Hire the talent you can't pay for yet.
Four steps, one agreement.
Post a project
Scope, deliverables, due dates and pay. Fifteen minutes, and it is on the board.
Meet the applicants
Each proposal comes with a campus profile: skills, the hours they can give, and the work they have finished.
Sign once
You make an offer on the posted terms. Both of you countersign one standard agreement on the platform.
Approve milestones
Each deliverable is approved on its own. Cash releases as you approve. Equity vests the same way.
Pay how you can.
Cash
Fund the project up front. The provider holds it and releases each milestone as you approve it. You cover the processing fee; the student receives the full amount.
Equity
Restricted stock at a price you set, vesting per milestone. Unfinished work vests nothing.
Course credit
If a faculty member chooses to sponsor the project, the student works for credit and no payment. You never combine the two.
Unfinished work vests nothing.
Equity is a share of the company, set per project as a percentage. It is split across the deliverables, and each deliverable vests when you approve it.
Someone who leaves in week three keeps only what they finished.
| Deliverable | Hours | Vests |
|---|---|---|
| Brand system and logo | 12 | 0.20% |
| Launch film | 14 | 0.20% |
| Social templates | 6 | 0.10% |
Keep what you build.
The agreement assigns the work to your company. Ordinary work a student does on their own time and equipment is theirs to assign.
Work that would use university labs, equipment or funding is confirmed under the university's policy before anyone signs.
What else you get.
Co-founders
Post what your company lacks and meet the people on campus who have it.
Grants and competitions
More than 100 grants, accelerators and pitch competitions, filtered to what you can enter.
Templates
Twelve attorney-drafted documents, from a mutual NDA to an advisor agreement.
Company formation
A plain comparison of entity types, and where to file.
Profile and messaging
A page for your company, and one thread per conversation.
IP listings
Inventions your campus technology office is ready to license, where you already look.
Common questions.
What does it cost?
Nothing to post. On cash projects you cover the payment processing fee.
Do you take equity?
No. Never.
Who can post?
Founders with a campus email, faculty running their own ventures, and businesses the university designates.
Can I hire from another campus?
Not today. Each campus runs on its own instance.
