Keep your equity and your options.
Share your success.

A founder friendly alternative to equity, debt, or a SAFE.

Shared Success is a new founder friendly funding alternative to equity, debt, or a SAFE.

Define your needs

Whether you need marketing help, software development, legal services, funding, or something else, choose a Shared Success Agreement to reduce the upfront cash cost and align incentives with key partners.

Set the terms

Decide how much of your future revenue to put on the line and at what multiple. Find folks who share your vision and are willing to be patient. Skip the conversations about valuation and ownership.

Pay when you succeed

Repay contributors from your future revenue, ensuring that you succeed together. The faster your revenue grows the better their ROI, so everyone wins. It's not debt - if there's no revenue, no payments are due.

Molubah Seley

Co-Founder | CEO

Founder

Hi I’m Seley, the founder of Wugs. Wugs is a game changer! As the world's first inclusive self-checkout micro market and vending company, we offer a wide range of food and drinks that represent different demographics from around the world. Wugs represents different things for different people; to some, it's a chance to explore global cuisine, such as freshly made sushi, mouth-watering plantain chips or refreshing jarritos, while to others, it provides a sense of community and belonging, akin to a home away from home. Despite the presence of numerous ethnic grocery stores and restaurants and a significant demand for global cuisine in an increasingly diverse nation, traditional vending and micro market solutions lack these options. Wugs aims to bridge this gap by providing international food choices in vending, micro markets, and smart fridges, making them inclusive of underrepresented communities.
