Offer equity deals without the operational nightmare
Close more startup clients by offering flexible terms. Capstacker handles benchmarks, contracts, and payments so you can focus on the work.
The Handshake Friction
You've thought about offering equity or performance-based deals. Maybe you've even tried. Here's what stopped you:
-
The Valuation Gap
How much equity should you ask for? Too high scares them off. Too low undersells you.
-
Payment Trust
How do you trust they'll actually pay the success fees or performance bonuses?
-
Admin Bloat
Who tracks milestones? Who decides if they're complete? The legal setup costs more than the first month.
