CEO - Deferred Salary + Major performance bonus

About the Opportunity We are a high-conviction, early-stage venture entering a transformational growth phase. The founder is currently bootstrapping and seeking a world-class Chief Executive Officer to architect, capitalise, and operationalise the business at scale.

This is a rare opportunity for a capital markets–savvy executive to lead from inception to institutional scale, with a clear mandate:

• Raise a $200,000,000 USD Series A
• Establish the company as a fully operational and sustainable going concern
• Deliver structured governance, systems, and execution within the first three years

This role is best suited for a builder — not a maintainer.

The Mandate The incoming CEO will:

• Lead and close a $200M USD Series A capital raise
• Structure and negotiate institutional investor participation
• Build a credible C-level board and governance framework
• Establish operational, financial, and compliance systems
• Recruit and lead a high-calibre executive team
• Drive the company to stable, scalable operations within three years

Compensation Structure

• Deferred Salary: $300,000 per annum (accrued and payable upon successful capital raise or liquidity event)
• Performance Bonus: $2,000,000 USD upon:
• Successful completion of a $200M Series A capital raise, and
• Demonstrated establishment of the company as a viable going concern within 36 months

Equity Participation: Available and negotiable depending on experience, capital networks, and commitment

This structure is designed for a confident executive who is willing to align risk with upside.

Ideal Candidate Profile We are seeking an executive who:

• Has successfully led or materially contributed to nine-figure capital raises
• Maintains direct access to institutional investors, sovereign wealth funds, family offices, or private equity
• Has scaled a startup into an operational enterprise
• Understands governance, compliance, and international structuring
• Is comfortable operating in ambiguity and building from first principles
• Possesses gravitas, credibility, and strong investor trust
• Prior CEO experience is highly preferred.

Who Should Apply? This opportunity is ideal for:

• Former investment bankers turned operators
• Venture-backed startup CEOs seeking a larger mandate
• Senior executives with deep capital markets relationships
• Operators who believe in asymmetric upside

Why This Role Is Different This is not a salaried executive post.

This is a capital architect position with significant upside for the right leader.

The founder believes that the right network, the right credibility, and the right execution can unlock substantial capital and long-term enterprise value.
