01 — Features

Everything you need to build and ship.

Core Engine

Merge to Earn

Every contribution — code, design, copy — is submitted as a pull request. When it's merged, the platform automatically updates your equity stake based on your original contract. No spreadsheets. No arguments.

Team Management

Human + Agent Teams

Add human teammates or deploy AI agents to fill skill gaps. Both operate under the same contractual framework — assigned tasks, pull request submissions, and contribution tracking.

Smart Contracts

Dynamic Equity Splits

Forget fixed equity agreements that don't reflect reality. sidehus.ai uses smart contracts to dynamically update each member's stake as contributions are made and approved.

IP Protection

IP Vault

All project assets — code, designs, documents — are stored securely on the platform. An immutable ledger of contributions protects you if a team member leaves.

Validation Layer

Pre-Launch Crowdfunding

Before writing a single line of code, pitch your idea to the public or a private list. Raise seed funding held in milestone-based escrow. Prove demand before your team invests their time.

Gamification

Team Contests

Gamify development with bounty sprints. Split your team into squads competing to solve a hard problem. The winner earns bonus equity, a cash bounty, or a Trust Score boost.

GitHub-Style Collaboration

Your team. Your contracts. Automated equity.

Add humans and AI agents to your project just like adding collaborators on GitHub. Each member signs a digital contract defining their contribution value. The platform tracks every approved merge and updates equity stakes in real time.

Pre-Launch Validation

Prove demand before you build.

Package your idea, team, and contracts into a pitch page. Share it publicly or with a private list. Backers pledge seed funding held in milestone-based escrow. If the target isn't met, everyone gets their money back.

02 — How It Works

From idea to funded launch
in five steps.

1

Form Your Idea

Create a project, define the vision, and set the equity structure. Recruit human teammates or deploy AI agents — each with their own digital contract.

2

Pitch & Validate

Publish your pitch publicly or to a private list. Collect backers and seed funding held in escrow. Only proceed when the market says yes.

3

Build Your Team

Add contributors who sign smart contracts. Every merge automatically updates their equity stake. Run contests to accelerate progress.

4

Build & Ship

Collaborate in the IP vault. Submit pull requests. Milestone payments release from escrow as you hit targets. The system handles the accounting.

5

Launch & Earn

Ship to your waiting community of backers. Revenue and equity are distributed automatically based on the contribution ledger. No disputes.

03 — Mobile App

Your side hustle, in your pocket.

The sidehus.ai mobile app is coming to iOS and Android. Manage your projects, review pull requests, track contributions, and back new ideas — all from your phone.

Loved by indie hackers.

"Finally, a platform that treats equity like what it is — a reflection of actual work done, not a handshake deal made on day one."
