- Raising angel and venture capital to grow the business.

- Directly selling to key accounts for initial revenue.

- Deep knowledge of tech startups or one of the spaces/company sectors described above.
- Leadership personality with strong oral and presentation skills.

Compensation.
This is a heavy upside compensation plan so only successful executives and entrepreneurs with lasting power should apply (would be wholly inappropriate for those with little success living between paychecks who need an immediate base salary to apply so please do not). We are targeting the Co-Founding President to own about 25% of the company at the three year mark with vesting accelerators based on key benchmarks. The compensation plan* is split among five (5) components as follows:

1. Share of Revenue. 25% of own net sales and 10% of your reps' net sales in the first year and scaling down as revenue grows to not exceed $300K/year.
2. Stock Earn-In. 8% of current shares per year with a target of around 25% ownership of current shares at the three year mark.
3. Base Earn-In. There is no upfront base (true co-founder) but once revenue reaches a certain level you may elect to reduce your share of revenue in lieu of a base salary to not exceed $200K/year.
4. Dividends. Once profitability is reached you would quality for dividends according to your company ownership at that time.
5. Exit Payout. We would target an exit in the 3-5 year mark for around $20M so if you earned your shares and no additional stock issued then your payout would be $5 million.

*The above is not a compensation offer, all aspects of the compensation plan will be governed by the actual written compensation and shareholder agreements.

Location.
Silicon Valley / Palo Alto / San Francisco - We will provide a modern, well-equipped office in an agreed location amenable to hiring the core team over time.
