Unlocking Investable Startup Execution

We're building the infrastructure layer that makes alternative compensation work at scale. We turn handshake deals into structured startup assets.

Why Now

The workforce shifted.
The infrastructure didn't.

Founders are stretching runway further than ever. Operators want skin in the game. Demand for flexible deals is here—the infrastructure wasn't. Until now.

Performance-based deals are becoming the new normal for startups. Capstacker provides the rails to make these deals trustworthy and scalable.

What Makes Us Different

The First Compensation Layer

Beyond Disbursement

We are not payroll management (Deel, Rippling) or cap table software (Carta). We are the first infrastructure for equity and outcome-based startup compensation.

We focus on high-value deals between startups and operators—not low-margin task work typical of freelancer marketplaces.

DATA NETWORK EFFECT

The Default Ecosystem Layer

Every deal we process improves our benchmarks. As volume grows, Capstacker becomes the default compensation layer for the entire startup ecosystem.

Join the Future of Work

We're building the payment rails for the next generation of startup talent and capital efficiency.
