Success in Funding

Equity for Expertise

Removing Legal Concerns

High legal costs and the lack of a standard and fair framework have prohibited sweat equity from being a viable fundraising option for most early-stage companies. Lynx’s Simple Work for Equity Agreement & Terms (or SWEAT Note) makes sweat equity deals easy, aligning interests for long-term success.

Learn to SWEAT

We’re actively compiling helpful resources for Founders and Service Providers alike to learn more about the benefits of incorporating a sweat based structure into your business. Read our articles below.
