How we make money

Kapwork is free for your business. We don't take a cut of what funders make. We earn basis points on what we certify for them. If you never fund an invoice, you never pay us and neither does anyone else. We only win if you get better terms.

Why now

The hooks are real, and they're yours.

E-ACAM

The December 31 milestone
