Trusted by 600+ teams getting their headspace back

Your product scales. Your team shouldn’t be stuck in a spreadsheet

You’re shipping fast. Your engineers, designers, and PMs are distributed across a dozen countries. Standard tools weren’t built for that — they lack compliant contracts, real IP assignment, or simply don’t operate where your people live. Kleos handles all of it for distributed SaaS teams in 242 countries

The part of running a SaaS company nobody puts in the sprint board

“Who actually owns the code?” You hired a senior dev in another country. Six months later, the contract template you grabbed online doesn’t mention IP assignment. Investors flagged it during due diligence. Now you need a retroactive fix nobody wants to sign.

The data room nobody warned you about. You’re fundraising. The fund’s lawyers want contractor agreements, NDA chains, and proof of IP ownership for every engineer who touched the codebase. You have a Notion doc and a bank transfer history.

The release sprint that turned into a paperwork sprint. Half your engineering team is sprinting toward Friday’s release. The other half is on Slack asking why their contract still hasn’t been signed, why the invoice format is wrong, why payment is two weeks late. You’re context-switching between code reviews and reconciliation.

The PM you found in the wrong country for your tools. Your best PM candidate lives in a market your current platforms don’t cover well — unreliable contracts, blocked accounts, no fallback. The tools you know don’t serve the markets you’re in. Kleos works where others don’t — CIS, LATAM, SE Asia, and 200+ more countries.

Two ways to onboard a contractor to your SaaS team

Without Kleos

Find a contract template online (hope it’s local-law compliant)

Add an IP assignment clause yourself (or forget it entirely)

Send payment via wire — log it manually, chase the receipt, reconcile with accounting

Chase the contractor for an invoice in the right format

Repeat next month

Company side

Service agreement

Kleos signs service agreements with every contractor. Every contract includes IP assignment, scope of work, NDA, and confidentiality clauses. Your code is yours from day one.

Contractor side

Receive payment

Each person decides how they receive payment in their personal dashboard — bank card, local bank transfer, or stablecoin. Their choice. Zero fees from contractors.

The result

Clean KYT

Your data room shows clean B2B service agreements. Your contractors see documented income for visas and banking. Your investors see compliant IP ownership. Everyone’s happy — and every audit is covered.

“We had 20 engineers across 8 countries and zero compliant contracts. Within a week of Kleos, every contract had IP assignment built in. Our Series A closed without a single legal flag.”

Sarah C.

CTO

“Our accountant used to spend two days a month reconciling contractor invoices in five currencies. Now it’s one dashboard, one invoice, one click.”

Charles R.

Head of finance

“Half our team is in Eastern Europe, half in LATAM. Other platforms don’t cover where we need. Kleos does — and the contracts are actually compliant, not just pretty PDFs.”

Questions SaaS founders actually ask

Fair questions, honest answers

Does every contract include IP assignment by default?

Yes — every Kleos contract assigns IP to you by default, so your product and code stay yours without extra agreements.

What if my contractors are in countries other platforms don’t operate in?

Kleos covers 242 countries, including markets most platforms skip. If your contractor is somewhere others don't reach, chances are we still pay there compliantly.

Can we use Kleos for due diligence and investor data rooms?

Yes. The clean contract structure, IP chain and audit-ready records are built for exactly this — you forward one folder instead of reconstructing a paper trail.

How does pricing work if we scale from 5 to 50 contractors?

Pricing scales per contractor and stays predictable as you grow — no renegotiation or surprise tiers when you go from 5 to 50. Current rates are on the pricing page.
