Here's one way to change the world: Help small businesses adapt to new technologies. Did you know there are over 20 million SMBs in Europe, which make up 99% of all companies? They drive over half of our economy and are responsible for 2/3 of all jobs.
Yet, it's hard for them to implement new software. They often lack the time, awareness, or skills. In return, many business owners lose out because they don’t respond to leads, forget to collect payments, miscommunicate, manage their hiring badly, etc.
Our mission is to help European SMB owners to adopt technology and improve their businesses. If they do better, we all do better.
We're looking for a Co-Founder with either a technical or business background for a new SMB tech venture.
About Us
We're a group of founders, investors, and growth experts led by serial entrepreneur Feliks Eyser, who has a background in SMB tech. Feliks started RegioHelden, a digital marketing platform for SMBs, which he grew to hundreds of employees and exited to a publicly listed company. Since then, he has invested in SMB tech companies like Superchat, Nelly, Quotez, EterniTeam, Truckoo, and Glorya.ai.
The Role
As Co-Founder, you are fully responsible for setting and executing the company’s vision, recruiting the team, and building the company.
* You will set strategic goals and get your hands dirty in the day-to-day trenches.
* You'll either oversee product, sales, or operations.
* You’ll hire and lead a team of A-players and be responsible for managing your part of the organization.
* You have the budget- and P&L responsibility.
* You will be responsible for fundraising and handling investor relations.
* You'll work closely with the investors and the board.
You’re either a builder or a seller. A builder is responsible for crafting a world-class product. A seller is responsible for rapid growth.
* You have 3-5 years of experience in start-ups. Maybe you started a company before. We love 2nd or 3rd founders! Or you have worked in a fast-paced start-up environment.
* You’re highly driven and resilient, with an upbeat "can-do personality."
* You’re highly intelligent and numbers-driven.
* You have a thirst for learning and personal growth. You are highly coachable.

* Strategy: We will help you move in the right direction and focus on the right things. There’s nothing worse than executing flawlessly on the wrong priorities.
* Fundraising: Support through our network of hundreds of investors. Your benefit: We know them, and they know us. You'll get our support from crafting a compelling storyline to drafting the perfect deck and nailing the pitch.
* Recruiting: We help you attract the best talent and set up a professional hiring process from the get-go.
* Go-to-market: You'll get access to the playbooks we've used to attract thousands of SMB clients to our own companies.
* Advisory Board: Getting the right advisors and experts on board can make the biggest difference. We support you with that.
* Network: We connect you with relevant suppliers, vetted freelancers, potential partners, as well as other SMB Tech founders for experience sharing.

We're looking forward to your application!
Best,
Feliks
