For Companies
Get your project built. Pay only when it's done.
MergeFund connects you with a vetted community of engineers, designers, and researchers who deliver on clearly scoped work. No recruiting, no hourly billing, no surprises. Just outcomes.
Two ways to work with us
Whether you know exactly what you need or you're still figuring it out, MergeFund has a path for you.
You scope it, we staff it
You know what you need. Define the deliverable with clear acceptance criteria, post it on MergeFund, and our vetted contributors get to work. You can receive multiple solutions and only pay for the one that meets your bar.
- Post your project with defined acceptance criteria
- Multiple vetted contributors bid and deliver
- Compare solutions and choose the best fit
- Release payment only when you approve
We scope it with a PM
Not sure how to define the work? One of our experienced project managers will walk you through it. We'll help you define the scope, break it into deliverables, and then staff it from our vetted community.
- Free scoping call with a MergeFund PM
- We translate your idea into clear deliverables
- Vetted engineers and designers are matched to your project
- PM oversight throughout, we handle coordination
How it works
From first post to shipped deliverable, MergeFund handles the hard parts.
Post or scope your project
Define what you need or hop on a call with a PM who will help you scope it properly.
Vetted contributors get to work
Our community of NDA-signed, skills-verified engineers and designers pick up the work.
Review multiple solutions
On closed-source projects you can receive competing deliverables. Pick the best one or iterate.
Pay when you approve
Funds are held in escrow and only released when you sign off on the final deliverable.
Not just another freelance marketplace
Platforms like Upwork and Fiverr put the vetting burden on you. MergeFund does it differently.
Pre-vetted, NDA-signed talent
Every contributor in our network has been skills-verified and signed a platform-level NDA. Your code and ideas stay private.
Outcome-based, not hourly
No watching the clock or paying for meetings. You define the deliverable and pay only when it meets your acceptance criteria.
Multiple solutions, not one bet
Closed-source projects can attract multiple contributors working in parallel. You pick the best result with no single point of failure.
PM support available
If you don't know how to spec out your project, our project managers will scope it for you and manage the delivery.
Global, affordable talent
Our contributor community works at gig-economy rates, meaningful side-hustle income for them and cost-effective delivery for you.
Escrow protection
Funds are held securely and only released on your approval. No risk of paying for work that doesn't meet your bar.
Traditional hiring is broken.
Companies spend months recruiting, onboarding, and managing, only to see talent leave. MergeFund is the alternative.
