Own the TEAM. Shape the Future of Rugby in Atlanta
Join the Copperheads RLFC Equity Program, by doing what you'd do anyway which builds a sustainable, community-owned rugby club one person at a time.
HOW DO WE CLIMB THE MOUNTAIN TOGETHER?
GROWING THE VALUE OF OUR Equity
The Community-Owned ModEL
Most teams are owned by one person as a trophy asset and supported by many. We’re building the opposite.
Our model rewards sustainable growth, not reckless leaps. Atlanta gives us a rare advantage, a clear ladder of stadiums that lets the club scale step by step without outgrowing our city.
That means early supporters help build the foundation, create the momentum, and stand to benefit directly when the club’s value grows and key milestones are achieved.

HOW DOES THIS WORK?
Equity STRUCTURE
EQUITY MODEL OverView
For too long, communities have been asked to subsidize stadiums while the person holding the trophy asset keeps the team. We’re building the opposite.
The Copperheads are creating a model where the people who help build the club can have a real stake in what it becomes.
That means sustainable growth, local accountability, and a club built with the community, not extracted from it.
The CLASS C dilutable EQUITY POOL
-
2.5% community pool for fans, sponsors, and players
-
Earn involvement by supporting, sponsoring, or playing
-
Wix CRM tracks your contributions
-
Join a private WhatsApp group for updates and community discussion
-
Group can vote a fan representative into an advisory role
-
Once built, FairShare will allow eligible members to transfer warranted equity with each other
-
If the club reaches pro standard organically, this pool locks in, and can vote a fan onto the board
-
If the club reaches pro standard, stays independent, holders may share in an annual dividend
-
If the club takes major outside investment, holders receive a cash payout per the agreement
The CLASS B DILUTABLE EQUITY POOL
-
7.5% builders pool for coaches, key players, volunteers, and key contributors
-
Earned through work, milestones, leadership, and contribution
-
Tracked primarily with a timesheet
-
When FairShare is developed it will allow people in this pool to transfer warranted equity with each other
-
If the club reaches pro standard organically, this pool locks in and potentially gains 3 board seats
-
If independent, holders may share in an annual dividend
-
If major outside investment comes in, holders receive a cash payout per the agreement
CLASS A SHARES
-
40% minus 1 share which is the non-controlling interest
-
Protecting this part of the cap table is critical for B and C holders
-
Best case is to grow organically and avoid unnecessary dilution
-
If capital is needed, investors must be deeply vetted for alignment to our community
-
Right-fit capital can accelerate growth, wrong-fit capital can damage the mission
-
Sale of significant portion of Class A shares translate into realized financial value
-
Exact economic and authority rights are defined in the final agreements
