Our Story

Why we're building The Twenty this way

A note from our founder, how the movement is growing, and why we're rolling out the £1,000,000 reveal in careful, tested phases rather than all at once.

Founder'sNote

A Letter From The Founder

"Could we create something that makes putting money aside feel more exciting?"

The Twenty started with that question. For years, saving and having a chance to win have been treated as completely separate experiences. We wanted to explore a different approach — one that puts saving at the centre, adds a genuine element of skill, and gives people the opportunity to take part in something bigger with their community. That's where The Twenty came from.

Your Vault is the foundation. Your Squad is the community. The Skill Test is the challenge. And the £1,000,000 prize is the long-term ambition. But we're not rushing to get there — we're building The Twenty in stages, testing each part carefully and making sure the foundations are right before we scale.

If you're on the waitlist, you're here at the beginning. Welcome to The Twenty.

A New Way To Think About Saving

Not a betting app. A new savings habit.

We're exploring a different way to make saving more engaging — combining a personal Vault, skill-based challenges and the power of community.

The Road To £1 Million

Why we're scaling carefully

Our long-term ambition is a £1,000,000 weekly prize reveal, supported by a community large enough to make the model sustainable. But in regulated finance, you don't build a skyscraper without testing the foundation first. Here's why we're rolling out The Twenty in secure, phased milestones rather than launching the £1M reveal on day one.

01

Building The Economics Responsibly

To fund a growing prize pool without ever touching the £15 held in your Vault, we need a specific volume of active members. Scaling our prize pools alongside our user base keeps the platform's economics sustainable.

02

Testing the Plumbing First

The £15 Vault allocation is being designed to remain separate from The Twenty's operating funds. The final banking and safeguarding structure will be established and disclosed before paid participation launches. In the meantime, we're stress-testing Crack the Vault, our skill-gate logic, and our banking APIs with smaller, high-frequency reveals first — we won't move faster than our infrastructure allows.

03

Regulatory Readiness

We're building The Twenty with regulatory requirements in mind from the beginning. Before paid participation launches, the applicable regulatory position, terms, safeguarding arrangements and operating partners will be confirmed and clearly disclosed.

The Ascent

Our phased rollout

As an early waitlist member, you aren't just joining a platform — you're helping build it. Here's how we scale together.

PHASE 01Testing the platform, together

Founding Community

  • Smaller initial prize events (e.g., £5,000 – £10,000).
  • Testing the Skill Test and Crack the Vault.
  • Testing the Vault experience.
  • Gathering feedback from founding participants.
  • Building the community and operational infrastructure.
PHASE 02Scaling with participation

Growth Events

  • As participation grows, prize values and event frequency can increase in line with the underlying economics and operational capacity.
  • £50,000 to £100,000 monthly events.
PHASE 03£1,000,000 weekly, at scale

The £1 Million Ambition

  • At sufficient scale, The Twenty aims to introduce a £1,000,000 weekly prize reveal.

By joining the waitlist today, you secure your place in Phase 1 — our founding community, where you help shape the platform from the very start.

An Honest Note

Why not start at £1 million?

Because we don't believe in pretending we're bigger than we are. A £1,000,000 weekly prize requires significant participation, robust technology, reliable banking infrastructure and an operating model that works at scale. So we're starting with the foundations.

Test the system. Build the community. Prove the model. Then scale the prize.

£1 million is the destination — not a promise from day one.
