The model
Why hybrid cash + equity beats pure cash.
Lower cash burn
You preserve runway for what only you can do - sales, fundraising, hiring. We carry part of the cost in exchange for upside.
Aligned incentives
We do not get paid more if the project drags on. We get paid more if your company grows. That changes every decision we make.
Long-term partner
Once we own a stake, we stay involved past launch. You get a co-builder for years, not a vendor for weeks.
FAQ
Pricing questions.
Why does the equity range vary so much?
Equity is a function of how much cash you pay, the complexity of the product, and how involved we stay post-launch. The smaller the cash component, the larger the equity. For a $5K cash engagement, expect 10-15%; for a $30K engagement, expect 3-7%.
Can I pay 100% cash and skip equity?
Yes. Our MVP Studio service is cash-only. Pricing starts at $30K for a full MVP. We do not require equity for funded teams.
What is included in the cash component?
Discovery, UX/UI design, frontend, backend, QA, deployment, infrastructure, and full handover documentation. Hosting and third-party services (Stripe, Supabase, etc.) are billed at cost.
Are there hidden costs?
No. We use fixed-scope statements of work for cash engagements. Out-of-scope work is quoted in writing before any new development. Hosting and SaaS tools are billed at cost (typically $50-$300/mo for an MVP).
Do you take preferred or common equity?
We default to common stock with standard founder vesting. We are flexible if your existing investors require a specific structure. We never block future fundraising rounds.
What happens if we need to extend the timeline?
Most MVPs ship on time. If scope grows mid-build, we re-quote in writing. If we are the cause of a delay, we extend at no additional cost.
