Product overview
The HYVV lifecycle in three stages — Start, Own, Get paid — and what each product does in the app today.
On this page
HYVV follows a company through three stages. Every product below writes to the same company record, so the people, ownership, agreements and payouts stay consistent from one step to the next.
| Stage | Product | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Start | Foundation | Agree with your partners on roles, ownership and revenue before you file. |
| Start | Hyper Formation | An agent forms your company — entity, EIN, bank, Stripe, domain. |
| Own | Agreements | Operating agreements and revenue-share contracts, drafted from the terms you set and signed in HYVV. |
| Own | Cap Table | Real equity and revenue shares on one live record. |
| Get paid | Revenue Sharing | Set the split once. Every dollar that clears is shared automatically. |
| Get paid | Earn Links | A revenue-share deal anyone can review, sign and claim from one link. |
| Get paid | Portfolio | Every company you start, join or earn from — what you own and what you’ve been paid. |
Start
Foundation
Before anything is filed, the founding team works through seven steps together: vision, founding team, contributions, equity, revenue, blueprint, and review and approve. Each proposal passes only when every partner approves it. Approving saves a fingerprinted snapshot of the plan, and handing it off to Hyper Formation locks it.
Hyper Formation
HYVV’s agents and specialists handle the filings, applications and setup. You step in only where the law needs you — like an ID check — and watch each step land in your account. What that covers:
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| Entity | An LLC or C-corp filed in the state you choose, with an optional S-corp tax election |
| Registered agent | A registered agent for the state of formation |
| EIN | An EIN application to the IRS once the state accepts the filing |
| Bank | A business account with a banking partner such as Mercury, Rho or Brex, or the bank you already use |
| Payments | A Stripe account for the company |
| Books | Accounting set up in QuickBooks or Xero |
| Domain and email | A domain and Google Workspace |
State and IRS processing times vary, so HYVV shows each step’s status rather than promising a finish time.
Stripe Connect is live. Hyper Formation sets up your bank, books and workspace with the providers you choose; live bank and books sync are on the roadmap.Exploring is free: a guided intake, an entity recommendation and a transparent quote before you pay for anything. Core, Startup and Concierge are one-time tiers, and state and vendor fees pass through at cost. See pricing for what each includes.
If you already run a company, import it instead of forming a new one.
Own
Agreements
Documents are drafted from HYVV templates and the terms you set, signed inside HYVV, and stored with a SHA-256 fingerprint. The agreements HYVV drafts today:
| Agreement | Used for |
|---|---|
| Operating agreement | An LLC’s ownership, management and distributions, drafted from your company record |
| Stockholders agreement | A corporation’s stockholder rights and transfer terms, drafted from your company record |
| Revenue participation agreement | A revenue share: percentage, cap, end date and buyout terms, drafted from each deal’s terms |
Formation adds the certificate of formation or incorporation, initial resolutions, and a starter privacy policy and terms of service for your site. Hyper Formation’s Startup tier adds IP assignment and advisor agreements (pricing).
Each signature is recorded with a timestamp. To change the terms of a signed agreement, draft a new one for the members to sign.
HYVV templates are not reviewed by a lawyer for your situation.
Cap Table
HYVV tracks real equity — shares or LLC units, options, vesting and grants — and revenue shares for people who shouldn’t hold equity, on one record. In the app:
- Common and preferred stock classes, stock issuances, options from a stock plan, warrants, SAFEs (pre-money, post-money or MFN) and convertible notes.
- Time-based vesting with a cliff: four years with a one-year cliff by default, or your own cliff and duration.
- A drafted 83(b) election for restricted stock, with the 30-day due date shown on the grant. You sign it and mail it to the IRS.
- A dilution modeler that shows each holder’s ownership before and after a priced round.
- Repurchase, cancel or amend an issuance, and record board approvals.

Get paid
Revenue Sharing
A revenue share pays a member a percentage of the gross revenue your company receives through Stripe, in priority order, until it reaches its cap or end date. HYVV only splits revenue that has settled in your Stripe account, and holds back any cash reserve you set before anything is split.
Your customers pay into your company’s own Stripe account. HYVV calculates every share, records it on the ledger and sends each payout through Stripe Connect. Every payout gets a receipt. Every money movement is written to a hash-chained ledger that is re-verified every night, so any later change is detectable (tamper-evident).
HYVV splits each payment the moment it clears in Stripe — or batches it daily, weekly or monthly on the schedule you choose. Stripe then pays each person out to their own bank on their Stripe payout schedule. No HYVV transaction fees on revenue you distribute. Stripe’s standard processing fees apply. The payday section shows what a recipient sees.

Earn Links
An Earn Link turns a revenue-share offer into a link — for example, “Help me launch this, get 5% of revenue up to $5,000.” You set:
- the share, from 0.1% to 50% of gross revenue,
- an earnings cap on what each person who claims it can be paid, so the obligation has a ceiling (0 leaves it uncapped),
- a priority from 1 to 10,
- an optional expiry date, after which the link can no longer be claimed,
- an optional limit on how many people can claim it.
Anyone with the link can read the terms without an account. To claim it, they sign in to HYVV and go through three steps: review the terms, sign, and connect Stripe to get paid. They can connect Stripe right away or later from their settings; HYVV can only send their payouts once they have.
Portfolio
Portfolio is your home base across every company you start, join or earn from: your companies, your earnings, the distributions paid to you, and one activity and notification feed.
