Entrepreneur’s Apprentice
  • Entry-level salary + equity + the opportunity to grow alongside the businesses you help build.
  • We’re looking for a smart, gritty, ambitious person who wants to learn how to build a business by doing the work.
  • One day, you might be knocking on doors or making cold calls. The next, you could be building a prototype with Claude, recording a video for social media, improving our SEO, or joining the founder to help close a million-dollar deal.
  • You won’t need to know how to do all of this on day one. You will need curiosity, initiative, and the willingness to keep going when something is difficult, unfamiliar, or uncomfortable.
What you’ll do
  • Find customers: Knock on doors, make outbound calls, prospect, follow up, and book meetings.
  • Learn to sell: Help prepare proposals, join negotiations, and work directly with the founder on deals of increasing size and complexity.
  • Build with AI: Use tools like Claude to create prototypes, websites, automations, and solutions to real business problems.
  • Become a public voice: Record and post videos of yourself explaining products, sharing ideas, and connecting with customers on social media.
  • Grow our reach: Manage SEO, create content, test campaigns, and measure what brings in customers.
  • Keep things moving: Research opportunities, coordinate projects, solve operational problems, and follow through on the details.

The role will evolve as you develop. Expect responsibility early and more ownership as you demonstrate results.

Who you are
  • Smart and curious. You learn quickly, ask good questions, and can turn new information into action.
  • Gritty. Rejection doesn’t stop you. You’re willing to pick up the phone, walk through a door, and try again.
  • Resourceful. When you don’t know how to do something, you research, experiment, and figure it out.
  • Comfortable being visible. You’re willing to speak on camera and represent the business publicly.
  • Reliable. You finish what you start, communicate clearly, and take responsibility for outcomes.
  • Ambitious over the long term. You want to develop valuable skills, earn greater responsibility, and participate in the upside you help create.

We’re especially interested in students or recent graduates from strong universities with evidence of initiative beyond the classroom: a business you started, something you built, a project you led, or a difficult goal you pursued. Strong academic credentials matter; so does what you’ve done with your ability.

Previous sales, coding, or marketing experience is welcome, but isn’t required.

Compensation and opportunity

This is an entry-level role with an entry-level base salary. It also includes equity, with the terms and vesting explained during the hiring process.

You’ll work directly with the founder, gain exposure to real business decisions, and have a path to greater compensation, responsibility, and leadership as your contribution grows. The opportunity is meaningful, and it will require meaningful work.

How to apply
