Traditional equity models are too slow for the AI era. This accelerator provides a Task-to-Token earned governance toolkit with established legal equity sharing via Slicing Pie or Fairmint. Full speed, fair shares.
Talented founders everywhere — especially global, scrappy teams — can build anything with AI. But they can't afford to hire. Current options: pay cash you don't have, make vague equity promises nobody trusts, or hire off Upwork with zero alignment. The result is dead equity, broken teams, and wasted potential.
We provide the legal structure (Fairmint or Slicing Pie) and the work-tracking engine (LinkedTrust) so founders can recruit the best people in the world today — and pay them in real ownership, not just promises. Fair, fast, and legally sound from day one.
"Most accelerators give you a check and a mentor. We give you an Operating System."
Everything a team needs to grow rapidly and fairly — from legal structure to AI-powered development.
Granular earning of governance and equity through tracked contributions. The accelerator invests via stipends and receives shares through the Rolling SAFE — everyone's work is valued from day one.
Leaders drive ahead while maintaining team trust. Visibility into decisions and resource allocation is as powerful as voting, without the delay.
Teams are encouraged to recruit globally and stay open to adding members. Built for distributed, async collaboration from the start.
First cohort targets pre-seed/idea stage companies with strong product vision or domain expertise. Build is easy — what to build is key.
Mentors and advisors from supply chain, healthcare, logistics, marketplace, HR, real estate, and energy — the sectors where these startups will operate.
Task tracker integration and AI-aligned shared dev environment, credited on the equity table as an in-kind contribution to every team.
We didn't just design this model — we built a company on it. What's Cookin' Inc, DBA LinkedTrust, is a United States Public Benefit Corporation with a global team where all members share equity.
Our bylaws require that governance is earned and our CEO is elected by ranked-choice, work-weighted vote. We use transparency-not-permission to stay fast while keeping trust high.
Now we're ready to spread this DNA through an accelerator that launches multiple social enterprises with the same principles.
For early-stage founders seeking product-market fit. Task tracking and earned equity are woven into every phase.
Also available: an 8-week Transition Model for existing teams looking to formalize their projects with earned equity structures.
Whether you provide legal infrastructure, capital, or talent — the accelerator creates value across the ecosystem.
A pipeline of high-quality, legally compliant issuers. Every startup in the cohort onboards to Fairmint or Slicing Pie from day one, increasing TVL and usage.
De-risked cap tables — no "dead equity" from founders who quit. Full transparency via verified contribution history, not just pitch decks.
Turn student internships into real ownership stakes. Graduates leave with equity in real companies, solving the "unpaid labor" ethical dilemma.
