🚀 Become CRO & Co‑Founder at Onde — Turn Your Event‑Industry Super‑Network into a Life‑Changing Exit 10 % Equity | Commission on Every Deal | No Salary Until Funding (~4 months)
Read This If...
You’ve mastered the art of landing Fortune 500 and blue‑chip clients for experiential agencies. Your phone lights up with CMOs and HR chiefs who trust you to deliver unforgettable events. You’re hungry for an opportunity where your hustle translates directly into eight‑figure upside—not just another year of hitting someone else’s quota.
If that sounds like you, keep reading—because Onde might be the chapter you’ve been waiting for.
The Big Idea
Picture event planning as easy as texting a friend. No endless venue searches, no vendor roulette, no 47‑email chains. Just type a few details and an AI agent orchestrates everything behind the scenes—budgeting, sourcing, logistics—so teams can focus on creativity and connection.
We’ve already delivered paid corporate events without an outbound engine. Now we need a revenue partner who can turn that spark into a wildfire.
- 90‑Day Target: Bring in $50 K in fees. That traction unlocks our angel round, salaries, and bigger ad budgets—just as our next‑gen agents launch.
- 24‑Month Target: Scale to $10 M ARR so your 10 % equity can realistically hit eight figures at exit. (This isn't all sales, it'll also come from product, referral and marketing led growth!)
Why You'll Love This Role
- You own the process. You generate and close pipeline—activating your network, running cold outbound, and proving traction from scratch.
- Sell a true painkiller. We pocket 5–10 % sourcing fees + 5–20 % vendor commissions because we delete busywork executives hate.
- Tech that constantly improves. Our dev team ships fast; your market feedback shapes the roadmap.
- AI use is part of our culture. Use every modern sales tool—sequencers, enrichment, GPT prompts—to 10× outreach. Experiment, break things, share what works.
- Life‑changing upside. No salary for a few months, yes—but the equity is real. We want it worth $10 M+ in your bank when we exit.
