Founder of start-up looking for a jack-of-all-trades to run the company. All titles on the table: CEO/COO/CFO. However, please be aware, the job will be the same regardless of the title.
What’s the opportunity look like…
– Company has no debt
– Company names (AAACK and AAACK Packs) – trademarked
– Product is patented
– Product in the warehouse and ready to ship
– Online ordering available but we also do shows and conferences where we typically sell out
– Initial interest from QVC and HSN (couldn’t fulfill their order size requirements so we weren’t onboarded). However, they understood the visual nature of the product and thought it would play well on TV and to their audience.
– Warehouse space in north Texas is provided at no cost to the company
– Monthly fixed costs are minimal
– Co-located with a pharmacy which provides OTC products (see the website at http://www.aaackpacks.com) at cost.
– Founder owns 100% of the voting shares and 95% of the company (5% owned by advisors). Equity available to candidate or investors.
– Did we say, “no debt.” However, we may need to raise funds (VC or from sharks, see below) to support marketing, production, and growth.
We believe the best applicant will be someone from the ends of the bell curve. Either someone very early in their career who can take a risk, or someone late in their career who is networked and looking for a possible flyer. Either of those candidates is ideal. Additionally, we’re not asking for a buy-in, but we’ll most likely want to raise some funds. Experience doing that will make your job that much easier.
The candidate will work closely with the founder to develop the most optimum going forward strategy. This will be a real collaboration and not a to-do list. We have access to start-up counsel and legal and marketing support, if needed, and all other functions are in place. The primary one being access to factories in China thru our manufacturing partner who also has extensive logistics.
End game: this is not something we have to own in perpetuity. A build it and sell it strategy is an option. Also, at least 20 people have said we should go on Shark Tank to raise capital or harness resources and awareness. Given the requirements of the show, we’re a good fit and open to the possibility.
Please, only serious candidates need apply. Be self-aware and know you’re limitations. We’re not going to offer you a percent of the company with no performance incentives and very little experience getting things done. The contract will be drafted by my attorney who has extensive experience in the start-up space. Even someone early in their career should be able to show experience in the types of things that will need to be done. If we’re always providing direction, that will be a bad sign and won’t end well. Please review the website. If this company, its products and mission doesn’t call to you, you may not be the best fit. This company is all about preparing for the unexpected. We do it so the customer doesn’t have to. Good luck!
