No upfront investment. No developers to hire. We deploy engineering capacity instead of capital — and share in the upside we help create.
We call it a stake, not a share. The typical model is simple: you pay, they build, they move on. If that's what you're looking for, it exists. We just don't offer it. We deploy our time, our infrastructure, and our skills against an outcome we can't guarantee. If your business doesn't grow, neither do we. A stake is skin in the game. We don't invoice you — we back you.
No lengthy discovery sessions. No retainers. Submit your concept, answer our questions, and get an honest go / no-go within 5 business days.
You submit a detailed yet conceptual document of your requirements / idea. No call required at this stage.
We stress-test your concept thoroughly and come back with pointed questions. No fluff — just the things that matter.
Scope agreed and frozen. We build fast and lean, using every tool at our disposal to deliver in weeks, not months.
Hosted on our infra. Revenue always flows directly to your companies bank account, only data through the platform.
One new feature per quarter included. Maintenance / bug fixing included. Rev share starts at the first transaction.
We don't charge by the hour or invoice by the milestone. We build, host, and operate your platform — and take a share of the revenue it generates. Simple as that.
Engineering, design, hosting, infrastructure, ongoing development. You never touch a server or manage a developer. We own the technical execution completely.
Your customers, your domain expertise, your relationships. We build the platform that powers your operations — you run the business. That division of focus is what makes this work.
A percentage of the revenue that flows through the platform, reviewed quarterly. No revenue, no income for us. Everything we build is designed to generate — not just operate.
Revenue flows through shared platform infrastructure that both parties can access. Every transaction, every calculation — visible by design, not available on request. No black boxes, no quarterly debates. The numbers are the numbers.
Four examples of the kind of partnerships we build — existing businesses with proven customers, clear software needs, and zero appetite for speculative IT investment.
A single owner operating four distinct real estate businesses — a rental portfolio, a project development arm, an investor relations & capital raising entity, and a property services division.
Each entity had its own prospects, clients, and admin — but shared the same owner, the same ambition, and increasingly, the same investors. Four CRMs, four inboxes, zero shared intelligence.
Paper intake forms, WhatsApp bookings, a shared spreadsheet for three locations. Hours every week lost to admin that software would eliminate in seconds.
140 restaurant clients managed through email threads and WhatsApp. Orders were missed, reorders were manual, and there was no visibility into which clients were growing.
Four operating businesses, four separate systems, zero shared oversight. Exactly the kind of fragmentation that suppresses valuation when a serious buyer starts asking questions.
Two decades in corporate and enterprise environments — brought in to build and grow, but rarely to maintain. Now applying it differently: running multiple ventures in parallel from Bali.
BuildForStake was built on lessons learned. A platform commissioned, a significant sum spent, developers "gone" after delivery — and nothing that 100% worked because "an extra investment" was required. I know first-hand what a wrong model looks like. So I built the opposite: staying embedded in the platform, controlling the infrastructure, and only earning when it delivers.
