Multisite start-up

Hi,

This is my first topic/post here and I hope I’m not braking any rules.

My project is both philanthropical and revolutionary. We do not reinvent the wheel, we just analyzed the business plans of the best websites in each web development field (envato, freelancer etc) and took all the good aspects from them and exclude all the bad things and come up with a new concept. I would love to tell you more but not in a public place.
Anyway… here it goes…
Problem data:
I want to setup a wordpress multisite network and install a total of 7 themes (for the start), each of them installed in sub-domains. Each theme will serve a different service (learning platform, marketplace, job board etc). So each theme will follow the same design pattern but different layout and obviously different plugins in order to have dedicated functions / features like: (on the learning platform, there will be two types of account: teacher and student, each with different dashboard. Teachers will also be able to create courses from front-end. Same story for the marketplace: “You want to sell or you want to buy?”)
Users should register from one place, so I thought to redirect each “register / login” button from all the websites in the network to the Main Website. After a user registers an account, that account should be available across the network.
User registers on Main Site > Logs in on Main Site > Navigate to Site7 from the network > That user will already be logged in, BUT, the first time he enters Site7, he will be asked what type of account (role) he wishes to create for that website. So in other words, users decide what accounts they want and by doing this, it means users are creating custom accounts. I don’t have this multisite network live and I never tested your plugin but as far as I read about you (and also the replies on other topics), you seem to be a good developer and a wonderful person so I hope you’ll accept to get involved.
I would like very much to have a small chat with you on Skype (I know you often decline this but I hope I got your attention) so I can give you more details about the project.
If this will work, we’re going to be funded.
I purchased most of my themes from the marketplace that it’s name begins with “EN” and finishes with “VATO”. I searched for them for about 1 year and I’m pretty sure that the quality is good. Also, bought some plugins for managing users but I have a feeling that I wasted my money (anyway…).

Questions:
1. Can your plugin work like described? After a user registers on one website, will that user be able to login on any website from the network?
2. Is this method automatic? After the settings are made, will the Super Admin (me) have to do something else or the plugin will run in the back and do all the work without human intervention to copy users or things like that?
3. As far as I understand, after they register and login on the Main Website and navigate to another website from the network, they will see a button “Join” and when they click that button, the account will be linked to that website also. Pretty neat stuff. Users will do the job of copying the account credentials instead of the admin (like it was in the past). Am I right?
4. Is there a possibility to add a new feature where the user will be asked what role does he/she wishes to use for that website? If so, can this be handled by the sql to remember what role for what user on what website? Or the role is just one for every websites within the network? If that’s the case, can you help me achieve what I need?

If I wasn’t so sure about getting funded, I wouldn’t waste your time at all with this long post. The future is bright for my project, as long as it will work as I planned. My ace from my sleeve is my business plan and strategy. Not the code itself. We can revolutionize the whole industry of web development agencies, we can improve the quality of the projects, we can deliver an infinite number of websites to clients and we’ll also be able to give smaller prices to clients for better services. We’ll help teenagers all around the world to learn, create and earn money.

All I need right now is a little of your time and willing to hear my idea. I don’t want to share the details with anyone else.
