We are spinning out a mobile startup in the chat app space built around a patented technology that covers a unique chat functionality and are looking for a Co-Founder to lead the effort.
As an owner of the business, you will be expected to recruit as necessary, and convert the product vision into a reality. Seed funding is available, as is assistance from the research group which developed the technology.
You, of course, must be a self-starter, well-motivated, and have the perseverance to overcome challenges and see things through to a successful conclusion. While you do not necessarily need to have experience running a company, you need to have a track record of success in mobile, an ability to lead, and the creativity, intellect, and drive to overcome obstacles and seize opportunities.
Your equity stake in the business will be similar to what co-founders typically get. You may locate the business where you wish. And while the inventing group will be there to advise and consult, you will run the company.
