FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
As Capstacker facilitates operator equity engagements, we aggregate anonymized data on roles, scopes, and equity ranges—creating benchmarks founders can use to negotiate with confidence over time.
Startups pay subscription for platform access. This covers structuring, tracking, and paying operator deals in one place. Optional Operator Introductions can be added when you want Capstacker to introduce vetted operators aligned on flexible compensation. You only pay the introduction add-on if a deal is initiated.
Milestones are agreed upfront and tracked in real-time. Both sides see progress. If a milestone isn't completed, payment doesn't trigger. Simple as that.
Absolutely. Most deals on Capstacker are hybrid: base cash + equity + performance bonuses. You choose the mix that fits your runway and the operator's needs.
Typical timeline: 1-2 weeks from initial match to signed agreement. Compare that to traditional hiring: 4-8 weeks for senior roles, or weeks of vendor shopping plus $3K-$5K in legal fees.
Perfect. You can bring them to Capstacker to structure the deal. You still get benchmarked terms, automated legal setup, and milestone tracking, without the weeks of back-and-forth.
