Every big thing starts with one yes.

OneYes is a feed of small ideas looking for their first backers. Give an idea a yes for €1. Each yes you give earns you a turn to post your own.

Built in Alicante, Spain. Try the demo

Twelve yeses fill the figure. It's free here.

Most ideas die in silence.

Every big thing started small. A note on a phone. A sentence said out loud at dinner. A "what if" on the way home.

Most of those ideas never get a second day. Nobody says no to them. Nobody says anything.

One yes changes that. One euro from a stranger who picked your idea out of a hundred.

How OneYes works

Three things to know. The whole app is built around them.

3 Yes

A feeder that only opens for your cat

Reads the tag on your cat's collar, so the neighbour's cat stops eating dinner. First batch of 20.

Try it: drag the card up, save an idea, give a yes. Example ideas and a demo balance, no real money.

  1. Swipe through ideas

    One idea per screen: what someone wants to make, who they are and how much they need. Drag up for the next one. The feed learns from what you stop to read.

  2. Give a yes for €1

    Like an idea? Save it. Believe in it? Give it a yes. About 56 cents of each yes reaches the creator, and the idea's total appears the moment you give it.

  3. Post yours by voice

    Each yes you give earns you a turn. Talk about your idea for up to a minute and OneYes drafts the card: title, two-line description and a concept image. You edit it before it goes live.

Back one.Post one.

You can't post an idea on OneYes until you've backed someone else's. One yes given, one turn earned. Everyone asking for support has already given some, and every new idea arrives with real euros already moving toward somebody's goal.

1 yes given earns 1 turn to post

Where your euro goes

A yes costs €0.99 in the app. We show the whole split, because you should know who gets what. Each dot below is one cent.

Ideas can fail. People can't vanish.

A yes works both ways. You give €1 and a bit of belief. The creator answers with progress, in public. These rules make sure nobody can collect the money and go quiet.

Money follows proof

Creators receive the money in three parts. Each part needs something backers can see.

  1. 0%CollectingYeses arrive. Nothing is paid out before the goal.
  2. 40%Fundedwhen the goal is reached
  3. Proof 1
    30%First proofafter the first proof: photos or video of a real first step
  4. 30%Donewhen the idea is done and shown

With a flexible goal that isn't reached, the first part is paid at day 90, as 40% of what was raised.

Silence has a timer

Every creator posts updates. When they stop, this happens.

  1. 30 daysWithout an update, we remind the creator.
  2. 60 daysThe idea is paused and payouts stop.
  3. 90 daysThe unpaid part goes back to backers as Yes, and the profile shows "Didn't deliver".

Goals grow with a track record

A first idea can ask for up to €300. After one delivered idea, up to €2,000. After three, up to €10,000. Any goal is open to a verified company with five delivered.

  • Proof you can check

    Every stage comes with photos or video and a short note. Backers tap "Looks right" or "Something's off". If a stage gets flagged, a person on our team reviews it before the next payout.

  • Every profile shows its record

    Delivered, Building and Didn't deliver, in public. One person gets one creator profile, and we check their ID before the first payout.

  • A plan for the money

    Every card says what the money will buy, so you can hold each proof up against the plan.

  • Honest failure is allowed

    Some ideas won't work, and that's fine. A creator who posts an "It didn't work" update with the reasons keeps their profile, and the unpaid part goes back to backers. Only silence gets penalised.

  • Report in two taps

    We review reports and remove scams, copied ideas and anything illegal. Personal fundraisers and investment offers are not allowed.

  • All-or-nothing returns your yes

    If an all-or-nothing idea misses its goal, your yes comes back as credit to give to another idea.

These payout rules are planned for launch. We may adjust the details with our payment partner before OneYes goes live, and this page will say so if we do.

What a yes is, and what it isn't

A yes backs a person's attempt. You are not buying a product or a share, and nobody can promise an idea will work. Follow the updates and decide who to back next.

Every idea gets a fair look

The feed is built so a first-time maker in a small town can be seen next to a startup with a marketing budget.

  • Counts are hidden in the feed

    Totals and likes stay out of sight, so you judge the idea and not the crowd. Creators see their own likes.

  • Nobody can pay to rank higher

    There are no boosts and no ads in the feed. Money only moves as yeses.

  • Every new idea gets its first 100 views

    Whoever posts it, a new idea is shown to its first hundred people before the feed decides where it goes next.

  • Your feed stays curious

    It adapts to what you read and back, and keeps about one card in five outside your usual interests.

For makers: from a €100 printer to a €1M robot

Set a goal and you get a 90-day window. Small goals fill fast. Bigger ones open up as you deliver.

  • €100 3D printerabout 180 yeses
  • €1,200 first batchabout 2,160 yeses
  • €1,000,000 prototypeabout 1.8 million yeses

Your first idea can ask for up to €300. After one delivered idea, up to €2,000. After three, up to €10,000. Any goal is open to a verified company with five delivered. Before your first payout we verify your identity and bank account through our payment partner.

For backers: see ideas before anyone else

A yes costs less than a coffee and gets you a front-row seat to somebody's first attempt.

  • The total stays hidden until you say yes

    Then you see how much the idea has raised, and whether you got there early.

  • My yeses keeps everything you backed

    Every idea you gave a yes to sits in one list, with progress updates from its creator.

  • Your scout record grows

    It counts how many of the ideas you backed early went on to reach their goal.

Questions people ask

Something else on your mind? Write to hello@oneyes.app.

What is OneYes?

OneYes is an iPhone app where people post small ideas and others back them for €1 each. Every yes you give to someone else's idea earns you a turn to post your own.

How much does a yes cost?

One yes costs €0.99 as an in-app purchase. You can also buy packs: 6 for €4.99, 12 for €9.99 and 30 for €24.99. New accounts get one yes free.

How much of my euro reaches the creator?

About €0.56 of a €0.99 yes, for a purchase in Spain. The rest covers VAT (about €0.17), Apple's App Store fee (about €0.12) and the OneYes fee (about €0.14).

Why do I have to back an idea before I can post mine?

It keeps OneYes fair. Everyone who asks for support has given some first, so every new idea arrives from someone who already backs other people.

What kind of ideas can I post?

Things you want to make or start: a product, a tool, a small business, a creative project. Personal fundraisers, charity appeals and investment offers are not allowed.

What happens if an idea doesn't reach its goal?

It depends on the goal type the creator picked. With a flexible goal, the creator keeps what was raised after 90 days, paid in three parts as they show progress. With all-or-nothing, backers get their yes back as credit to give to another idea.

When do creators get paid?

In three parts. 40% when the goal is reached, or at day 90 for a flexible goal that wasn't reached. 30% after the first proof of progress, and the last 30% when the idea is done. Before the first payout the creator verifies their identity and bank account. These rules are planned for launch.

What if a creator takes the money and disappears?

They can't take it all at once. Money is released in three parts, each after proof that backers can see. If a creator goes 60 days without an update, payouts stop. At 90 days the unpaid part goes back to backers as Yes, and the profile shows Didn't deliver. Ideas can fail. People can't vanish.

What if an idea doesn't work out?

That can happen, and it's allowed. The creator posts an update saying it didn't work and why, the unpaid part goes back to backers as Yes, and the creator keeps their profile. Only silence gets penalised.

Can someone steal my idea?

You decide how much to share. Post the problem you solve and your first step, and keep the details you consider secret.

Is OneYes investing or gambling?

Neither. You get no shares, interest or prizes. A yes is support for someone's project, and in return you can follow its progress.

Why can't I see how much an idea has raised?

So you judge the idea and not the crowd. The total appears right after you give a yes.
