About SweatEquityHub

Build companies together, and share in what you build.

Early-stage companies often need skills before they can afford salaries. Talented people often want a stake in something, not just another contract. SweatEquityHub brings them together and gives both sides the structure to do it properly: clear terms, defined milestones and a record of everything that was agreed.

How it works

Companies and founders

Bring in the skills you need without the cash you don't have yet.

  1. Post a project: the work, the time it takes and the equity, cash or both you offer.
  2. Review applications, shortlist people and talk to them in private messages.
  3. Propose terms, agree milestones and sign, with every version recorded.

Contributors

Put your skills into companies you believe in, and own part of what you build.

  1. Browse open projects and see the equity, cash and commitment up front.
  2. Apply with a short letter and your CV, then ask the company your questions.
  3. Agree clear milestones, deliver, and keep evidence of every step.

What we stand for

Clear terms

Equity, vesting, cash, milestones and IP are written down before work starts, not after.

A shared record

Every proposal, revision, signature and milestone update is kept, so nobody has to remember who agreed what.

Independent advice

We are not a party to your agreement and do not give legal advice. We make it easy to get a professional to look at it.

Privacy first

No advertising, no selling data. Conversations stay between the people in them.

Free to join

Membership is free for companies, contributors and advisors. Questions? Get in touch.
