How it works

Three steps, one agreement.

01

Post a project

Founders write the scope, the deliverables, and what each one pays. Students list what they can build.

02

Agree the terms

Pick cash, equity, or credit, then sign one standard agreement.

03

Do the work, get paid

Each deliverable is approved and paid on its own. The note vests on its own schedule.

Getting paid

Three ways to get paid.

A project pays in cash, in equity, or in both. Course credit is never combined with payment.

Cash

The money sits in escrow. It releases when the work is approved.

What happens in a dispute

Equity

A share of the company, as a percentage. Each deliverable vests its own share.

How vesting works

Course credit

Your faculty awards it. We track the hours.

Equity, IP and tax

Someone leaves in week three and keeps 5% forever.

That is what a handshake gets you. Three things stop it.

  • One standard agreement, written so your campus law clinic can review it.
  • Equity vests deliverable by deliverable, so leaving early forfeits every share not yet earned.
  • A reminder before the tax deadline, with a pointer to a qualified professional.

Questions

Common questions.

Do you take equity in my company?

No. Joining is free. We charge for optional founder tools and for school licences, never for a share of your company.

Is any of this legal advice?

No. We are not a law firm. We provide standard templates and route you to your campus law clinic for advice on your own situation.

Who can join?

University students and faculty, verified by .edu email.

Is it live yet?

We are running early pilots with a small number of campuses. Book a demo to see it and to find out whether your campus is a fit.

Bring it to your campus.
