What you get
Your cap table is the most expensive thing you own. Spend it on people who move your timeline, on terms you set, with an agreement that protects both sides.
Match to operators by the buyer they have actually sold into, the motion they have actually run, and the stage they have actually survived. Not by keyword.
Set the equity, the hours, and the milestone it vests on. A milestone unlocks the equity, so incentives never drift.
Every trade ships with the paperwork that makes it real. You keep control of the cap table; we keep the paperwork clean.
Publish your proof of demand once and let it work while you sleep. Traction, team and terms on one page.
Your workflow
Problem statement, why now, business model, customer segments, current metrics and the team so far. Your profile is the pitch — keep it live, keep it honest.
Post an opportunity with the discipline, required skills, weekly hours, duration, work mode and equity. Then split that equity across milestones with real due dates.
Applications arrive with a cover note and rank against the structured signals you set, so review is triage. The operator sees your proof before they say yes.
The agreement, the milestone schedule and the filing obligations are generated for you. Nothing moves until it is signed, so nobody is relying on a handshake.
Equity unlocks against verified deliverables. Your contribution history becomes a public track record that investors read before they take the meeting.
The honest part
Spend it on people who move your timeline, on terms you set, with an agreement that protects both sides.
Each engagement is scoped before it starts, with the equity agreed and written into the paperwork. Bringing in several operators should not cost you the company.
If the work stops halfway, only the completed and verified milestones vest. The remaining equity stays where it belongs.
GetSweaty generates the paperwork, not the judgment call. Get your own legal and tax advice on issuing equity before you sign.
Questions
The instrument is an option agreement, signed before work starts and covering the full equity on offer. Vesting is milestone-based, not time-based: the opportunity is broken into milestones, each carrying its own slice of the options and its own due date, and that slice vests when the deliverable is completed and verified. Vested options are a right to acquire shares, not shares themselves — they become shares only if they are exercised, which is a separate step under the terms of the agreement.
Price the outcome, not the hours: a role that unblocks a quarter is worth more than a role that fills a calendar. Whatever you land on is stated on the listing and written into the agreement before work begins.
Only the milestones that were completed and verified vest. The options attached to the remaining milestones lapse, and that equity stays with the company. Both sides hold the same signed record, so there is nothing to argue about later.
Yes. Agreement generation, the milestone schedule and the filing obligations are built into the product, generated for the jurisdiction the company is incorporated in. Nothing moves until the agreement is signed.
A company profile with your problem statement, why now, business model and current metrics, plus the milestone the work is meant to unlock. Proof of demand is the only pitch that survives diligence.
