Introducing TasteCo
Your taste, incorporated.
Turn your taste into a company and sell shares in it. Your TasteCo grows as you grow, and the people who believe in you early can own a piece of what you become.

One umbrella for everything you create.
A TasteCo is a real company that holds all of your creative output under one name and one cap table.
It isn't tied to one product. Art, research, ventures and collaborations all live inside it, and it grows as your taste does.
What lives inside
ArtArt projects
AgentsAgentic businesses
AI-run ventures that make, sell and ship in your style around the clock.
CollabsCollaborations
Brand partnerships, co-created work and joint ventures with other founders.
ProductsProducts & drops
Physical goods, digital tools and limited releases.
ResearchScientific research
Studies, experiments and discoveries, plus the data and patents they produce.
IPIP & licensing
Music, designs, characters and formats others pay to use.
NextWhatever comes next
New mediums and ideas join the same company. No new paperwork.
Why it's valuable.
It compounds.
Every project builds the same company. Ten years of work stays in one place instead of scattering across side hustles and expired contracts.
Taste scales now.
Agents can execute while you decide. One person's taste can run many ventures at once, and all of them roll up to your TasteCo.
Backers own the arc.
Not one album or one product. A share of everything you make from here on.
How it works
You build. Believers buy in.
Humanipo works like the private market for startups, applied to people. Shares are issued privately, sold to verified investors and traded between them.
Step 1Incorporate
Form your TasteCo
We set up the company, the cap table and the paperwork. You stay the founder and the majority owner.
Step 2Raise
Sell shares privately
Offer a slice of your TasteCo to people who believe in you. You choose when to raise and how much to sell.
Step 3Trade
Open the secondary market
Shareholders can sell to other verified investors in scheduled trading windows, the way private company stock changes hands.
No public prices. Valuations and trade prices are never published. Only the people in a deal see its terms.
Where it started
First we took humans public.
Humanipo began with people selling shares in themselves. The founders and backers who joined that first version are the reason the next one exists.
2008
Mike Merrill sells 100,000 shares of himself and becomes the first publicly traded person.
Humanipo v1
Creators, founders and investors let their community buy shares in them.
Now
Anyone with taste can incorporate it and sell shares in what they become.
