementation, and compile the 12-month plan for your town.
A Country Ambassador is required to oversee the funding process through the OST Country office and ensuring that all legal requirements are upheld in the launch process. If there is no country Ambassador in your country, one needs to be appointed first before the initiative can be launched.

What you should know - Pre-launch Plan

  1. Ambassador is appointed by OST office.
  2. Ambassador assembles an implementation team of skilled people that have experience in planning, starting and managing businesses, town planning and community development programmes.
  3. Such as business planners, project managers, accountants, engineers, creative town planners, creative community project planners, arts, culture, sport, education, etc.
  4. Implementation Team holds a creative business think tank.
  5. Identify a list of 50 - 100 feasible, profitable businesses for the town.
  6. Ranging from small - medium - large - long term and high profit businesses.

  12. Plan a community kitchen where possible to provide 1 or 2 meals per day to members who participate in community upliftment projects.
  13. Initiate small community upliftment projects - to raise community spirit.
  14. Members who participate in community projects get an INFINITY token AND a plate of food from the community kitchen.
  15. Create investor pack and PR campaign to raise funds for OST business.
  16. Issue INVESTOR tokens for first OST business.
  17. Local residents get first preference to buy shares in their own businesses.
  18. If funds cannot be raised locally - offer investor token sales to the country, if still not enough funds, then offer investment to the rest of the world.
  19. A great way to crowd-fund our own businesses and keep full ownership local with the residents of our town.
  20. Repeat funding process with the rest of the business.
