Co-build: a lower fee plus a share of revenue or equity. We stay on as the product team.
FEE AND SHARE TERMS [[CONFIRM]] per product
The same six stages and the same gates as a commission. The difference is how it is paid for, and that we stay.
A lower build fee, plus a share of the product's revenue or equity, agreed before the build starts.
We stay on as the product team: support, onboarding, uptime, usage and the next releases.
Founders who would rather share the risk than carry the whole build fee, and want a product team close.
How involved we stay
Drag the slider: four ways a product can be built and run.
- 01Commission, then hand overWe build it, you own it, and you take it in-house with the repository, docs and runbook.
- 02Commission, then runWe build it, you own it, and we keep operating it on a monthly retainer.
- 03Co-buildA lower fee plus a share of revenue or equity. We stay on as the product team.
- 04AfterCode OriginalWe build it and own it ourselves. These are the planets.
Not included
We build what the company sells, not the company. These are not included:
- Company formation
- Legal and compliance paperwork
- Company-wide departments (HR, finance, sales operations)
- Running the client's business
Need the company set up too? Utopian.
Bring the idea. The Foundry gives it a private workspace and takes it through six gates you approve.
