Why COSAIL receives equity in early-stage engagements

Aligned incentives for company-building, not just advisory work.

When COSAIL joins as operating partner, we act as co-builders across strategy, execution, investor readiness and governance. Because of that responsibility and risk, part of compensation is equity-aligned.

What this means for founders

  • We build with you, not around you.
  • We take meaningful risk with below-market retainer economics.
  • We cover critical capability gaps until your team scales.
  • We accelerate investor confidence and funding readiness.

Aligned incentives

The typical range (6-10%) reflects a company-building partnership, not standard advisory work.
