For investors
See the team behind the deck.
You pattern-match for a living, so you do not need another pitch. Founders here publish their metrics as structured fields, and the experts advising them have taken equity to do it.

What you get
Signal, not slides.
Proof of demand is the only pitch that survives diligence. Deal flow where proof loads before the ask means you spend your hours on founders who are already real.
Filtered by your thesis
You set the sectors, stages, geographies and cheque size. Deal flow is filtered to what you actually write. Nothing is ranked, scored or recommended for you.
Diligence, half done
Retention, revenue, burn and runway are structured fields with a stated currency and a metrics-as-of date, published before you take the meeting.
Experts took the equity
The experts advising a company here were paid in its equity, on milestones they had to deliver. What they chose to work on is a fact you can read.
Papered before the work started
Every equity position here was papered before the work started, with its milestone schedule attached. The trade you back is the trade that holds up.
Your workflow
What it actually looks like, week to week.
Set your thesis, and filter by it
Investor type, sectors, stages, geographies, cheque size and lead preference. Your filters are the whole mechanism — companies appear because they match what you wrote, not because we put them first.
Read the evidence before the ask
Problem statement, why now, business model, retention and revenue, incorporation details and the experts advising for equity. Diligence starts half done.
Read the Earned Conviction record
The experts who took equity to work on the company, the milestones verified, and when each metric was last updated. Computed, read-only, and not editable by the founder.
Request the data room
Founders grant access at folder level, with versioned files and a full audit trail. You see what you were given, and they see that you looked.
On the investor surface
Read the company, not the room.
Filtering, evidence and a workspace of your own. You set the criteria and the platform applies them — nothing here scores, orders or recommends a company to you.
Filters with real depth
Sector, stage, geography and radius, team size, founded year, revenue, growth, monthly burn, runway, customer count, total funding, reporting currency and how fresh the metrics are. Multi-select where a thesis is plural, ranges where it is a threshold.
Engagement signals on the ask
How the company's profile and Feed posts are actually engaged with: impressions, video watch time and completion, deck viewing time and how many pages people reach. Over 7, 30 or 90 days, external traffic only, and never per named viewer.
Feed posts at full quality
Pitch decks rendered page by page and video streamed properly, not a compressed attachment forwarded twice. Each post as the founder made it.
A deal flow workspace that is yours
Private notes and a status on every company you are tracking: saved, reviewing, contacted, due diligence, committed, invested or passed. Private to you, and invisible to the founder.
Request the data room from the ask
Ask for access where you are already reading. The founder decides what you see, folder by folder, and the audit trail records it for both of you.
Follow, then hear about it
Follow a company, a person or an opportunity. Choose in-app alerts and a realtime, daily or weekly email per kind of update, or none at all. You decide what is worth an interruption.
Why the signal is better here
Facts the founder cannot edit.
A founder who has convinced three experts to work for equity has already passed a test no deck can fake — and the record of it is not theirs to write.
Experts vote with their hours
Every expert on a cap table chose that founder over their Saturday, and took equity rather than cash to do it. What they picked is a fact, not a reference.
Metrics are structured, not narrated
Revenue, burn, runway, growth and customer count are fields on a profile, in a stated reporting currency, with a metrics-as-of date.
Options, not votes
Contributor equity is capped and held as options, so a company can bring in several experts without a governance decision changing hands.
Nothing on GetSweaty is an offer of securities or a recommendation to invest. Companies publish their own information, and you should do your own diligence and take your own advice.
Investor access
Founders and experts join free. Investor access is priced separately.
The investor surface opens with the platform in October 2026. Terms are set case by case, so tell us the thesis you write to and the stage you come in at, and we will come back with the detail.
Questions
Before you commit.
A small, defined slice of a company's equity traded for a specific piece of senior work. The percentage is set per engagement and agreed before anything starts, so a founder can bring in several experts without losing control of the cap table.
Three groups. Pre-seed founders who need judgment they cannot afford in cash. Experts, usually employed full time, who want startup upside without leaving their job. And investors who would rather read evidence than a deck.
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.
No. GetSweaty provides infrastructure, not advice. Equity in an early-stage private company is illiquid and can become worthless. Take your own legal, tax and financial advice before you sign anything.

Free for founders and experts. No equity moves until the agreement is signed.
