FOUNDING CHIEF GROWTH OFFICER (STRATEGY & CAPITAL)
WeeGo Trips
Location: Remote, with a strong plus for Chicago or Denver
Type: Independent advisory and consulting engagement to start, converting to a full-time executive role once we are funded
Compensation: Founding equity now, cash compensation as the company is funded (details below)
THE OPPORTUNITY
This is a rare one. Most "founding" roles ask you to bet on a napkin sketch. WeeGo is further along: the business plan is written, the product spec is at v4, the brand is built, a clickable demo is live, and a $600K seed round is open on a YC SAFE. What's missing is the consumer growth leader who turns that tight foundation into traction and helps shape how we raise.
If you've built and scaled growth inside real consumer products and want to do that work at the founding level, with real equity and a real voice, this seat was built for you.
ABOUT WEEGO
WeeGo Trips makes group travel affordable, easy, and fun. You pay your share over time, so almost anyone can go and the organizer never fronts the entire cost. Planning, group decisions, and messaging live in one place, and a social layer keeps people coming back before, during, and after the trip. See the live clickable demo and more at weegotrips.com.

WHY THIS ROLE IS BETTER THAN MOST
• The hard groundwork is done. You spend your energy on growth and relationships, not on building the story from scratch.
• A true founding seat. Real founding equity, a real voice at the table, and a hands-on founder who built the plan, the spec, the brand, and the investor materials directly.
• A product with a clear wedge. Affordability and ease get people in the door. The social layer keeps them, and brings their friends.
• Clean and honest from day one. Transparent structure, equity for the seat, and a founder who runs the raise by the book.
WHAT YOU'LL OWN
• Strategy and narrative. Sharpen the positioning, the financial story, and the path to market so it lands with investors and partners.
• Capital strategy. Partner with the founder and counsel on the raise narrative, and help get WeeGo in front of the right investors through your network.
• Growth and partnerships. Line up the vendor, channel, and strategic partnerships that accelerate the path to launch.
• Founding leadership. A real voice at the founding table on direction, priorities, and the next hires.
WHAT YOU BRING
• A consumer growth track record. You've built and scaled growth functions inside real consumer products. Acquisition, retention, virality, monetization, marketplace cold-start. You've moved meaningful numbers at companies customers care about.
• An active operator and partner network. Relationships across consumer tech, fintech, travel, or marketplaces, including the operators, designers, and engineers who help things ship. Investor relationships are a real plus and useful to the raise.
• Narrative and positioning craft. You turn a product and a market into a crisp story for users, partners, and investors. You can sharpen the deck, shape the data room, and tell it sharp on your feet and on the page.
• Strategic and financial fluency. You read a model, size a market credibly, and tie investments to clear milestones. You can think about how a $600K round buys a believable path to Series A metrics.
• Partnership and growth instincts. You open vendor, channel, and strategic-partner doors, and you turn early conversations into agreements that move the business forward.
• High autonomy and clean instincts. You build the playbook instead of waiting for one, you move with urgency, and you operate by the book, protecting the cap table and the company's standing with every investor you touch.
BONUS BACKGROUND
• Direct experience leading or supporting a pre-seed or seed raise.
• Consumer fintech, travel, or marketplace category depth.
• Hands-on product and design partnership at founding stage.
HOW COMPENSATION WORKS
We believe in full transparency about how compensation evolves as the company grows.
• Phase 1 (now): an independent advisory and consulting engagement, not employment, with a meaningful founding equity grant for the role that vests over four years with a one-year cliff. You keep your current job and set your own hours. What matters is outcomes, warm introductions, and strategic execution.
• Phase 2 (once funded): the engagement converts to a paid executive (employee) role on a budget set by the founder and finance, continuing through the first profitable year.
• Phase 3 (at the first profitable year): a competitive salary, performance bonus, profit-sharing, and continued long-term equity upside tied to company growth.
Your equity is for the role and its outcomes, set with counsel and vesting over time. It is not a commission or a per-dollar fee on capital raised.
