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

STARTUPS

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.
