For startups
Startups need enterprise-grade identity from day one, and can’t spare a founder-engineer to run it. So we partner differently: the full WebFrolic platform — identity, access and support — free for your first year, in exchange for a 2% equity stake. We grow only when you grow, which is exactly the incentive you want from the company that holds your identity.
The platform for 2% equity. Hands-on help by the hour.
The model
The platform is the partnership. The help is there when you want it, priced by the hour.
The platform
Authentication, authorization, the help desk and IT service desk, agent identity and the security controls — the whole of WebFrolic, free for your first year in exchange for a 2% equity stake (a simple SAFE-style agreement), not per-seat fees. We only win when you do.
Explore ↗The help
When you want our hands on setup, a migration or a review, we bill a flat $100 an hour for your first 10 hours. No retainer, no lock-in. (Established companies: $300 an hour for the first 10 hours.)
Explore ↗Your usage is tracked at standard rates all year. At the end, pay it off and owe no equity — or keep the cash and let the 2% vest at your valuation at that time. Eligibility is reviewed; normal use only, no reselling. See full terms and who qualifies →
Why equity
The way a company charges you tells you whose side it is on.
Aligned, not transactional
We hold equity, not a per-seat invoice. When a simpler or cheaper choice is right for you, we have every reason to say so.
No seat tax as you scale
Identity bills usually balloon exactly when you are growing fastest. The equity model takes that penalty off the table.
Invested, literally
Holding equity means your identity provider is tied to your outcome — not a vendor you chase for support.
How it works
A short call about your stage and what you need. If the fit isn’t there, we’ll say so.
We get identity, access and the support desks running quickly, on the standards you already use.
Setup, a migration or a review at a flat hourly rate — only when you want it.
As you scale, the platform scales with you. No per-seat surprises, because we grew with you, not off you.
Who it’s for
If identity is core to your product or your customers’ trust, and hiring a team to run it isn’t realistic yet, this is for you.

Let’s partner
A first conversation is about your stage, your identity needs and whether this is a fit. If it isn’t, we’ll point you somewhere that is.
