Best suited for

Who the equity model works best for

Pre-revenue founders

You have the idea, the market knowledge, and the drive — but not the cash to hire a development team. Equity deals make the build possible without burning savings.

High-conviction markets

You're confident enough in the market opportunity to give up a piece of the upside. Equity deals require founders who believe they're building something valuable.

Founders who want a long-term partner

Equity means we're in this together for the long run — not a vendor relationship. Best for founders who want an engineering partner, not just a build service.

What you get
