Contractor compensation is broken for early-stage startups
Senior operators cost $180K+. Agencies want $20K upfront. Legal help bills $600/hour. You need all of them. You can't afford any of them.
-
Market-rate compensation Burn 2-6 months of runway on one senior hire
-
Everyone wants retainers Pay upfront — before you know if it works
-
No infrastructure for flexible compensation Every deal is custom, slow, and full of legal gaps
-
Tracking milestones and payouts is messy Payouts, approvals, and deliverables quickly become chaos
Make outcome-based compensation actually work
Benchmarked terms. Automated contracts. Milestone tracking. Integrated payouts.
Built for both sides of the table
Pre-Seed to Series A
You're moving fast but protecting runway. You need operators who can actually execute, but paying $10K-$20K/month isn't an option.
Fractional leaders, agencies & specialists
You want to offer upside deals but the operational mess stops you. Until now.
Trusted by founders and operators
Paying in milestones instead of upfront cash saved our runway when we needed it most. The difference between us and other founders who couldn't make these deals work? Trust, the one thing everyone talks about but nobody can actually build into a contract.
I was recently discussing collaboration with a founder who was offering equity, but without a platform set up to manage it or templates in place to move it forward effectively it didn't feel real.
We couldn't afford a full-time growth marketer at $120K+, but Capstacker helped us structure a revenue-share deal. Our marketer is fully aligned with our success, and we've grown from $10K to $50K MRR in 4 months.
