FoundersBid
Get startup work done without hiring a whole team.
Work that is too small for a full-time hire and too important to sit in the backlog. Post it with a budget, a deadline, and a cap on who takes part.

No open bounties yet.
A bounty is bounded work with a fixed reward and a deadline: the sponsor posts it, a capped set of people compete, and the winner is paid the advertised amount.

Two ways to post the same kind of work
Bounty
Compete. Submit. The sponsor reviews.
- Several qualified people compete on a bounded task
- Each participant submits their best attempt
- The sponsor reviews the submissions and picks the winner
- The advertised reward is paid, exactly as posted
Project
Propose. The sponsor chooses one.
- Providers propose before any deliverable work
- The sponsor chooses one provider from the proposals
- Work runs through milestones, each paid on approval
- Deadline extensions are approved, logged, and neutral
Posts open today as drafts. Funding is not live yet, so nothing on this network takes payment right now.
