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.
Momentum first
Deal flow is ranked by momentum, so the movers surface first. Conviction is timestamped, so you can watch it accumulate.
Diligence, half done
Retention and real metrics are published before you take the meeting. The team the deck assumes already exists is verified here.
Vetted by operators
Founders here are vetted by the operators advising them. Their endorsements are diligence you did not have to run.
Clean cap tables
Every position on these cap tables is papered and clean, so the trade you back is the trade that holds up.
Your workflow
What it actually looks like, week to week.
- 01
Set your thesis
Investor type, sectors, stages, geographies, cheque size and lead preference. Deal flow is matched to what you actually write, not to who found your inbox.
- 02
Read the evidence before the ask
Problem statement, why now, business model, retention and revenue, incorporation details and the operators advising for equity. Diligence starts half done.
- 03
Check Earned Conviction
A platform-authored, read-only assessment on the company profile. Founders cannot edit it, which is exactly why it is worth reading.
- 04
Watchlist the raise
Track how fast the SAFE is filling and how conviction accumulates week by week. A raise at 51% committed is a signal you can act on.
- 05
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.
Why the signal is better here
The team the deck assumes already exists is verified.
A founder who has convinced three senior operators to work for equity has already passed a test no deck can fake.
Operators vote with their hours
Every expert on a cap table chose that founder over their Saturday. Their endorsement is diligence you did not have to run.
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.
Cap tables stay clean
Contributor equity is capped and every position is papered with its milestone schedule, so the trade you back is the trade that holds up.
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.
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 operators without losing control of the cap table.
Three groups. Pre-seed founders who need judgment they cannot afford in cash. Senior operators, 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.
