Just Badge Worldwide (JBW): A venture studio in formation that aims to rapidly develop and deploy portfolio applications with pre-secured distribution channels.

What ELITE Actually Is: ELITE is a membership platform we're building that connects technical experts with non-technical founders who need help building products with AI and low-code tools. Think of it as a structured, gamified community where:

Technical experts (developers, automation specialists) help non-technical founders build products through video sessions and collaborative sprints

These interactions are tracked, verified, and showcased in member profiles as professional credentials

Members earn points, badges, and status based on their contributions and expertise

The platform facilitates both paid project work and learning opportunities
