How it works
From profile to portfolio
Build your profile
Show your experience and the work you would take on, so founders can see what you do best.
Express interest
Find a project that fits, agree the milestones with the founder and sign the agreement in the platform.
Deliver and vest
Mark each milestone ready, get it signed off and watch your equity land in your portfolio.
Already got a handshake equity deal?
Plenty of advisors hold an informal promise of 0.1% to a couple of percent that was never written down. Ask the founder to formalise it here, and keep it in one place.
