How it works
Post. Match. Paper. Vest.
Four steps, and the third one is the product. A marketplace can introduce two people. Only a compliance engine can make the trade between them real.
- ListingFounder
Post the role, name the equity
Describe the work as an opportunity: the engagement type, discipline, required skills, work mode, weekly hours, duration and the equity on offer. Then break it into milestones, each carrying its own slice of that equity.
- The equity on offer is stated on the listing
- Scope is a defined piece of work, not an open-ended retainer
- Weekly hours and duration are stated up front
- Every milestone carries its own equity and due date
- DiscoveryBoth
Match on fit, not on keywords
Experts publish the buyer they have sold into, the disciplines and industries they want, the stages they back, their available hours and an equity floor. Discovery ranks both sides on those structured signals.
- Filter by engagement type, discipline, industry, stage and geography
- Filter by equity range, weekly hours and duration
- Experts see the founder's proof before the pitch
- Founders see fit-ranked applicants, not a pile of CVs
- AgreementGetSweaty
Paper the agreement
Nothing moves until the agreement is signed. The compliance engine generates the option agreement covering the full equity on offer, records the milestone schedule that governs when each tranche vests, and produces the filing pack and deadline schedule for the jurisdiction the company is incorporated in.
- Option agreement generated inside the product
- Milestone schedule sets when each tranche vests
- Filing pack generated per jurisdiction
- Both sides hold the same signed record
- VestingBoth
Vest on the milestone
Vesting is milestone-based, not time-based. Equity is earned against verified deliverables, so an engagement is a structured ownership arrangement tied to outcomes rather than a time-bounded contract.
- Milestones move from pending to in progress to complete
- Equity unlocks against verified deliverables
- Contribution history builds a public track record
- Incentives stay aligned for the whole journey
The equity model
Small percentages. Real paperwork. No time-based drift.
Milestone-based vesting means an engagement is a structured ownership arrangement tied to outcomes, not a time-bounded contract that quietly expires.
What is traded
A defined scope
Not an open-ended retainer. The work is described as an opportunity, broken into milestones, before anyone applies.
Where the terms live
On the listing
Equity, weekly hours, duration and work mode are stated up front, so an expert can judge the trade before they respond.
Vesting trigger
Milestones
Not time. Equity is earned against verified deliverables, each carrying its own slice and its own due date.
If work stops
Completed only
Milestones that were completed and verified vest. The rest stays with the company. Both sides hold the same signed record.
A worked example
A founder posts a four-week GTM role at 1.25% for four and a half hours a week, split across three milestones: ideal customer and positioning locked at 0.45%, a repeatable sales process live at 0.45%, and the playbook documented and handed over at 0.35%. Each one is something the expert produces and the founder can verify by looking at it. An expert who has sold into that exact buyer accepts, and the agreement is generated and signed before the first session. When milestone two is verified, 0.9% has vested and 0.35% has not.
Compliance and verification
The paperwork is not the boring part. It is the part.
Founders were already offering equity informally. What did not exist was the infrastructure to make those offers safe to accept.
Agreement generation
The equity arrangement, the milestone schedule and the terms both sides agreed are generated in the product and signed before work starts.
Built for cross-border trades
Agreements are generated for the jurisdiction the company is incorporated in, so a trade is enforceable where it actually happens — however far apart the two sides sit.
Filings generated and scheduled
We produce the completed forms for the jurisdiction, tell you what is due and when, and remind you before the deadline. Some registry filings have to be lodged by the company itself, and we will never pretend otherwise.
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.
Audited data rooms
Folder-level grants, groups, versioned files and a full record of who opened what and when, so sharing diligence material is not an act of faith.
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.
