🚀 Become CRO & Co‑Founder at Onde — Turn Your Event-Industry Superpower into a Life-Changing Exit
10% Equity | Commissions from Day One | Salaries Post-Funding (~4 months)
Read This If...
You’ve spent years landing Fortune 500 clients and know the event industry inside out. Your network spans CMOs, CHROs, and Event Directors, and they trust you to deliver magic. But you’re hungry—not for another quota to hit, but for an opportunity where your hustle aligns with massive upside. Ready to turn your playbook into an eight-figure exit? Let’s talk.
The Big Idea
Picture event planning as easy as texting a friend.
No endless venue searches. No chasing down vendors. 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, impact 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. As CRO, you’ll be the driving force behind our revenue strategy, scaling from pilot traction to industry dominance. This isn’t just about closing deals; it’s about shaping the future of event planning.
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 sales process. You generate and close pipeline—activating your network, running cold outbound, and proving traction from scratch.
Sell a true painkiller. We take 5–10 % sourcing fees + 5–20 % vendor commissions because we delete busywork executives hate and help vendors with leads.
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.
