Seeking 50/50 Technical & Business Co-Founder — StickDeath Platform
Role: Co-Founder (Technical + Business)
Equity: 50/50 Partnership
Stage: Working MVP + Full Business Portfolio
Compensation: Equity only (no salary at this stage)
About the Opportunity
StickDeath is the revival and evolution of a recognizable early internet animation brand, rebuilt as a modern, creator-driven platform. The foundation is already established:
- ✅ Working MVP
- ✅ Complete business portfolio and strategy
- ✅ Pitch deck ready
- ✅ Defined monetization and growth model
- ✅ Nostalgic brand with an existing audience to leverage
This is not an idea-stage project. The vision, positioning, and roadmap exist. What’s needed now is a partner who can help build and run the business.
Who I’m Looking For
I’m seeking a true 50/50 co-founder—someone who can operate at both the product and business level.
You should be comfortable:
- Getting up to speed quickly on an existing vision and strategy
- Co-owning decisions, risk, and execution
- Helping lead the company, not just writing code
- Representing the business in conversations with investors, sponsors, and partners
This is not a freelance role or advisory position.
Responsibilities
Product & Technology
- Co-develop and evolve the mobile app
- Build and maintain the web platform
- Help shape technical architecture and roadmap
- Ensure scalability, reliability, and UX quality
Business & Growth
- Co-run the business day-to-day
- Assist with fundraising, sponsorships, and strategic partnerships
- Participate in investor outreach and pitch discussions
- Help refine go-to-market strategy and monetization
- Collaborate on long-term vision and expansion
Ideal Background
Experience in some combination of:
- Mobile and/or web app development
- Early-stage startups or indie products
- Fundraising, partnerships, or sponsorship discussions
- Consumer platforms, creator tools, or media brands
More important than specific tech stacks:
ownership mindset, communication skills, and the ability to execute.
Partnership Structure
- 50/50 equity partnership
- Shared ownership of StickDeath, StickDeath Infinity, NEW StickDeath, and all related entities
- Equal decision-making authority
- Long-term commitment to growing the brand and platform
Why This Is Compelling
- Recognizable brand with strong nostalgic advantage
- Existing community and cultural awareness to leverage
- User-generated content model that is naturally scalable
- Multiple monetization paths (video networks, ads, sponsorships, commerce)
- Rare opportunity to join after strategy is defined but before scale
Next Step
I’d like to start with a casual conversation to:
- Walk through the business portfolio and pitch deck
- Discuss the product and strategy
- Align on roles, expectations, and vision
- See if this feels like the right partnership
