Common Questions

How many projects can I apply for?

There is no limit, but we recommend focusing on one Live Op at a time to ensure high-quality delivery. Your reputation in The Log depends on successful completions.

What if my application is declined?

This is part of the process. Startups and companies often receive multiple applications. Use the feedback (if provided) to strengthen your profile and keep applying.

How do I get paid?

For Paid Projects, payments are released upon the successful completion of milestones, as agreed in the project scope.
