How it works
Four steps. No gatekeepers.
BackHumans lets builders raise non-dilutive capital through revenue participation. No equity. No loans. Just people backing people.
You post a journey.
Share your story publicly — milestones, failures, pivots, revenue updates. Build trust with the community before you raise a dime. Write JOURNEY, MILESTONE, and FAILURE posts. Share revenue metrics. Build a public track record backers can verify.
You set PRPA terms.
Create a Project-Based Revenue Participation Agreement. Set your raise goal ($5K–$100K), revenue share percentage (1–20%), and return cap (1.5x–5x). Backers invest $500–$50K. Funds held in escrow until the deal closes.
Backers fund.
Your journey is the pitch. Backers read your posts, watch your progress, and decide to back you. They sign a legally binding PRPA. Funds are released to you once the minimum raise is hit.
You share revenue monthly until cap.
Pay backers a fixed percentage of project revenue monthly until the return cap is hit. Revenue is verified through Plaid. Cap hit = deal complete, you keep 100% of your business. No equity given up. No interest. Backers earn 1.5x–3x.
For builders who want to raise without giving up equity.
Build in public — share wins AND failures. Raise $5K–$100K with no equity or debt. Keep full ownership of your business. Revenue-only repayment — no fixed schedule.
