About
The marketplace, and the paperwork that makes each trade real.
Founders trade small equity for the experts who have done it before. Every trade is papered, every milestone tracked. Ownership starts flowing to the people doing the building.
What we do
Three jobs, and the second one is the hard one.
A marketplace can introduce two people. Only a compliance engine can make the trade between them enforceable.
We run the marketplace
Founders publish a company and post opportunities. Experts publish what they have actually done and the terms they will work on. Investors set a thesis and filter on it. Discovery runs on structured signals rather than keywords.
We generate the agreement
When both sides agree, the equity arrangement and its milestone schedule are generated in the product and signed before work starts. Nothing moves until it is signed, so nobody is relying on a handshake.
We keep the record
Milestones, vested equity, contributions and data-room access are recorded as they happen. That record is what makes a trade hold up later, and what turns a career into something you can point at.
What is in the product
Everything the trade needs, and nothing it does not.
Member profiles
Career highlights, primary discipline, industry expertise, availability and the hours you actually have. One profile, three ways to be found.
Company profiles
Problem statement, why now, business model, customer segments, stage, team, incorporation details and the metrics investors ask for first.
Opportunities with milestones
Milestone-based roles with equity, hours, duration and work mode stated on the card. Draft, open, matched, completed — the whole lifecycle.
Fit-ranked applicants
Applications arrive with a cover note and rank against the structured signals you set, so review is triage rather than a slush pile.
Data rooms
Custom groups and per-person grants on any folder or file, download control and an expiry on each grant, watermarking, a protected viewer, versioned files and a full audit trail. Free, all of it.
Earned Conviction
A read-only record on every company profile: the experts who took equity to work on it, the milestones verified, and when each metric was last updated. Founders cannot edit it, which is exactly why it is worth reading.
Real-time messaging
Conversations delivered as they are sent, with the opportunity or company they came from attached, plus files and read state. Investors and experts can reach a founder directly.
Document signing
Send a document for signature with the fields placed where they belong — signature, initials, name, date, text, checkbox — one set per recipient. The signed original and its evidence stay together. Also free.
Feed
Pitch decks, product demos, company intros, progress updates and more, shown one at a time, full screen. Each one as the founder made it, not as somebody summarised it.
Investment Asks
Publish the raise itself: the amount, the instrument, the market being sized and what the money unlocks, next to metrics that already carry a date.
Verified identity
Members can opt in to a government ID and selfie check. A Verified badge records the identity check, not their company, employment or qualifications.
Multi-currency, cross-border
Metrics, check sizes and raise targets in the reporting currency that fits, with country-aware discovery.
Launching in Australia and the United Kingdom, October 2026. New markets open as each jurisdiction’s paperwork is built.
Where we stop
Infrastructure, not advice.
Being clear about what we are not is the only thing that makes the rest of it trustworthy.
We do not give advice
GetSweaty is infrastructure. We do not tell you whether an engagement is worth taking, whether the equity is fairly priced, or whether a company is a sound investment. Take your own legal, tax and financial advice.
We do not vouch for companies
Members publish their own information. The optional Verified badge records an identity check. It does not verify a company, employment, qualifications or future performance.
We do not hold your equity
The agreement is between the company and the contributor. We generate it, record it, and keep both sides on the same signed document. The cap table stays the company's own.
Why we bother
From a cash economy to an ownership economy.
Cash rents talent by the hour. Ownership aligns it for the whole journey. When effort earns equity, the people building the company are the people who win when it works.
That is the shift we are building for, and it only becomes real one papered trade at a time.
Effort in, equity out
We open in Australia and the United Kingdom in October 2026. Apply now and we will write as soon as you are accepted.
Free for founders and experts. No equity moves until the agreement is signed.
