Stackmates
For the DeBiz Ecosystem: Seamless, Persuasive, and Human-Centric
Marketing Plan
1. Mission & Positioning
Empower every business-regardless of technical skill-to thrive in the phygital world by bundling decentralized infrastructure, AI, and crypto into a seamless, modular team of “mates.” Stackmates is your digital mycelium: every component is a mate, working together to automate, earn, and scale with zero friction.
Positioning Statement:
“Stackmates: Your decentralized business team. Each mate is an expert, working together so you can focus on what matters-growing your business and your impact.”
2. Core Principles
- Proof of Real Connection: Prioritize authentic, verifiable community engagement over generic AI-driven noise.
- Modular Teamwork: Every tool, protocol, or service is a “mate”-flexible, interoperable, and approachable.
- Radical Accessibility: Lower the barrier for “normal people” to participate in DePIN, AI, and crypto.
- Persuasive Simplicity: Make it impossible not to fall into a pit of success-frictionless onboarding, clear value, and visible outcomes.
3. Persuasion Playbook
Leverage the science of persuasion (Ethos, Logos, Pathos, Kairos, Topos):
Principle | Application in Stackmates Marketing |
---|---|
Ethos | Showcase real users, open-source roots, and transparent ops |
Logos | Quantify time/cost saved, token rewards, and integrations |
Pathos | Tell stories of “mates” helping users achieve more |
Kairos | Launch at moments of tech overwhelm and digital fatigue |
Topos | “Teamwork” and “mateship” as universal, relatable values |
Persuasion Tactics
- Feed their dreams: Show how Stackmates automates complexity, freeing users to focus on their goals.
- Empathize with failures: Highlight stories where Stackmates rescued businesses from digital chaos.
- Allay fears: Transparent onboarding, visible rewards, and real-time support.
- Investigate suspicions: Open code, verifiable rewards, and clear documentation.
- Help fight their enemy: Position Stackmates as the antidote to overwhelming, siloed, and predatory SaaS.
4. Platform & Channels

- “Plug & Play Success”-showcase real use cases and outcomes.
- Community:
- Discord/Tribe/Slack for onboarding, support, and feedback.
