Founder's Time Invested in Angel 8 Development & Education
Over the course of building Angel 8, the founder invested more than 5,000 hours of unpaid time—while still working full-time hours at Prestige Electric. Most days involved 16+ hours of work, with some stretches reaching 20 hours a day, and even 24+ hour continuous sessions. Sleep was often limited to just 3–5 hours per night—proving just how deeply this mission matters.
This time was spent learning, planning, and executing critical systems that would typically take an entire team of professionals:
- IRS nonprofit structure and 501(c)(3) requirements
- Legal structure separating nonprofit and for-profit arms
- E-commerce compliance and secure checkout infrastructure
- Site policy creation (terms, privacy, refunds, cookies, etc.)
- Multi-page site design with donor funnel and automation
- Custom marketplace setup (1,300+ items listed manually)
- Affiliate and vendor integration (Amazon, Walmart, Faire, FedEx, UPS, Shippo, etc.)
- Custom donation badge program + supporter tiers
- Graphic design and branding across multiple entities
- Church outreach, blog campaigns, and nonprofit marketing
- Security metrics and risk mitigation research
This isn’t a 4-year business degree. It’s equivalent to 8–12 years of hands-on business, marketing, legal, nonprofit, and e-commerce training—learned and applied in real time under pressure.
Valuation of Time:
This estimate reflects the time spent just on Angel 8 Wings. Time spent across the rest of the companies and ecosystem (including Synergy, Prestige 888, and the crypto systems) will be calculated in the final section.
