10% equity. $0 upfront.
We only win if you win. Our equity is earned in steps as we deliver, so you never give away ownership for work that didn't happen.
The terms, in plain English
| Equity | 10% of your company, granted when you're accepted |
| How it's earned | 2.5% vests as each phase is completed: Foundation, Build, Launch, and Graduate |
| Upfront cost | $0. You pay only hard costs like filing fees, your domain, and ad spend |
| Scope | A fixed list of deliverables for the 90 days. Extra work is quoted separately, and it's always your choice |
| If you walk away | If a founder shuts down or leaves within 12 months, BizBakers can buy back its vested shares at a nominal price |
| Your story | Every accepted founder agrees to be a BizBakers case study. You approve any numbers before they're shared |
Final terms are set in the participation agreement you sign when accepted. We encourage every founder to have their own attorney review it.
Why equity, not a fee?
We want great founders to get in, whether or not they have money saved. Equity keeps the door open and keeps us invested in your long-term success, not just a launch date.
The case study commitment
Your journey becomes part of how future founders learn. You share:
- Where you started and your goals
- A short monthly update, written or video
- Key milestones, with your approval
- A graduation interview
Trade secrets and unreleased products stay private.
