StealthCo
CEO/Company Launcher Program
Part-time to full-time or MBA internship
We're looking for CEOs. We have identified a number of attractive markets to build a specific type of business. We've built these businesses before in other markets and will support the CEOs of these new businesses with capital, playbooks, and mentorship. This is a relatively low risk way of starting a company that you will be able to operate from anywhere.
If you've always wanted to run your own company, this could be your opportunity. Our goal is for you to lead the company full-time as soon as this program ends, but depending on your abilities and other commitments, we're open to you starting out part-time. This would also be a great role for an MBA summer.
StealthCo has raised money from top VCs and angel investors.
What you'll do
Month 1 (Ideally, May 2021)
Do in-depth research on two or three potential markets and put together briefs evaluating each market (chosen by StealthCo, but open to your suggestions)
Conduct customer interviews to deepen your knowledge of these markets
Shadow current CEOs to learn best practices on running these types of businesses
With StealthCo team, decide on the market you'll build in
Build your strategy to launch in this market
If you are in school, this work can be done during the semester
Month 2
Create the product offering with help from StealthCo team
Create the growth plan with help from StealthCo team
Launch and acquire your first customers
Month 3 and 4
Deliver on the product offering
Execute on the growth plan
At the end of Month 4 (if you hit the goals that we set out for you), you'll have the opportunity to decide whether you want to stay on as CEO of the company you've launched, launch another company with the same method, or go in a different direction.
If you decide to stay, you'll have StealthCo's support as you scale to millions in annual revenue with full operational control over the company. Over time, you'll build a small team, but you likely won't make any full-time hires in your first year. This means that you'll learn every part of the business intimately, from strategy to product to sales to customer support.
Our ideal candidate is...
An entrepreneur - you've run an influencer account, started a non-profit, built a business unit, or exited a venture-backed company
Comfortable operating independently - you'll have operational control over the company that we build together
A people person - not afraid to send a cold email, host an event, or talk about your company on Twitter
Relentless - you have a burning desire to build something great
Long-term oriented - you think in decades and act in seconds
Generous - you know the best way to succeed is to give first
How you’ll find meaning
Completely own the results of your actions as a leader
Work alongside ambitious peers who push you to be better every day
Make the lives of your customers better in tangible ways
Learn how to start and scale a company
How you'll make money
The first four months:
Stipend plus a bonus if you achieve a clear milestone
Afterward:
Salary
Significant, uncapped variable compensation tied to the success of your company
Equity in StealthCo
