Get paid when you deliver.
No more 90-day net terms. No more chasing invoices. Once the funder approves and all release conditions pass, Stripe Connect deals deposit directly to your account; external-rail deals are executed by your funder's payment partner.
No subscription. No per-milestone charge. No onboarding fee.
How you join Vektrum: Your funder invites you to a deal via a secure invite link. You accept the invite, create a free account, and — if your deal runs on Stripe Connect — complete Stripe onboarding for direct deposit. If your funder uses their own institutional payment rail, no Stripe onboarding is required. There are no subscription fees, no per-milestone charges, and no onboarding costs for contractors.
Working with a funder who isn't on Vektrum yet?
Send them this link and ask them to add you to your next project. Setup takes minutes. Contractors always join free.
Milestone payouts
Funds release per milestone — not at project close. Direct deposit via Stripe Connect on direct deals; institutional rail on partner deals.
Dispute isolation
A dispute on one milestone never freezes the others. Your cash flow stays intact.
Proof of approval
Append-only, hash-chained, tamper-evident record that your work was reviewed and approved.
No more waiting
When work is verified, the funder approves, and the release gate clears, your payment is initiated. No 90-day hold.
How it works for contractors
- 1
You receive an invite from your funder to join a deal on Vektrum.
- 2
For Stripe Connect deals, complete Stripe onboarding for direct deposit — takes minutes. For external/manual deals, payment is executed by the funder's institutional partner and Stripe onboarding is not required.
- 3
Complete milestones and submit draw requests with supporting documentation.
- 4
The funder reviews and approves. The 10-condition gate verifies everything server-side.
- 5
On Stripe Connect deals, funds deposit directly to your account; on external-rail deals, your funder's payment partner executes payment. Either way, the audit trail records every authorized release.
Contractors always join free
Vektrum charges the funder — never the contractor. No subscription fees, no per-milestone charges, no onboarding costs. You get paid to build.
