How Stakely works

From discovery to ownership — every step builds your verifiable track record.

1. Join a startup

Discover startups that fit your skills and goals. Apply, get accepted, and start contributing to real work.

2. Contribute & verify

Log your work — code, design, marketing, content. GitHub contributions verify automatically; the rest is approved by founders.

3. Earn ownership

Build your Builder Score and earn equity, revenue share, cash, and verifiable certificates for what you actually shipped.

The Builder Score

A reputation that can't be faked

On LinkedIn, anyone can claim anything. On Stakely, every point of your Builder Score is backed by timestamped, third-party-verified contributions. It's proof of work — like GitHub, but for everything you build.

  • Verified contributions across code, design, marketing & content
  • GitHub-backed automatic verification
  • Anti-gaming: self-verified work never counts
  • A public portfolio stronger than any résumé
