The SWEAT Note makes deals fast
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.
Startups can work with the service providers that can best help grow the business
Create true partnerships allowing providers to share in the value they help create
Choose what percentage of the service provider contract is paid in cash vs equity
Leverage the simplicity of the SWEAT with our best practice guidelines to quickly and confidently structure deals that make sense for your business
