Track record of
building & scaling
a consumer-facing product.
Appetite for ambiguity and
bias to ship .
Evidence of pursuing hard things relentlessly.
Builder-first mindset, with the imagination and drive to
build an institution, not just an app .
Getting Started
Begin with
20–30% commitment
in the first 1–2 months (equity-compensated for time value).
Transition to full-time after mutual alignment.
Bring$25-50K as skin-in-the-game capital for shared success.
Be financially self-sufficient for ~12 months until salaries kick in from revenue or sustainable funding.
Equity & Structure
15% minimum equity , flexible upward to ~40% based on milestones, scope, and capital contribution.
4-year vesting with 1-year cliff.
Part-time months accrue pro-rata vesting.
Why Join?
Compelling Mission: Make talent development the new social network — a trusted, transparent way for millions to become better while changing lives.
Timing : Early traction + validated model = right moment to shape product, culture, and ownership.
Ownership: True co-founder role, not a hired gun — with significant equity, voice, and upside.
Balanced Team: You’ll join alongside a Business Co-founder (to be jointly onboarded, focused on growth, partnerships & fundraising) and the CEO for Product and Operations — creating a balanced founding team.
Flexibility: Hybrid + autonomy, but with the accountability of in-person meetups and aligned incentives.
