How It Works

  • One partnership block equals 6 hours per week.
  • Cash retainers are billed weekly.
  • Equity accrues monthly while the engagement is active.
  • Equity is prorated for partial months.
  • Engagements typically continue until the company's next funding round, after which a new agreement may be negotiated.
  • Final terms are confirmed in the signed engagement agreement.
