if you are a builder

For builders.

Applying Free · submit a working agent

Your first closed project Free · you pay only once a client has paid you

Ongoing membership $200 / month or $2,000 / year (save $400)

Our cut of your deals 0% · we never see the transaction

Quarters with no deal Free · we pause your billing

Cancel Any time, 30-day handover, no penalty

One $8,000 project pays your membership for over three years. If you can't clear that in twelve months, we shouldn't be charging you. So we don't charge until you close your first project through us.

why this model

A platform should be paid by the side it actually serves.

the upwork trap

Percentage platforms serve volume, not quality.

If we earned 10% of every deal, our incentive would be to shove builders into more deals — any deals — not better ones. The match quality would degrade the moment it conflicted with throughput.

the flat-fee flip

A flat membership aligns us with the builder.

Our only job is to send you briefs that fit your lane. If we send you bad matches, you leave. If we send you good ones, you stay. The incentive is signal, not noise.

the client bonus

And the client pays strictly less.

Because we don't touch the deal, the number the builder quotes is the number the client pays. No 10% skim hidden in the invoice. Cleaner terms, cleaner conversations.
