    Description

    Co-Founder (US Market Lead)

    About the Company


    Matriosh is a US-incorporated startup currently operating in stealth mode. Our core team is distributed across the UK and India, and we are in the process of building our MVP.

    This role represents our first US-based co-founder. The United States is our largest and most important market, and this role will be central to building, leading, and scaling the company in that market.

    Role Overview


    We are looking for a Co-Founder who wants to build a company from the ground up and grow into a long-term leadership role. This position is specifically designed for someone who wants to become a co-founder, not an advisor, consultant, or employee.

    You will work closely with the Founder to move Matriosh from a non-operational stage to a fully functioning startup. You will take primary ownership of operations, fundraising, and leadership in the US, and play a key role in shaping the company's strategy and culture.

    Key Responsibilities

    • US Operations & Leadership
      • Lead and build the company's presence in the United States
      • Establish operational structure and execution processes
      • Coordinate closely with distributed teams in the UK and India
      • Act as a core decision-maker in company strategy and direction
    • Fundraising & Growth
      • Lead and support pre-seed and seed fundraising efforts
      • Build relationships with angels, VCs, and strategic partners
      • Create and refine pitch decks, narratives, and investor materials
      • Represent the company in investor meetings and discussions
    • Company Building
      • Validate the business model and market positioning in the US
      • Support go-to-market planning and early partnerships
      • Help build the founding team and hire early roles post-funding

    Ideal Profile

    • Based in the United States
    • Interested in building a startup long-term as a co-founder
    • Exposure to startups, operations, fundraising, or leadership (formal titles not mandatory)
    • Strong communication, persistence, and ownership mindset
    • Comfortable working in an early-stage, ambiguous environment

    This role is well-suited for someone straight out of college or early in their career who is serious about entrepreneurship and wants to grow into a co-founder role through execution and responsibility.

    Compensation & Structure

    • Equity-only at inception (co-founder level)
    • Salary considered after fundraising or revenue milestones
    • No salary, retainer, consulting, or advisory structure

    Why Join

    • Build a company from zero to one
    • Lead the business in its largest and most critical market
    • Clear and explicit path to long-term co-founder status
    • Real ownership, authority, and strategic influence
    • Long-term upside aligned with company success

    Important Note


    This role is strictly for builders who explicitly want to become a co-founder and are comfortable with equity-only compensation at an early stage. This is not a salaried role, consulting engagement, or advisory position.
