Section I

Your Invitation

Bobby. You and I have had our time together, and the one thing I have always respected about you is that you pick apart everything I do. That means you have a level of attention that I do not possess — nor do I want to. You have a quiet, calm energy about you, and I do not think I have ever seen you raise your voice or get upset or get angry.

I have come to enjoy our talks. I have come to enjoy our time. And I respect your level of commitment to the clients you serve. But I also believe that you, sitting at the helm of operations with a full dashboard, would give us a worthy navigator — someone to make sure we are going in the right direction and accomplishing the goals this organization sets out to do.

I am inviting you down. I cannot bring everyone on full-time immediately, but the dominoes are going to fall just as soon as they can, and you are one of those first dominoes because I need the operational support. So I am telling you: I am inviting you as a Principal. If others do not accept a Managing Principal role, I am certainly willing to offer you that as well. But this comes with 4 Challenge Coins for you and your family.

You are in the New York area, which is close to our Serenity North property. And Bobby — I just have to say, I just like you. You are one of the few people in this world that I have known for a good period of time and I actually really like.

This is your invitation to be a Principal at the sovereign family office of the Haus of Black.

As a Principal, you receive 4 Challenge Coins, pro-rata capital distributions, full Black Vault access, and CBI pathway eligibility. This is a founding seat. There will be no others like it.


Section II

The Haus

The Haus of Black is a multi-generational family office designed to outlive its founder. It is not a fund, not a club, not an investment vehicle in the traditional sense. It is a sovereign governance structure — a system of laws, capital deployment, and legacy protection that operates on code, not personality.

The model is built on what we call The Lee Kuan Yew Principle: the understanding that the greatest structures in history were not built by consensus, but by principled architects who designed systems that functioned long after they were gone.

Within the Haus of Black, no one is above the code. Not the founder. Not the Managing Principals. Not any single principal. The governance documents, the operating agreements, and the succession protocols exist to ensure that the Haus survives leadership transitions, market cycles, and generational shifts.

This is what separates the Haus from everything else: it is built to compound across lifetimes, not just portfolios.


Section III

Your Role

As Chief Operating Officer and Team Principal for Black Circuit Racing, your mandate is operational execution. You are the person who ensures that what the Haus decides actually gets done. Strategy without execution is theory. You are the bridge.

Primary Responsibilities

  • Operational execution across House verticals
  • Team Principal for Black Circuit Racing
  • Converting strategic directives into ground-level results
  • Operational oversight of capital deployment logistics
  • Coordination with Managing Principals on execution timelines

Governance Role

  • Non-voting, advisory capacity. You attend governance meetings and contribute to discussions, but voting authority rests with Managing Principals.
  • Quarterly meeting attendance is welcome but not mandatory for Principals
  • Your operational perspective informs governance decisions and strategic direction
  • Advisory input on capital deployment related to operational verticals

Section IV

What You Receive

Financial

Capital distribution operates through the Logs on the Fire model. Every $10,000 deployed into a Haus vertical constitutes one Log. As verticals generate returns above the watermark, profits are distributed pro-rata to all principals based on their Log count.

Access — The Black Vault

As a Principal, you have full access to all five verticals of the Black Vault:

Five Verticals

  • Black Circuit — Motorsport & experiential ventures
  • Black Lodge — Hospitality, Homestead properties & retreat infrastructure
  • Black Sea — Maritime assets & aquatic operations
  • Black Sky — Aviation assets & air operations
  • Black Shield — Security, intelligence & protection services

Legal & Structural Protection

Legacy & Citizenship

Network

Ten curated principals. No anonymous investors. No silent partners. Every person at the table was selected for what they bring, not what they pay. Quarterly convenings bring this network together in person.


Section V

What Is Expected

The Principal tier carries meaningful responsibility within the Haus, calibrated to the advisory nature of the role:


Section VI

The Cost

Annual governance overhead per principal falls between $6,200 and $12,500, depending on the complexity of the year's operations. This covers the infrastructure that makes the Haus function:

ItemCoverage
South Dakota Dynasty Trust maintenanceIncluded
Wyoming HoldCo annual complianceIncluded
Legal counsel (Michael Kendall, $60/hr)Included
Accounting & tax coordinationIncluded
Quarterly compliance auditsIncluded
Entity maintenance & registered agentsIncluded

For perspective: an individual building this legal and structural architecture alone — the dynasty trust, the holding companies, the legal counsel, the compliance infrastructure — would spend 10 to 20 times this amount. The Haus exists because shared governance makes sovereignty affordable.


Section VII

Next Steps
