The Opportunity

Problem

Freelancers offering content strategy services suffer rampant payment delays and scope creep from creator clients, disrupting cash flow and project boundaries.

Solution

StratVault provides a client-freelancer dashboard where strategies are uploaded, reviewed, and approved before payments unlock. Built-in chat and version history prevent miscommunications leading to delays or creep. Payments integrate directly, ensuring freelancers get funded on greenlit plans.
