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
