Get Paid Before You Work
Turn your future hours into income today. No invoices. No waiting. No platform cuts.
What this unlocks
Get paid upfront instead of waiting 30 days. Build predictable income instead of chasing invoices.
A freelancer charging $75 an hour can turn future work into income now. At just 10,000 freelancers, that could mean $750M flowing through the network.
Because Paisley is a cooperative, that value does not leave. It stays with members.
That means we can build more together: access to capital, better financial tools, and shared growth across the network.
This is more than getting paid faster. It is becoming part of something bigger.

Frequently asked questions
What is Paisley?
Paisley is a platform that lets freelancers get paid before they work. Instead of waiting for invoices, you can sell your future time as Time Credits and receive income upfront.
What are Time Credits?
Time Credits represent your future working hours. If you charge $75 per hour, you can create Time Credits in advance and sell them to clients who will redeem that time later.
Do I still have to do the work?
Yes. Time Credits are a commitment to deliver your work in the future. As clients redeem them, you complete the work and build your reputation.
Who is this for?
Freelancers and creators who sell their time: designers, developers, editors, coaches, consultants, and anyone working independently.
Why is this better than invoicing?
You get paid upfront instead of waiting 30 days. No chasing payments. No unpredictable cash flow.
What about platform fees?
Paisley is built as a user-owned network, not a traditional platform. The goal is to reduce fees and return more value to the people doing the work.
What happens if I do not deliver?
Your reputation is tied to delivery. Completing work builds trust and future demand. Failing to deliver reduces your ability to sell Time Credits.
When can I start?
We are preparing for launch now. Join early access and be among the first to create Time Credits and get paid upfront.
