how i work

We work together for 3-12 months and tailor our efforts to your specific needs and unique founding situation

Milestone oriented approach

Receive equity for efforts*

* Stryde Ventures, LLC receives equity via membership units or common stock on an equal monthly vesting schedule (.25% per month) and either party can terminate the arrangement at any time. Stryde uses the Founder Institute's FAST document (Founder/Advisor Standard Template) - so no lawyers needed (hooray!) Stryde also receives pro-rata rights to invest in your seed round.
