We are seeking an ambitious, high-conviction Co-Founder & CEO with proven B2B IT sales and startup experience to lead our IT consulting startup from 0 to 1.

You will join a founding team with strong technical execution capabilities (cloud, software engineering, AI, data architecture) to build, launch, and scale high-margin consulting services.

Because we are bootstrapping our initial growth phase, this position does not offer a fixed base salary at start. Instead, we offer a substantial co-founder equity percentage(applicable after 6 Months) along with an immediate, high-percentage profit share on generated revenue, transitioning into standard executive compensation once predictable cash flow or funding milestones are met.

Compensation & Risk Structure

- Equity: Significant Co-Founder Equity (vesting schedule & cliff to be agreed upon).

- Initial Pay: 0 Base Salary during the initial build/pre-revenue phase.

- Profit Share: Direct payout/percentage share on gross profits / revenue generated from signed consulting contracts.

- Future Transition: Clear milestone roadmap to institute competitive executive base salaries post target revenue / seed capital threshold.

Core Responsibilities

1. Go-To-Market (GTM) & Business Development (70% Focus Initially)

- Lead client acquisition end-to-end: lead generation, pitching enterprise software/cloud consulting services, contract negotiation, and closing.

- Leverage personal and skilled networks to secure initial enterprise, mid-market, or SMB clients in target markets (US, Europe, Middle East, India).

- Design service packages, pricing models (Fixed-Cost, Time & Materials, Dedicated Engineering Teams), and margin structures.

2. Strategy, Positioning & P&L; Leadership

- Define target verticals, core offerings, and long-term commercial strategy.

- Take full ownership of revenue,



cash-flow management, and unit economics.

- Position the firm as a high-value consulting partner rather than a low-cost vendor.

3. Investor Relations & Capital Raising (If Applicable)

- Pitch to seed/angel investors and strategic partners when capital infusion is required for scale.

- Build pitch decks, investor pipelines, and cap table governance.

4. Operational & Delivery Oversight

- Collaborate with technical co-founders to align client requirements with engineering execution.

- Help recruit initial business development, account management, and client-facing consulting talent as cash flow expands.

Requirements

Must-Have Requirements

- Startup / Founder Experience: Past experience as a founder, co-founder, early employee, or P&L; head in an IT services/consulting venture

- B2B Tech Sales Track Record: Proven background in selling high-value IT services, software consulting, or managed services.

- Financial Runway: Financial independence/readiness to work on sweat equity + profit sharing during the initial launch phase.

- Network Access: Direct access to decision-makers (CTOs, CIOs, VP of Engineering, Founders) who hire tech consulting partners.

Key Skills & Mindset

- High risk tolerance, extreme ownership mentality, and hands-on execution grit.

- Strong negotiation, executive presence, and enterprise pitch closing capabilities.

- Clear understanding of IT delivery frameworks, billable rates, and software project margins.

What Makes This Opportunity Unique?

- Pre-Built Technical Strength: Immediate partnership with technical co-founders capable of executing complex engineering deliverables.

- Uncapped Upside: Direct financial rewards from Day 1 through revenue profit sharing.

- Full Autonomy: Absolute freedom to build the commercial architecture, brand, and culture from scratch.
