Industry Advisor · A founding opportunity

Your industry knowledge could become the next product.

We’re looking for an experienced industry professional to explore a promising business opportunity with us.

A short introduction form

  • No upfront cost
  • Eight-week validation
  • One hour a week after kickoff

01

What we want

We want to identify one recurring industry problem that is expensive, frustrating and still poorly solved.

Our goal is to validate demand with real customers, generate revenue as early as possible and bootstrap a durable, profitable company.

02

How we’ll work

  1. Week

    1.

    A 30-minute introduction

    Commitment 30 minutes
  2. Week

    2.

    An industry deep dive

    You help us understand important workflows, bottlenecks, existing solutions and problems the industry has learned to tolerate.

    Commitment 2 hours
  3. Week

    3 — 8.

    A focused six-week validation period

    Together, we speak with practitioners and buyers, investigate one promising problem and test whether customers are prepared to pay for a solution.

    Commitment 1 hour per week

  4. Next.

    Formalizing the relationship

    If the evidence is strong and we work well together, we form the company, agree on the advisory role, equity and revenue-sharing terms, and begin building.

    Commitment To be determined

03

What we ask from you

  • Share your industry knowledge and challenge our assumptions.
  • Introduce us to relevant practitioners, decision-makers and potential customers.
  • Participate in regular conversations during the validation period and help shape the initial go-to-market approach.

04

What we offer

Vested equity + Defined revenue share

This is not initially a salaried role. If we continue after validation, compensation would combine vested equity with a defined share of collected revenue from customers you help bring in.

You would participate in shaping the opportunity while we take responsibility for customer research, product strategy, design, engineering and delivery.

05

Who we are

Egor.

  • Software engineer

I build products that companies end up buying. As one of the first engineers at a startup, I took its product from pre-release to scale, building the technical foundation that made two acquisitions possible. On this project, I’ll handle engineering and delivery.

Tatiana.

  • Product manager

I turn industry conversations into validated products. I’ve done customer research and product strategy for companies like Belkin, hold an MS in business from LMU, and grew a media project to 80K+ listens with brand sponsorships. On this project, I’ll handle customer discovery, market validation, operations and go-to-market.

06

Who we hope to meet

  • You have deep experience in a particular industry.
  • You enjoy sharing what you have learned throughout your career.
  • You recognize persistent problems that outsiders overlook.
  • You remain connected to people currently working in the industry.
  • You would enjoy giving advice and shaping something new without having to build it alone.
  • You are interested in a meaningful entrepreneurial chapter with long-term upside.
