Founder Associate – Strategy, Fundraising & Operations (Equity-Only | Co-Founder Opportunity)
We are a stealth-mode startup, currently in the process of building our MVP and not yet operational. We are looking for a Founder Associate who will work directly with the founder on team building, fundraising preparation, and operations. This is a pure equity-only role at a very early stage. This role is specifically for someone who wants to become a co-founder.
It offers a clear and direct opportunity to transition into a co-founder role based on performance, ownership, persistence, and long-term commitment. This opportunity is well-suited for someone straight out of college or early in their career who wants real responsibility, ownership, and first-hand experience building a startup from zero.
- Help identify, screen, and coordinate with potential co-founders and early team members
- Work closely with the founder on fundraising preparation (pitch decks, investor research, outreach planning)
- Support operations and internal structuring as the company takes shape
- Act as a close execution and strategy partner to the founder
- Bring consistency, follow-through, and ownership in an ambiguous, early-stage environment
- Someone straight out of college or early in their career
- Someone who explicitly wants to grow into a co-founder role
- No strict experience requirement; mindset and commitment matter more than resume
- Strong interest in startups, entrepreneurship, and company-building
- Comfortable working in a non-operational, MVP-stage startup
- Willing to commit to a salary-free, equity-only role initially
- Persistence and reliability
- Ownership mindset
- Strong communication and follow-up
- Long-term commitment Compensation & Growth
- Equity only (no cash compensation at this stage)
- Clear opportunity to become a CO-FOUNDER
- Direct exposure to fundraising, hiring, and strategic decision-making
- Please apply only if you are comfortable with an equity-only role and are genuinely interested in becoming a co-founder.
