The Equity For Code Startup Program's Frequently Asked Questions:

What information does Equity For Code need to evaluate my project? In order to carry out a complete and accurate evaluation of your proposal, we need you to provide two key documents. First, your pitch deck or investor presentation, which will give us an overview of your business model, target market, team, and projections. Second, a functional description of the software you need us to develop, as detailed and exhaustive as possible. The more information you provide us about the features, functionalities, and objectives of your software, the better we can assess the scope and feasibility of the project.

Will I lose control of my company if I give shares to Equity For Code? Absolutely not. Our philosophy is to be a minority partner that drives growth, not one that takes control of the company. The stake we acquire is calculated based on the value of the technological services we provide and, as a general rule, falls within a range that does not exceed 10% of the company's total capital. This way, the founders always maintain majority control and the decision-making power over the strategic direction of their startup.

Does Equity For Code invest capital directly in startups? Our main investment model is based on providing technology development services in exchange for cash plus equity. As a general rule, we do not make direct cash capital injections into the startups we partner with. Our primary investment resource is our talent and experience in software engineering.

Does Equity For Code sign Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs)? Yes, of course. We understand the critical importance of protecting your project's intellectual property and sensitive information. Therefore, we are fully willing to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) before initiating any detailed conversations to ensure that your ideas and confidential data are legally protected at all times.

What kind of industries does Equity For Code work with? We are an industry-agnostic company. We believe that innovation and the need for custom technology solutions know no industry boundaries.

Does Equity For Code only collaborate with startups located in Spain? No, our reach is global. Technology allows us to collaborate remotely and efficiently, removing geographical barriers to partner with the most promising projects, no matter where they are located.

Equity For Code.

We become your technology partner by investing directly in your project. Instead of paying 100% for development, you split the investment: for example, on a $12,000 development project, you pay only 50% and the rest in equity of your startup for us (typically around 10% of your startup's equity). We negotiate the specific percentages based on each project.

With our offer for startups, instead of paying from $30,000 to $50,000 (market price for an app with frontend and backend), you pay only $6,000 + equity.

How does this directly benefit you?

Immediate financial relief: Pay only half the development cost and allocate the rest of your capital to critical areas like customer acquisition or team expansion.

You gain a partner, not a provider: This ensures a total commitment to quality, scalability, and results, because if you win, we win too.

Attract other investors: Our investment in your project is a strong signal of confidence in your business model, a key factor in attracting other investors.

We act as your CTO (Chief Technology Officer) during development and for as long as necessary. We advise you and help you choose the best development tools to build a robust and scalable application, guaranteeing its stability even in the face of explosive user growth.

With this model, we shift from "how much does the project cost?" to "how do we make your project succeed?".
