What is sweat equity?

Sweat equity is the investment of time, effort and skills into a business in exchange for a share in the business. It forms the foundation of innovation and progress for those willing to get their hands dirty, and have the audacity to transform ideas into reality.

Sweat equity allows those who contribute to share in the future success of the business. It also means you can develop your own skills, explore areas that really interest you and build out your own experience to support your own career ambitions.

WHY SWEQLINK?

A platform for great startup ideas & great talent

80% of entrepreneurs self-fund their startup ideas because they're unable to access external funding. Sweat equity can be a way to offset this financial requirement, giving ideas the best chance to develop into businesses during those very early stages.

We help connect people who want to work for equity in a business with founders who want to pay in equity. As the business scales, you get rewarded for your contributions.
