How it Works

What You'll Find At Upsides...

Co-Founders &
Collaborators

Problem: Bootstrapped founders often don't have the funds to hire skills and other help.
 
Solution: Find co-founders and complementary skill sets on Upsides. Agree on terms—revshare, equity or value-exchange—then build and grow together.

Built-In
Promotion

Problem: Being heard above the noise is one of the toughest challenges for any startup.
 
Solution: Upsides is growing a network of influencers, and cross-promoting startups that enable your startup to be seen—on and off the Upsides platform.

Professional &
Social Support

Problem: Going solo can be isolating and lonely, which leads to burnout and failure.
 
Solution: Use Upsides to connect with advisors and others who understand the journey. Establish real long-term relationships and a high-value network.

Founders on Upsides

Over 90% of startups fail, and founders working to burnout is not the solution. It's nearly impossible to do it all solo.

You need help. You need support. Find it here on Upsides, collaborate, and align incentives via equity, revshare or value exchange in lieu of cash.
