For experts & consultants

Skip the vague briefs. Do the work. Get paid.

The worst part of client work is chasing fuzzy scopes and unpaid invoices. LaunchValid founders arrive with a researched, written-down project and money already in escrow. You bring the expertise, win the work that fits, and get paid the moment they approve.

Better clients, less chasing

Pre-qualified demand

Founders come to you after researching their idea. The problem is clear and the scope is written down before you ever bid.

Escrow-protected pay

The founder funds escrow before work starts. You deliver knowing the money is already there, and payout releases on approval.

Fair disputes

If something goes wrong, an admin reviews both sides and the full conversation. Funds stay held until it's resolved, with no unilateral clawbacks.

From application to payout

Four steps to your first paid delivery

No cold outreach, no proposals into the void. Get vetted once, then bid on work that is already scoped and funded.

  1. 1

    Apply and get vetted

    Create your expert profile with your skills, portfolio, LinkedIn, and payout account. Our team reviews every applicant before you can bid. Quality is the whole point.

  2. 2

    Bid on scoped work

    Founders post clear tasks with a statement of work and budget. You see the summary and scope up front, propose your price and timeline, and win the ones that fit.

  3. 3

    Deliver through escrow

    When a founder hires you, they fund escrow before you start, so the money is there. You get scoped access to the context you need, deliver, and they approve.

  4. 4

    Get paid

    On approval, your payout is released to your connected account, minus a flat 12% platform fee. No chasing invoices; escrow already holds the funds.

Questions from experts

Who are the buyers?

Solo founders who have already used LaunchValid to research and validate their idea. They arrive with a clear problem, a scoped task, and budget, not vague briefs.

How do I get paid, and what's the fee?

You connect a Stripe payout account during onboarding. Founders pay into escrow before work starts; on approval your payout is released minus a flat 12% platform fee.

What if there's a dispute?

Funds stay held in escrow until the work is approved. If a founder opens a dispute, a LaunchValid admin reviews the task, your delivery, and the full conversation before deciding, so you are not left exposed.

Do I need to be licensed for legal or tax work?

Yes. Legal and tax services are provided by independent, licensed professionals who give their own advice. To offer this work you add your licence and upload the document during onboarding, and our team verifies it before you can bid on legal or tax tasks.

How much does it cost to join?

Nothing. Creating a profile and applying is free. You only pay the 12% platform fee out of completed, paid work.
