Co-Founder (Equity + Capital Participation) | UK Startup

Co-Founder (Equity + Capital Participation) | UK Startup

We’re building a modern platform for buying and selling SME businesses, UK and worldwide.

Think:

Marketplace infrastructure + structured AI deal execution + smart AI DD tools — all designed to make business exits less chaotic and more efficient. In the future fractional business ownership via blockchain infrastructure.

It’s early. It’s ambitious. And we’re assembling the core founding team now.

We’re looking for a Co-Founder to join at ground level.

What This Is (And What It Isn’t)

This isn’t a salaried job.

This is a genuine co-founder position with:

• Meaningful equity
• Real operational responsibility
• Capital participation optional for higher equity stake

What You’d Be Owning

You’ll lead GTM strategy, marketing from day one:

• Brand positioning in a traditional, fragmented industry
• Building and maintaining relationships/partnerships with stakeholders
• GTM strategy (buyers + sellers)
• Paid acquisition testing
• SEO & content strategy
• Marketplace liquidity strategy
• Email funnels and conversion
• Founder-led growth experiments
• Partnership marketing

Who You Are

• You’ve scaled something before (marketplace, SaaS, fintech, proptech or B2B preferred)
• You understand growth loops and acquisition economics
• You’re comfortable in early-stage ambiguity
• You want to build something meaningful — not just optimise ads

Bonus if you enjoy disrupting old-school industries.

Structure

• Founding-level equity
• Active operational role

Optional capital injection goes toward:

• MVP build
• Early paid acquisition
• Brand & launch runway

We’re building this properly, not winging it.

Why This Is Interesting

• Massive SME exit market in the UK and worldwide
• Legacy industry ripe for modernisation
• High-ticket transactions
• Real revenue potential
• Early ownership position

If you’ve been waiting for the right thing to build — this might be it.
