Yes — but think of it as a partnership, not a compromise.

We ask our contractors to offer preferred pricing or flexible packages when working with Neon ventures. These startups are just getting off the ground, and early-stage capital is precious. Offering founder-friendly terms helps us move quickly and build lasting relationships.

What This Can Look Like

We don’t dictate your pricing — we collaborate. Some common approaches include:

• A small discount on standard hourly or day rates

• Fixed-price MVP packages or sprint bundles

• Flexible payment timelines (e.g., 50% upfront / 50% post-delivery)

• Reduced rates for longer-term or retainer-style work

• Equity components for select high-involvement projects

Why It Matters

Preferred pricing helps us match more contractors with more ventures — faster. And in return, you get:

• Early access to deal flow

• Long-term project potential

• Repeat work across multiple startups

• A fast-growing portfolio of future clients

Conclusion

We respect your time and talent. If you're open to flexible pricing models that help new companies grow — you’ll fit right in.
