Milestones · equity vests on completion
What you get
Your cap table is the most expensive thing you own. Spend it on people who move your timeline, on terms you set, with an agreement that protects both sides.
Match on who they did it for, what they actually ran, and how early they did it. Someone who scaled a team of two hundred is not who you need at eight.
Each tranche has a deliverable and a due date. Time served vests nothing, so work that never lands costs you nothing.
The equity, the milestone schedule and the scope are recorded before any work starts. Nobody is relying on a handshake and a Slack thread.
Contributors hold options, not votes. Bring in several operators without one governance decision changing hands.
Your workflow
Problem statement, why now, business model, customer segments, current metrics and the team so far. Your profile is the pitch — keep it live, keep it honest.
Post an opportunity with the discipline, required skills, weekly hours, duration, work mode and equity. Then split that equity across milestones with real due dates.
Applications arrive with a cover note and rank against the structured signals you set, so review is triage. The operator sees your proof before they say yes.
The agreement, the milestone schedule and the filing pack are generated for you. Nothing moves until it is signed, so nobody is relying on a handshake.
Equity unlocks against verified deliverables. Your contribution history becomes a public track record that investors read before they take the meeting.
The honest part
Spend it on people who move your timeline, on terms you set, with an agreement that protects both sides.
Each engagement is scoped before it starts, with the equity agreed and written into the paperwork. Bringing in several operators should not cost you the company.
If the work stops halfway, only the completed and verified milestones vest. The remaining equity stays where it belongs.
GetSweaty generates the paperwork, not the judgment call. Get your own legal and tax advice on issuing equity before you sign.
Questions
The instrument is an option agreement, signed before work starts and covering the full equity on offer. Vesting is milestone-based, not time-based: the opportunity is broken into milestones, each carrying its own slice of the options and its own due date, and that slice vests when the deliverable is completed and verified. Vested options are a right to acquire shares, not shares themselves — they become shares only if they are exercised, which is a separate step under the terms of the agreement.
Price the outcome, not the hours: a role that unblocks a quarter is worth more than a role that fills a calendar. Write each milestone as something the operator delivers and you can verify by looking at it, not as a company result that depends on things outside their control. Vague milestones and unwinnable milestones both end the same way. Whatever you land on is stated on the listing and written into the agreement before work begins.
Only the milestones that were completed and verified vest. The options attached to the remaining milestones lapse, and that equity stays with the company. Both sides hold the same signed record, so there is nothing to argue about later.
Yes, with one honest limit. The agreement and the milestone schedule are generated in the product and signed before work starts. For every filing that follows, we generate the completed forms, tell you exactly what is due and when, and remind you before the deadline. Some registry filings have to be lodged by the company itself, and we will never pretend otherwise.
A company profile with your problem statement, why now, business model and current metrics, plus the milestone the work is meant to unlock. Proof of demand is the only pitch that survives diligence.
