◐Enten/ revenue sharing
№ 001 / a manifesto

Equity is slow. Revenueis the only honest unit a growing company has — so why don't we share it more often?

A revenue-share platform for digital marketing, e-commerce & SaaS

Earn from a slice of
the upside.

Enten is a smarter way to a piece of the upside — without burning equity or breaking the bank. Define the split, plug in your billing, and we handle the math, the legal, and the payouts.

Built for founders shipping their first rev-share deal — be early.
Form long-term relationships with customers, partners, and staff — where everyone benefits with clearly defined success goals.
— Who it's for —

Three teams. One unfair advantage.

Enten was built for the people who get paid in proportion to what they help create. Pick the chapter that sounds like you.

01— for digital marketing

Get paid for the lift you actually deliver.

  • Get paid for your positive impact
    Tie compensation to revenue you generate, not hours you bill. When your campaigns work, you earn more — automatically.
  • Lower engagement fees, more customers
    Drop your retainer in exchange for a slice of the upside. Easier to close, easier to scale.
  • Longer customer relationships
    When incentives are aligned, contracts last. Tie your upside to outcomes and the relationship outlives any single retainer.
02— for agencies

Model every client as their own little economy.

  • Every customer is different — model appropriately
    Per-client splits, per-project caps, per-deliverable triggers. Build the deal that fits the work, not the other way around.
  • Tie into your existing proposal workflow
    Build the deal inside Enten and the split goes live the moment a proposal is accepted. CRM integrations (HubSpot, Pipedrive, HoneyBook) are on the roadmap.
  • Transparency by design
    A shared, read-only view of the numbers that drive the split — so your client sees what you see. Direct Stripe / Shopify / Square sync is coming; CSV import works today.
03— for startup founders

Pay key people in upside, without giving away the company.

  • Reward without dilution
    A meaningful rev-share to a senior advisor or key hire costs you no equity — and starts paying out next quarter.
  • Comp that scales with the company
    Tie someone’s upside to the revenue they help grow, instead of a fixed number you have to guess at on day one.
  • Start small, stay flexible
    Set the split, the trigger, and an end date. Adjust as the relationship grows — no renegotiating equity.
— The shape of it —

Three steps. Then it just runs.

01

Define the deal

Pick partners, set the split, choose triggers. Enten's contract builder is opinionated where it matters and quiet where it doesn't.

02

Plug in revenue

Import revenue today, or connect your billing as live connectors roll out through private beta — Stripe, Paddle, Chargebee, ACH, Wise. Each partner's slice is reserved automatically. No spreadsheets.

03

See it, then pay it

Every deal, every balance, every projected payout in one place. Partners log in and see their own numbers. Automated payouts arrive with v1 — early cohorts are onboarded hands-on.

— What's inside —

— About us

A small company, paying people the way we wish we'd been paid.

Enten was started by two founders who'd spent too many years cleaning up other people's compensation messes. Ed — the lawyer behind enten.tech— built a practice resolving the founder, partner, and advisor conflicts that surface every time a handshake rev-share deal drifts into spreadsheets and resentment. Chris had lived those same conflicts from the other side, as a founder. We thought: there has to be a better unit of trust between a young company and the people who help it grow. We think it's revenue.

— Field notes —

Founders, in their own words.

“
Enten’s solution allowed us to bring on board our CTO, Reem, on a long-term, revenue-sharing basis. She is an absolute find and we are over the moon to have her. Like all young companies, we are operating on an efficient budget, which brings its own challenges, but thanks to Enten we are now working together in a way that we couldn’t have done so before. All team members are now fully motivated and aligned to bring our vision for TeamPlayer360 to reality. Enten’s process was quick and easy to use and Ed and his team are a pleasure to work with. I would recommend them highly to anyone looking for a more flexible, innovative approach to resourcing their team.

— Frequently & reasonably asked —

Questions, with proper answers.

Equity is a long, illiquid bet on a future exit. Revenue share pays out from real dollars today, on a cadence you control, against a contract that ends. They're complementary — many of our customers use both — but rev-share is faster, more flexible, and doesn't dilute the cap table.
SaaS companies, digital marketing teams, and agencies who want to compensate people in proportion to the revenue they help generate — advisors, staff, and growth partners. If you've ever found yourself maintaining a payout spreadsheet, Enten is for you.
We provide signed payout statements for every partner, every cycle — clean, timestamped, and ready to hand to your accountant. Partners handle their own local taxes. Our compliance team is happy to talk through anything more complex.
0.7% of revenue routed through Enten. That's it — no caps, no tiers, no surprises. Compare that to one Wise transfer, one signed statement, and one hour of a partner's time chasing you on Slack — you'll come out ahead.
Rev-share continues unless you and your partner agree otherwise. You set the terms upfront when you write the contract, and Enten enforces them automatically. Simple, with no surprises.
No. Each partner's portal shows only their own earnings. The full picture is admin-only. How transparent you choose to be is entirely up to you.
