The Equity Vault

Get a Tech Team —
Pay with Equity, Not Cash.

AiiQA invests engineering hours in exchange for equity. You keep your cash runway. We build your product. We both win when you raise funding — that's real skin in the game.

The Execution
Roadmap

How the Equity Vault solves the Technical Co-Founder gap for visionary founders.

Phase 01

Phase 1: Understand Your Idea

We spend time understanding your idea, market, and goals. Then we structure an honest equity agreement — how much equity, what milestones, what you pay in cash. No jargon. Just clarity.

Phase 02

Phase 2: We Build Your Product

Our full-stack team builds your MVP — design, development, DevOps. You pay a reduced cash rate. We take equity. Your burn rate drops. Your product ships.

Phase 03

Phase 3: Launch & Get Traction

We launch your product and support your go-to-market strategy. Because we hold equity, we are incentivized to help you get users — not just ship code.

Phase 04

Phase 4: Funding & Growth

When you raise funding, our equity vests based on agreed milestones. We help you prepare for investor meetings, pitch decks, and due diligence. We win when you win.

Advantages of
The Equity Vault

Why elite founders are increasingly abandoning standard dev agencies for Technical Co-Founder partnerships.

Keep Your Cash Runway

Instead of spending ₹5L–₹20L on development upfront, you pay a small cash component and give equity. Keep your capital for marketing, operations, and growth.

Ship in Weeks, Not Months

Stop spending months searching for a CTO or managing freelancers. AiiQA's team starts within days. Your MVP ships faster. Your market window stays open.

We Have Skin in the Game

When AiiQA holds equity, we are not a vendor — we are your partner. We build for scale, help with investor meetings, and stay invested in your success long after launch.

Share the Risk, Share the Reward

Early-stage startups are high risk. The Equity Vault model means AiiQA shares that risk with you — we only win when you win. No success = no equity value for us either.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our Hybrid package.

No. The Equity Vault is a hybrid model. We subsidize our development costs heavily in exchange for sweat equity, requiring a small cash component to cover raw infrastructure and hard costs. This ensures mutual skin in the game.
IP agreements ensure all source code, designs, and developments exclusively belong to your startup from day one with no ambiguity. We simply ask for early equity.
Both. We bring the scale and reliability of an established dev agency, but because we hold equity, our incentives are perfectly aligned like a Technical Co-Founder. We want the startup to exit, not just bill hours.
Founders retain complete control through shareholder agreements designed to protect voting rights and anti-dilution clauses. We are silent technical partners, acting as an accelerator.
We act as your Fractional CTO in VC meetings. We also provide marketing, growth strategies, and ongoing mentorship to get you to your Series A round.
