Free Until Profitable.
Eligible early-stage founders may receive a deferred-fee structure for selected finance setup work, documented in a signed engagement before work begins.
What “Free Until Profitable” means
When WGF approves an eligible engagement, fees for the selected setup scope may be deferred until the profitability trigger defined in the signed agreement is met. The agreement controls the scope, timing, trigger, payment terms, and any exclusions.
What WGF reviews
- The company’s stage, operating model, and current financial records.
- The requested setup work and whether it fits WGF’s available capacity.
- The engagement’s complexity, timeline, risk, and expected path to profitability.
- Whether both sides can document objective milestones and responsibilities.
What may qualify
Selected early-stage finance setup work may qualify after review. Recurring services, third-party costs, taxes, filing fees, software, and out-of-pocket expenses are not included unless the signed engagement explicitly includes them.
The offer, without the fine-print fog.
Is every founder eligible?
No. Eligibility depends on scope, stage, risk, records, capacity, and a signed written engagement.
Does “free” mean the work never has to be paid for?
No. For an approved engagement, selected fees are deferred according to the trigger and payment terms in the signed agreement.
Is this a loan or financing product?
No. WGF does not present this structure as a loan, grant, investment, or guarantee.
