Vim Funding - Co-Founder

Vim Funding is a fast-paced start-up based in Boulder Colorado. We exist to serve entrepreneurs and small business owners by helping them find the funding they need to grow their businesses.

Crowd-funding, one of our core offerings, will become approximately a $1B business by 2013. With the right team, we have an opportunity to become one of the premier platforms in this space, and in the process will help thousands of owners create jobs and fulfill their dreams.

We believe in the principle of a results-only workplace environment. No busywork, no politics, no onerous rules -- just great people doing amazing work together. When and where you work is up to you; but consistently producing excellent results is a must.

If you:
• are passionate about building a company from the ground up,
• want to work with a smart, committed, and honest team,
• care deeply about creating a great experience for clients,
• work best when given autonomy and big challenges,

... then we want to hear from you.


About this position:

Over the next few months we need to stand up a web-application from foundation to interactive user experience goodness. Choice of stack is up to the person who fills this role, though we need to design for scalability and a possible future mobile component. MVC, right?

We will build up a technical team as resources allow so eventually managing a team will be critical; initially this position is envisioned to be a hands-on architecting and building challenge.

Success for our entrepreneurial clients will come from a platform that guides them through building and activating their tribe of followers, via a managed crowd-investing campaign. We need to make it easy for them to create compelling profiles and engage potential investors.

Success for our investor clients will come from the ability to clearly understand everything about a potential investment, to get any remaining questions answered by the issuer, and then to easily complete an investment through the platform and to monitor future results.

That's where you come in -- if you look at a platform like Kickstarter and say to yourself "sure, I could build that... and then what do we do next?" then come say hello. As a co-founder you would be involved in all strategic decisions and will play a key role in building our company.

This position may require expertise in:
Full web-application stack development, databases, accessible web design, UX, cloud-deployment, mobile applications, game mechanics, web-based messaging, SEO, and learning on the fly!

Past start-up experience is an asset. Personal fit is more important than exact experience match.
Think you're a fit? To continue the conversation:

1. Please answer the following 4 questions.

A. Why do you want to join our team?
B. What makes you a perfect fit for Vim Funding?
C. How would you set about tackling the challenges we described for this role?
D. What have we overlooked in our position description? i.e. as a co-founder, what else would you expect this position to tackle in building our company?

2. Please take a few minutes to complete the free Entrepreneurial Zone of Genius test here, and share your results with us: http://www.myezog.com/ (Results example: V-72 A-48 B-55 C-65)

3. Please send us your responses plus a link to your LinkedIn profile and any other relevant links to jobs@vimfunding.com.

Compensation: cash and equity as negotiated- we are pre-funding and will launch our funding efforts in January.
