This role follows a phased compensation model designed for a pre-funding, pre-revenue startup. We believe in full transparency so candidates understand exactly how compensation evolves as the company grows.

• This role begins as a sweat-equity position.
• You will earn 3% equity for your contributions during this phase.

• This includes:
• A competitive annual salary
• Performance-based bonuses
• Profit-sharing opportunities
• Continued long-term equity upside tied to company growth

• Vesting: 4-year schedule with a standard 6 or 12-month cliff.
• Performance Tranches: 50% time-vested; 50% milestone-vested tied to capital milestones such as securing the target funding round and closing the initial $700K ask.
• Acceleration:
  Single-trigger acceleration on change of control for unvested milestone tranches; double-trigger for time-based tranches.
• Governance:
  Role reports to Founder/CEO; board observer rights negotiable upon achieving critical fundraising milestones.
• 30 Days:
  Finalize investor narrative, deck, and financial model; build a prioritized target investor list of 100+ qualified leads; launch initial outreach.
• 60 Days:
  Secure 10+ qualified investor meetings; obtain at least 3 data-room or diligence requests.
• 90 Days:
  Convert initial pipeline into active term sheets; finalize the legal closing roadmap.

This position involves confidential corporate strategy and securities communications. Final compensation, equity architecture, and investor onboarding frameworks will be finalized in coordination with company legal counsel.
