| The proposal: If you're running a startup and need any help, I can be your on-site executive assistant for free. I can help you in product management, sales, marketing, business development, partnerships, alliances, customer feedback, reaching out to big players to negotiate terms/contracts, and any other work that'll make your startup successful. You don't have to offer me stipend and you don't have to promise me equity or job. No strings attached and no obligation whatsoever. Food and living space would be nice but not must. My only condition is you have to be running your startup in technology/mobile/web/SaaS space. Why am I doing this: I quit my job six figure job to join something more interesting. I want to work closely with founders and startups to see what exactly it is to work in startups. Down the line, I plan to join a startup/emerging company to create something wonderful. About me: I'm 30 y.o. and have worked with Fortune 500 companies in technology sales, business development, business consulting, program and product management. I have an undergrad in computer applications and an MBA. Apart from this, I can read code, fire sql statements, configure websites, and make HTML pages but haven't coded for a living ever. When can I join: I can join in anytime within a week's notice and can stay as long as you need me. Is this a joke: Certainly not. You can ask for documentation about my qualification or my last pay slip. I'd be ready to discuss anything on phone or email (username at gmail). I can give you ex-employer references or client references for you to verify. Overall, it's my humble attempt to understand startup world by helping real startups. Please share any suggestions that you might have. Many thanks. |
