Technical Co-Founder with Hunsicker

Department: Business Broker Marketplace Concept

Location: Lexington, KY

Description

Over the next 20 years, $80 trillion in private businesses will be sold to new owners or transferred to the next generation. Most of these businesses will have less than 100 employees and be valued under $30MM (a.k.a., the "lower market"). Meanwhile, more high-net-worth individuals are shrewdly looking to diversify their investment portfolios, and there's renewed interest in business acquisitions. However, the business buy/sell advisory resources available to serve this transition are antiquated, slow, expensive, and lack sophistication.

We are seeking a co-founder keen to build a company with us that will disrupt the lower-market business buy/sell model. The ideal co-founder will work with the Hunsicker team to further develop, launch, and execute this vetted concept, which will initially focus on industries such as manufacturing and home services.

The right co-founder will be hyper-focused on taking this proposed platform from idea to launch and from launch to scale, simplifying the transaction process and providing innovative tools such as automated business valuations, secure communication, and data-driven insights to buyers and sellers alike.

Upon initial screening, promising candidates will be asked to sign an NDA and be provided further information on the concept for their review ahead of our first conversation.

What You Bring

• A winning capability in product design, software development, and engineering, particularly within platforms focusing on connecting buyers and sellers through secure, efficient, and technology-driven solutions.


• Highly knowledgeable in the different business valuation approaches for non-tech/software sectors and industries.


• Ideally have been part of a business acquisition or sale and have an understanding of the transaction process, players involved, challenges, and pain points.


• Strong track record of building and scaling a business or product, including overcoming challenges, a strong work ethic, and a desire to build a high-growth company.


• An entrepreneurial mindset with the determination to scale a company from zero to one and beyond, particularly in the context of a technology-driven marketplace.

What We Bring

• 
  Vetted Concept: Embark on a venture with a strong foundation. Our concept has undergone rigorous validation to ensure its potential. We have already invested time and capital to determine viability.


• 
  Seed Capital: Start the journey on a strong footing with our commitment to provide the necessary seed capital to turn groundbreaking ideas into actionable business plans.


• 
  Favorable Equity Terms: We value dedication and drive. As we help build the foundation of this new venture together, we offer terms that recognize and reward the commitment of the Co-Founder as well.


• 
  Competitive Compensation & Benefits: We believe in rewarding talent appropriately. Expect a remuneration package that matches the skills and experience of the Co-Founder, complemented by a comprehensive benefits suite.


• 
  Wrap-Around Administrative Support: Focus on what founding team members do best – designing and building. Leave the administrative legwork to us, from HR to finance, so you can concentrate on building the product.


• 
  State-of-the-Art Innovation Space: Work in an environment designed to foster creativity. Our Hunsicker Innovation Space is more than just an office; it's a hub of collaboration and forward-thinking.


• 
  Strategic Partner Network: Gain a competitive edge with our affiliations. From technology to market access, leverage Hunsicker's strong ties with strategic partners to accelerate growth.

Collaborative Business Strategy Development: Begin with the advantage of having the innovative business experience of our team at the ready, without having the burden of this expertise on the startup's payroll.

What can you expect from this process?

This will not be a traditional interview process. Successful candidates who have the skills, background, capability, and passions should expect to meet/talk with our team members regularly to formulate and align on a strategy, product development roadmap, and go-to-market plan that aims to achieve product-market fit.

This process is deliberate. Co-designing the solution allows us to assess compatibility effectively. Building a company is incredibly challenging, and we aspire to build a very high-caliber company. That is only achievable through alignment and mutual trust, which can't be accomplished through a few one-hour interviews.

This isn't just a job; ideally, this opportunity will coincide with a calling. It's also a long-term partnership and mutual commitment. We don't believe this can or should be rushed. Expect a process that could take upwards of three months.

Once we mutually agree to move forward, this role will be paid a market-rate competitive salary, including health benefits and 401K.
