Our mission is to empower students to foster their innate entrepreneurialism. What does that mean?

If you've ever had a wacky idea, or sold candy at school or had a lemonade stand as a kid, this is for you.

If you've ever started an online store or sold things on eBay or Craigslist, then this is for you.

If you're the friend that always comes to friends with wacky new invention ideas, this is for you.

If you dream of one day owning your own company, then this job is for you. But what is this job?

We're a paid entrepreneurship incubator. We pay you and train you to either become an entrepreneur or strengthen your skills as an entrepreneur. No strings attached. No sales, no MLMs, no investment necessary. We pay you to learn business skills by launching a business that we fund.

This job is engineered to train you to become a business owner that employs good people and contributes positively to society. But let's get down to details:

This job is broken into 4 stages:

Stage 1: Entrepreneur in Training (EIT)

  • 30 day stage,
  • 20 hours/week paid salary
  • We provide you with a startup to work on and all the tools and funding to succeed

You attempt to:

  • Prove product market fit (PMF)
  • Exhibit meaningful traction
  • Generate the first $1
  • Establish the viability of the idea (or not)

We will be in constant contact throughout this process via email, Slack and Zoom to ensure you succeed. If you succeed, you move to stage 2.

Stage 2: Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR)

  • This will encompass days 31 - ? if the the EIT stage was successful
  • An EIR enjoys a profit share of the business of 20-40%
  • 30+ hours per week are expected
  • No problem if still in school
  • The EIR should have no other jobs at this point
  • Daily and weekly communication with mentors continue

Stage 3: Portfolio Company Owner

  • You will have graduated from school by this point - this is sole focus aside from family, faith and friends
  • At least 1 year of living in the DFW area and working in office is to be expected

Stage 4: Holding Company Partner

This is the stage wherein an owner converts their portfolio equity to holding company equity in the parent company

The partner is expected to have direct oversight of their previous portfolio company but will also have general oversight in all portfolio companies.

That is the master plan. Cohort #1 has already started and is going amazingly. We don't care where you live, what your school, grade or GPA is. We want bright young minds with the 5 following attributes:

  • Integrity - Doing the right thing
  • Enthusiasm/energy - Being excited to be doing this!
  • Responsiveness - Since we’re remote
  • Kindness - Don’t be a jerk. Be helpful to fellow cofounders.
  • Humility - Being willing to learn. Taking ownership and not making excuses.
