Step 01

Describe your project

Tell us what you need in plain English. Our AI converts it into a structured SOW — skills, timeline, milestones.

< 5 min

Average time to get a structured SOW

✦

AI-powered brief

Describe in natural language — we parse intent, scope, and required stack automatically.

✦

Auto-generated SOW

Receive a structured Statement of Work with milestones, deliverables, and timelines within minutes.

✦

Skill graph mapping

Your project is vector-embedded and mapped against 40+ technical skill dimensions.

Step 02

Get matched instantly

Vector embeddings of your SOW match against our talent's live skill graph. You get curated profiles, not a sea of applicants.

Top 5%

Only the most vetted engineers make it

✦

Top 5% only

Every talent on our platform has cleared a rigorous multi-stage vetting: DSA, system design, and live code review.

✦

Live skill graph

Profiles are continuously updated with verified contributions, peer reviews, and real project outcomes.

✦

Curated shortlist

You receive 3–5 handpicked profiles — not 200 cold applicants — each with a match-score against your SOW.

Step 03

Build with confidence

Funds are locked in Stripe USD escrow per milestone. Talent builds as a 1099 individual or Corp-to-Corp US LLC, you review, and you release payment. No risk, no disputes.

100%

Funds secured in escrow before work begins

✦

Milestone-locked USD escrow

100% of funds are secured in Stripe USD escrow upfront with W-9 / LLC B2B compliance. Payment only releases when you approve each milestone.

✦

Real-time progress

Track deliverables, commits, and communications through a shared workspace. No inbox guessing.

✦

Dispute-free guarantee

Our mediation team steps in for any conflict. You never lose money on incomplete work.
