For investors
The team the deck assumes already exists is verified here.
You pattern-match for a living, so you do not need another pitch. Founders here publish their metrics as structured fields, and the operators advising them have taken equity to do it.

What you get
Signal, not slides.
Proof of demand is the only pitch that survives diligence. Deal flow where proof loads before the ask means you spend your hours on founders who are already real.
Filtered by your thesis
You set the sectors, stages, geographies and cheque size. Deal flow is filtered to what you actually write. Nothing is ranked, scored or recommended for you.
Diligence, half done
Retention, revenue, burn and runway are structured fields with a stated currency and a metrics-as-of date, published before you take the meeting.
Operators took the equity
The experts advising a company here were paid in its equity, on milestones they had to deliver. What they chose to work on is a fact you can read.
Papered before the work started
Every equity position here was papered before the work started, with its milestone schedule attached. The trade you back is the trade that holds up.
Your workflow
What it actually looks like, week to week.
- 01
Set your thesis, and filter by it
Investor type, sectors, stages, geographies, cheque size and lead preference. Your filters are the whole mechanism — companies appear because they match what you wrote, not because we put them first.
- 02
Read the evidence before the ask
Problem statement, why now, business model, retention and revenue, incorporation details and the operators advising for equity. Diligence starts half done.
- 03
Read the Earned Conviction record
The operators who took equity to work on the company, the milestones verified, and when each metric was last updated. Computed, read-only, and not editable by the founder.
- 04
Request the data room
Founders grant access at folder level, with versioned files and a full audit trail. You see what you were given, and they see that you looked.
Why the signal is better here
Facts the founder cannot edit.
A founder who has convinced three senior operators to work for equity has already passed a test no deck can fake — and the record of it is not theirs to write.
Operators vote with their hours
Every expert on a cap table chose that founder over their Saturday, and took equity rather than cash to do it. What they picked is a fact, not a reference.
Metrics are structured, not narrated
Revenue, burn, runway, growth and customer count are fields on a profile, in a stated reporting currency, with a metrics-as-of date.
Options, not votes
Contributor equity is capped and held as options, so a company can bring in several operators without a governance decision changing hands.
Nothing on GetSweaty is an offer of securities or a recommendation to invest. Companies publish their own information, and you should do your own diligence and take your own advice.
Investor access
Founders and experts join free. Investor access is priced separately.
The investor surface opens with the platform in September 2026. Terms are set case by case, so tell us the thesis you write to and the stage you come in at, and we will come back with the detail.
Questions
Before you commit.
A small, defined slice of a company's equity traded for a specific piece of senior work. The percentage is set per engagement and agreed before anything starts, so a founder can bring in several operators without losing control of the cap table.
Three groups. Pre-seed founders who need judgment they cannot afford in cash. Senior operators, usually employed full time, who want startup upside without leaving their job. And investors who would rather read evidence than a deck.
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.
No. GetSweaty provides infrastructure, not advice. Equity in an early-stage private company is illiquid and can become worthless. Take your own legal, tax and financial advice before you sign anything.
