Who they are looking for
<p>I’m looking for a<strong> business and growth co-founder</strong> to lead venue partnerships, sales, and user acquisition for Èsì in Nigeria and across Africa. The ideal person has a hospitality, restaurant, events, or consumer-marketplace background, with an existing network of venue owners. Experience running local campaigns or onboarding venues to a two-sided marketplace is the most useful.</p><p><br></p><p>I’m the founder and sole builder, and the product is finished. Android, iOS, web, and admin are live on one backend. You won’t be waiting for a build. Your job is to take it to market.</p><p><br></p><p>We work remote-first, with in-person meetings for venue visits if you’re in Lagos or another Nigerian city. I’d expect a few weekly calls, a shared roadmap, and honest updates on what is and isn’t working. I handle product and engineering. You own growth and partnerships.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Stakes:</strong> equity, with vesting. The percentage depends on the person’s role and commitment, and we’ll agree on it together. Decisions on product and technology are mine. Decisions on go-to-market are yours. Major decisions, such as raising money, we make together.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Next step:</strong> message me with a short note on venues or products you’ve grown before, and what you’d do in the first 90 days.</p>
