Twenty Schools. €25,000.
Six Months.
Back the founding pilot of Blastbeat V2 — the AI-mentored Event Social Enterprise platform that turns classrooms, sports clubs and youth groups into real businesses.
After 23 years and 360,000 students across 11 countries, the model is proven. The pilot is what gives us the real-world data to unlock the next €2.25M seed round — and bring this to 50,000 students by the end of 2027. This is the moment the founding patrons step in.
A Pilot You Can Underwrite.
Twenty named schools. A free €1,250 six-month licence for each. Each licence twinned with one sponsor who gets a named, measurable relationship in return. Sponsor one school, sponsor five, or back the whole cohort.

Six Reasons This Is The Moment.
- 01Blastbeat V2 just shipped. The mobile-first, AI-mentored platform built with Trixta OS goes live in pilot schools on 18 May 2026. Twenty-three years of analogue Blastbeat became a product.
- 02The 23-year track record is verifiable. 360,000+ students, 11 countries, the Coca-Cola era in Ireland, the O2 Arena UK final, the Japan Foundation still running — this isn’t a thesis, it’s a continuation.
- 03The €250k seed tranche is the trigger. The 20-school pilot validates V2 at scale and generates the KPI evidence (adoption, completion, IA1/IA2 impact deltas) needed to unlock the next €2.25M from a wider seed round.
- 04Three legal homes — one programme. Climate Actions Now RSA (Pty) Ltd in South Africa, Climate Actions Now (UK) charity for UK Gift Aid, Climate Actions Now Ltd (Ireland) for Europe. Sponsor through the entity that fits your tax position.
- 05The Trixta OS leverage. Infra, AI, payments and platform plumbing are solved. Pilot capital goes into content, sales and country expansion — not engineering. Lean unit economics from day one.
- 06The path to 50,000 students. 8-month pilot (~1,400 students) → seed close → 2,000+ institutions / 50,000+ learners by end of 2027. Profitable scale, not project funding.
