Sweat Equity Agreements

A Sweat Equity Agreement typically includes clauses setting out the amount of equity to be granted, and any milestones to the equity being granted. It also lays out the services to be provided by the worker and termination clauses.

Sweat Equity Agreements are usually used by startups to engage workers because they can’t afford to pay them at first. They are also sometimes used with software developers for similar reasons.
