There is no information on the Crowd Rising website indicating who owns or runs the business.

Rather than disclose management details, Crowd Rising instead only provide the following:

Crowd Rising is a semi-automated system created by a group of 5 individuals who are funding and Founding members referred to as the 5 Horsemen.

The Crowd Rising website domain (“crowdrising.net”) was registered on the 26th of March 2016, with Gerhard Rempel listed as the owner. A residential address in Manitoba, Canada is also provided.

Rempel (right) first appeared on BehindMLM’s radar back in 2013, as co-owner of
Belizers
.

Belizers, now long since collapsed,  saw affiliates invest between $10 and $25 on the promise of an advertised 150% ROI.

In mid-2015 Rempel resurfaced as the admin of
Fast Perpetual Cash Cyclone
. Also collapsed, Fast Perpetual Cash Cyclone was an ad-credit Ponzi scheme.

Rempel purportedly launched the scam to ‘
raise funds to get surgery to sow and patch up (his) nasty groin hernia
‘.

The Crowd Rising Product Line

Crowd Rising has no retailable products or services, with affiliates only able to market Crowd Rising affiliate membership itself.

The Crowd Rising Compensation Plan

Crowd Rising sees affiliates purchase $20 positions in a 5×10 matrix.

A 5×10 matrix places an affiliate at the top of the matrix, with five positions directly under them (level 1):

These initial five positions form the first level of the matrix. The second level of the matrix is generated by splitting each of the first five positions into another five positions each (25 positions).

Subsequent levels of the matrix are generated in the same manner, with each level of the matrix housing five times as many positions as the previous level.

In total, a complete 5×10 matrix has 12,207,030 positions.

Positions in the matrix are filled via recruitment of new Crowd Rising affiliates, with each $20 signup filling one position in the matrix.

Funds are gifted between Crowd Rising affiliates within the matrix.

An affiliate starts by gifting $20 to the affiliate who recruited them. This qualifies them to receive $20 from five subsequently recruited affiliates.

Once the first level of their matrix is filled, they then need to gift another $40 to the affiliated who recruited them.

In this manner all ten levels of the matrix are unlocked as follows:

level 1 – gift $20 to your upline and receive $20 from five subsequently recruited affiliates

level 2 – gift $40 to your upline and receive $40 from 25 affiliates

level 3 – gift $60 to your upline and receive $60 from 125 affiliates

level 4 – gift $100 to your upline and receive $100 from 625 affiliates

level 5 – gift $200 to your upline and receive $200 from 3125 affiliates

level 6 – gift $300 to your upline and receive $300 from 15,625 affiliates

level 7 – gift $400 to your upline and receive $400 from 78,125 affiliates

level 8 – gift $500
