For founders

Can’t pay for the expert you need? Offer equity.

Name your biggest gap and post it to the marketplace. An expert does the work for a small slice of equity that vests as milestones are signed off.

How it works

Three steps from need to done

  1. Name your biggest need

    Post the project, the milestones and the equity you are offering, then split that equity across the milestones.

  2. Agree terms with an expert

    Talk to interested experts, lock in milestones together and sign the agreement in the platform.

  3. Sign off the work

    Equity vests as you sign off each milestone, and both of you can see what has vested.
