Is Elepreneurs a pyramid scheme?

The most-asked question

Is it legit?

What is documented from credible/primary-style sources:

  • The parent, Sharing Services Global Corporation (SHRG), is a real, publicly reporting company that files with the SEC [web]. SEC filings note the business's financial history, including reported operating losses in its earlier years [web].
  • There was significant litigation and a governance dispute involving founder Robert Oblon. Sharing Services / Elepreneurs / Elevacity and Oblon were parties to civil litigation in Texas; a settlement agreement was dated July 26, 2019, and the company announced a global settlement of disputes with Oblon, Jordan Brock and Alchemist Holdings in March 2020 [web]. In a February 2020 memo to affiliates the company accused Oblon of "gross financial misconduct" and removed him from leadership [web].
  • In December 2020, purported investors in a related entity (Four Oceans Global) filed suit against the company and affiliated parties in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas over a 2015 investment [web].
  • The business has contracted sharply. A direct-selling trade profile describes annual revenue falling steeply in recent years and marks the company "(Out of Direct Selling)" [web]. The specific annual revenue figures are not publicly documented in primary or official sources — they come from an MLM-industry trade profile rather than an audited financial or regulator — so no dollar amounts are relayed here. BehindMLM's March 2026 update states the operation had "collapsed" with promoters reporting non-payment — an attributed report to verify, not a regulatory finding [web].

What this draft could NOT confirm and did not include: No verified U.S. FTC or SEC enforcement action, injunction, or pyramid-scheme finding against Elepreneurs/Elevacity was located; a search-summary claim of a 2018 FTC injunction and a TINA.org income-claims count could NOT be corroborated (TINA.org showed no Elevacity article) and is therefore excluded. Reviewer criticisms about recruitment emphasis and "pay-to-play" autoship are allegations/opinions from MLM-review sources, not adjudicated findings. A human must confirm current legal/operating status.

What is Elepreneurs?

Plain-language overview

Overview

Elepreneurs is no longer an active, joinable opportunity. A direct-selling trade profile marks the business as "(Out of Direct Selling)," and a March 2026 BehindMLM update reported the operation had collapsed with promoters reporting non-payment [web]. What follows is a historical record.

Elepreneurs was the network-marketing (MLM) sales arm of a wellness-products business built around "nootropic"-infused coffee and supplements, most famously marketed as "Happy Coffee." The retail brand was Elevacity; Elepreneurs was the affiliate/business-opportunity side of the same operation [web]. Both were owned by Texas-based Sharing Services Global Corporation (formerly Sharing Services, Inc.), a publicly reporting company that files with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (OTC ticker SHRG; earlier SHRV) [web].

The retail brand Elevacity launched in the mid-2010s, and the Elepreneurs affiliate opportunity was launched in 2017 by founder Robert Oblon [web]. (Sources differ on Elevacity's exact founding year — BehindMLM references ~2014, while some trade profiles cite 2016 — so the precise start date should be verified.) In 2021 the business rebranded again as The Happy Co. [web].

Products have centered on "Elevate" coffees marketed as mood/energy "smart coffee," plus supplements (e.g., a product marketed as "D.O.S.E"), topical patches, teas, and skincare items [web]. This profile treats "Elepreneurs / Elevacity / The Happy Co." as one evolving entity.

How it worksThe day-to-day reality of participating

How it works

Participants joined as affiliates (variously called "Elepreneurs," brand partners, or distributors) who could buy products at a member price and resell them, and who could recruit other affiliates into a downline organization [web].

According to third-party MLM reviews, the Elepreneurs website itself did not host retail products; affiliates sold from the Elevacity product catalog, while Elepreneurs handled the compensation/opportunity side [web]. Income was described as coming from two directions: retail margin on product sales to customers, and team/downline bonuses tied to the volume generated by recruited affiliates and their organizations [web].

Reviewers have repeatedly noted that qualification for many commissions depended on the affiliate's own monthly product purchases (autoship) and on recruiting, which those reviewers characterized as a recruitment-and-"pay-to-play" emphasis rather than a purely retail model [web]. Treat the balance of retail vs. recruitment as a documented criticism from MLM-review sources, not an official company characterization.

What it costs to join

Starter cost and the ongoing spend

Cost to join

Historical record — Elepreneurs is not currently a joinable opportunity; the description below is how enrollment was structured while it operated.

Multiple third-party reviews described a basic annual affiliate membership fee, optional higher-cost enrollment/product packs, and a recommended or qualification-linked monthly autoship. The specific dollar amounts — for the membership fee, the autoship minimum, and the enrollment packs — are not publicly documented in primary or official sources; they appeared only on MLM-review sites and affiliate pages, which this draft could not independently confirm. What was consistently reported was the structure: a low annual membership fee, optional product packs at enrollment, and an ongoing autoship tied to commission qualification [web].

How you'd make moneyThe compensation plan explained

Compensation

The compensation plan is described in third-party reviews as a multi-tier plan with a ladder of affiliate ranks (reviews cite roughly a dozen or more ranks, from an entry "brand/partner" level up to top "ambassador"-style ranks), advancing on accumulated personal and downline volume [web]. Reviews describe both unilevel and binary-style elements across the plan's history, so the exact structure at any given date should be confirmed against an official plan document [web].

Commonly described mechanics include: retail/wholesale margin on product sales; fast-start / pack recruitment bonuses paid when a new affiliate buys an enrollment pack; check-match / infinity-style bonuses on downline earnings; and leadership bonus pools funded from a percentage of company-wide sales and shared among higher ranks [web].

Do not treat any specific percentage, bonus amount, or rank-cap figure as verified. The numeric details (specific commission percentages, per-pack recruitment bonus dollar amounts, monthly income caps by rank, and pool percentages) are not publicly documented in primary or official sources — they appear only in MLM-review blogs and marketing pages, which this draft could not independently confirm. Any such number would need to be checked against an official compensation-plan PDF before publication.

Who it's for

Historical record — Elepreneurs is not currently a joinable opportunity; this describes who it was aimed at while it operated.

Based on the documented model, this was a direct-selling opportunity aimed at people comfortable retailing wellness/coffee products and building a recruited team, since reviewers described income as depending on both product resale and downline volume [web].

For anyone who weighed it while it was active, the ongoing autoship tied to commission qualification and the enrollment-pack costs meant recurring outlay before any profit [web]; the documented steep revenue decline and trade-profile note that the company was "out of direct selling" underscored the opportunity's collapse [web]. Because it is no longer active, product and income claims associated with it should be treated as historical. This is research, not advice — no earnings or health outcome is endorsed here.

Frequently asked

Is this opportunity verified?

This opportunity is not formally verified. In plain terms it’s listed as unverified—a label in our records, not a seal of approval from regulators. Before you send money or sign, line up recruiter promises against official filings and documents you can verify yourself.

How does this opportunity work?

To walk through mechanics step by step, you’ll need the company’s own compensation plan and product terms—we don’t have enough on this profile to do that fairly. Read those documents cover to cover, then compare to what you’re hearing in recruitment.

What are the risks?

We haven’t set a risk band on this listing yet. Until you’ve read the company’s risk factors and filings, assume outcomes are wide open—not “average” or “typical.”

Can you actually earn?

Some people do well; many don’t. Income tracks the comp plan, your effort, and market realities—not marketing examples. Ignore leaderboard screenshots as proof of what you’ll earn; they’re single cases with different costs and timing than yours.
