Who We Work With
Built for founders,
not engineers.
You don't need a technical background to build a great company. You need a technical team and AI infrastructure that are aligned with your success, not just billing by the hour.
Who We Work With
We're selective. On purpose.
At thin margins with equity on the line across both engineering and AI, the quality of our partners matters as much to us as it does to them.
Right for Stakewell
Founder or CEO
No engineering or technical background required
Some traction or seed raised
Pre-revenue founders considered case by case
Clear product vision
You know what you're building and why
Wants a long-term partner
Not a vendor relationship, a co-builder
Ready to automate
Open to replacing manual operations with AI agents that run 24/7
Not the right fit
Pre-idea stage
Come back when you know what you're building
Looking for cheap outsourcing
We are not an agency or an AI vendor. We hold equity.
Wants to own 100% forever
Equity is the model. It's non-negotiable.
Why It Works
Incentives that mirror yours.
Agencies charge the same whether your product ships or flops. AI vendors charge monthly retainers whether the agents perform or not. We hold equity with a 4-year vest across both services, so if you don't succeed, neither do we. That changes everything about how we work.
4-year
Equity vest
Same structure as a co-founder. We're in it for the long run.
