⚠️Important Notes⚠️

This is not for the faint of heart or weak of heart. You’ll be working directly under a blunt, fast-paced Co-Founder who values honesty, speed, and accountability.

Expect growth, chaos, and real startup scars — but also, unmatched experience.

What you’ll do

• Map problems & segments; run user/expert interviews

• Design quick experiments (landing pages, ads, outreach, concierge tests)

• Launch, measure, and iterate in days, not weeks

• Analyze early signals (CTR, CVR, replies, waitlist sign-ups, demo requests)

• Log hypotheses, results, and recommendations: proceed / pivot / kill

• Research & analysis: Investigate tools, vendors, competitors, markets; turn data into insights and recommendations.

• Data work: Build simple dashboards, analyze customer/marketing/business trends, and support basic data governance.

You’re a fit if you

• Love discovery, ambiguity, and building from zero

• Communicate clearly; turn vague ideas into small, testable plans

• Are data-curious (basic metrics, UTMs, Sheets) and resourceful

• Can commit to a fast cadence

What you’ll learn

• Evidence-driven market validation from discovery → trial → learning

• Designing cheap tests that answer big questions

• Reading early demand signals and making go/no-go calls
