For makers
Build cool products.
Make smart calls. Ship in public.
Buyers come to you with interesting ideas — products, tools, systems real people need. You suggest improvements, propose better approaches, ship in 48-hour chunks. Your getsven page is your portfolio — verifiable, unfakeable, growing with every product you help ship.
The shift
Leave corporate dev behind. Build real things instead.
What you leave behind
- Standups. Sprint planning. Story points.
- Project managers running interference.
- JIRA tickets. Backlog grooming. Retro meetings.
- “Capacity” and “bandwidth” conversations.
- Code-for-hire on someone else’s product.
What you get
- Improve on the approach, not just execute it.
- Use your brain — buyers listen when you reframe the problem.
- Async only. Your timezone, your tools, your process.
- Your getsven page is your portfolio — public, verifiable.
- The buyer owns it. You move on. The work makes the name.
What makers get
Brain work. Autonomy. A portfolio that compounds.
Use your brain.
Suggest improvements. Reframe the problem. Your judgment influences what gets built — sometimes the most valuable 48-hour deliverable is a sharper question, not code at all. Buyers come to you for your brain, not just your typing.
Work your way.
Async only, no calls. Set your timezone. Use whatever AI tools you want — Claude, GPT, your proprietary in-house stack. Your judgment, your process, your craft.
Grow a portfolio that compounds.
Every product you help ship is meaningful work — for the buyer, their users, and your public record. Build products that make a difference. Buyers find you through work you’ve already done. The portfolio grows itself.
Set your rate. 1-2 buyers.
You set your flat monthly rate — $1,995, $4,995, or $7,995. Based on where you are: $1,995 = solid maker shipping working software. $4,995 (most picked) = professional with years of experience. $7,995 = rare specialist with domain expertise few people have. Buyers commit to your rate. 1-2 buyers concurrently — Pro rate × 2 ≈ $10k/month, if you can reasonably do the work.
Getsven handles
You build. Getsven handles the rest.
You keep 85%. The 15% covers payment processing, and getsven’s marketplace cut — inbound buyers, board, infrastructure, the works. No setup fees, no monthly SaaS, no per-deal rake. You and the buyer work directly; getsven doesn’t interfere.
Inbound buyers. Your page is public.
Your getsven page is public — share the link freely. Bio, blog, social media, email signature. Self-promotion is how the marketplace works, not a dirty word. Buyers come for your expertise; no proposals, no Upwork bids, no cold pitches.
Tax, invoicing, payments. You keep 85%.
Getsven handles VAT, sales tax, invoicing, and refunds — every country with a real tax authority. Buyers pay upfront — you get paid twice a month, globally. We don’t hold your cash for 30 days. The 15% covers payment processing, and getsven’s marketplace cut. No setup fees, no monthly SaaS, no per-deal rake.
Fizzy by default. Bring your own tools.
Getsven provides Fizzy (kanban for tasks and comments) out of the box. Prefer Linear, Notion, or your own setup? Bring it. You and the buyer work directly — getsven doesn’t interfere. We handle the paperwork, not the work.
How it works
Buyer subscribes to you. You ship. They own it.
List
Your getsven page shows what you’ve shipped. Buyers pick you by your work — not your resume, not your follower count.
Scope
You and the buyer figure out together (via chat) where to start. Break it into 48-hour increments. The scope evolves incrementally as you ship — each increment informs the next. No fixed 30-day plan, no kickoff calls.
Ship
One piece every 48 hours. The board accumulates into a ready-to-use product the buyer owns. You get paid twice a month.
The 48-hour increment
Incremental work. You break the work into small deliverables — a module, a feature, a patch, research, an analysis. Each one ships in 48 hours. You plan the increments, you explain the scope of each to the buyer, you guarantee the delivery. Many increments accumulate into a ready-to-use product.
First time?
Ship one thing. Then apply.
Getsven makers are listed by what they’ve shipped. No shipped work yet? Ship something — a small tool, a side project, anything real that runs. Then apply.
If it fits, apply.
Send a link to one thing you’ve shipped. That’s the application. If it’s a fit, we’ll set up your page, your board, and your first buyer.
The first maker on getsven.com is the founder — proving the loop, DesignJoy-style.
