About Us

Our mission at DUPAY is to eliminate late and unpaid invoices for creators, freelancers, and small businesses. We build tools and services to help our customers improve their cash flow, and well being, as business owners.

Creators put their talent, time, and trust into every job they take. But too often, getting paid for that work means navigating confusing contracts, chasing unresponsive clients, and fighting disputes alone or handing over a cut of their earnings just to recover what was already theirs. DUPAY was built to change that.

Founded by lawyers who’ve seen firsthand what happens when creators don’t have protection, we created a platform that covers creators and agencies at every stage – before the job, during the work, and when payment gets complicated. Our tools are lawyer-built. Our advocates are in your corner. And unlike the alternatives, we never take a percentage of what you recover or charge high hourly fees. One flat monthly rate. Everything you need to get paid for the work you’ve already done. Because you created it. You should get paid for it. All of it. Everytime.

Built by lawyers to help creators protect their income

“All creators, freelancers, and small businesses deserve affordable and effective income protection.”

Grace, Founder

Grace has spent her career advocating for people who deserve more protection than the system gives them. After graduating from Northwestern University and Columbia Law School, she built a career in advocacy spanning women leaders in Asia, food sustainability in Europe and child asylum work in the US.

The through line across every chapter of Grace’s career is the same: building accessible, effective systems for people who need protection but can’t always afford it. DUPAY is the natural extension of that work – bringing real legal tools and advocacy support to creators, freelancers, and agencies who deserve to be paid fully and fairly for what they create.

Geoffrey, COO

Geoffrey brings twenty years of strategy and operations experience across some of the world’s most recognizable companies. A Harvard graduate with a JD/MBA from Columbia University, he has worked at McKinsey, Mattel, and Snapchat – giving him a firsthand view of how cash flow and payment protection affect businesses at every stage, from global corporations to early stage startups.

That experience made one thing clear: access to income protection shouldn’t be reserved for companies with legal departments. Geoff co-founded DUPAY to give creators and agencies the same tools and advocacy that larger organizations take for granted – at a price that works for the way they actually do business.
