We provide a simple agreement template for every match—sign digitally before starting.
Clear Timelines Every project has a defined scope and timeline (typically 4–8 weeks, 5–10 hours per week). We set realistic expectations upfront.
Weekly Check-ins Teams connect via Slack or Discord for regular updates, feedback, and support. Communication is key to success.
Respectful Communication Both startups and contributors commit to professional, timely, and respectful interactions. We're building a supportive community.
No Ghosting Policy If circumstances change, we ask everyone to communicate openly. Life happens, but transparency helps us support each other.
Full Credit & Portfolio Rights Contributors receive complete credit for their work, including portfolio rights, testimonials, case studies, and public shoutouts on X (Twitter) and LinkedIn.
No IP Transfer Issues Work is provided to startups for their use, but contributors maintain the right to showcase their contributions publicly.
