Founder Associate – Strategy, Fundraising & Operations (Equity-Only | Co-Founder Opportunity)

Job Description

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.

What You’ll Do

● 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

Who This Role Is For

● 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

What We Care About Most

● 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

Mandatory Note

Please apply only if you are comfortable with an equity-only role and are genuinely interested in becoming a co-founder associate
