A founder-mentality developer. A great developer who's willing to take a pay cut for a larger amount of equity. Competition is fierce, and we're not in crypto :'(
When I was 19 I answered an ad for an internship. I met these 2 clowns in a chinese shop where the first thing they wanted from me was to sign an NDA. They were so hyper-protective of their product idea that I still don't know what it is. The most I got out of them is that it's some sort of dating app (this was years ago IDK where they are now).
I put their product on the side and talked to them about the company and this is what I learned:
Q: how many employees work here
A: it's just the two of us (2 founders)
Q: do we already have some product
A: no
Q: is this a paid position
A: yes (press x to doubt here)
Q: how much?
A: we can pay equity
Q: how much investment do you have
A: none
Q: how much equity do you want to give me?
A: how much do you want?
* wtf kind of a question was that, I thought I was interviewing for an internship*
Q: how is this an internship? This sounds to me like you're looking for an investor.
A: some mumbojumbo about what I'll learn running a company virtually by myself
Is this a common thing? Companies trying to 'hire' investors?
Something I have in mind is learning to dance, for instance. It'll take you a couple of hours to get the basics down, and give back lots of fun in parties.
Rockit | Remote | Can start Part-Time, eventual Full time | CTO or Experienced Swift Dev
Currently, freelance instructors of any kinds have to wear many hats. They write books, post on IG, get clients, keep track of their clients, and manage bookings. They are grossly underserved yet the number of these individuals keeps rising. This is where Rockit comes in!
We are looking for a CTO or experienced swift developer (+ points if Full Stack) for Rockit, a health and wellness marketplace currently operating in Hong Kong but with plans of expansion to Asia in the coming year (www.getrockit.co / www.instagram.com/rockithq).
We are a team of four engineers (one of which is a co-founder), and a marketing/growth expert (the other co-founder) and are about to roll out our product and then will begin raising money, so your involvement (and respective equity compensation) will be substantial in shaping the future of many freelancers who are on our platform.
Project is currently 100% bootstrapped by co-founders, and are planning to apply to YC and other incubators this year (*EXCITING*!).
PS: You must be as passionate as we are about the space. Having experience with coaching or being coached in either the health and wellness space or any other arts discipline is a must in order to understand the product.
I'm not sure what to make of this.. what's so special?
