Founding Generalist — Equity-Only Startup Builder

Founding Generalist – Gravadee (Equity-Only) Rental housing is broken. We're fixing the part everyone else ignores. Gravadee is building portable, renter-owned verification credentials — the URA (Universal Rental Application) and Rental Resume — so renters verify once and apply anywhere, and landlords stop paying $3,800+ per vacancy sifting through AI-generated fake pay stubs. We sit upstream of Zillow, Apartments.com, and every screening incumbent. They can't build what we're building without cannibalizing themselves. We can. We're two founders (Apple/EA product veteran + two-exit operator/VC) with a live paid pilot, a working product on modern AI-native tooling, and a compliance-first architecture that's our moat. We need a third person crazy enough to join before the money does. The Role (a.k.a. Everything) This is not a job. It's a founding seat. One week you're vibe-coding a feature in Lovable/Supabase; the next you're interviewing renters in a Mission coffee shop, running cold outreach, presenting to a landlord association, wrangling a spreadsheet, or fixing whatever broke at 9pm. If "that's not my job" is in your vocabulary, stop reading — no hard feelings. You’ll touch: Product: building and shipping across the URA, Rental Resume, LLAI, and whatever comes next Growth: email, cold outreach, renter/landlord interviews, seminars and group presentations Operations: the unglamorous glue — process, light accounting, small tasks that keep a startup alive You Self-starter is non-negotiable. You take a task from ambiguous idea to done, without check-ins, hand-holding, or a Jira ticket telling you to breathe. You can vibe-code. You don't need a CS degree; you need to ship working things with AI tools and not be precious about it. Strong, genuine interest in AI — you use it daily and think about where it's going. You find rental housing genuinely interesting. (Yes, such people exist. We checked. We are them.) Ideally Bay Area, and up for regular in-person work sessions. Whiteboards beat Zoom. You commit. Startups reward the people still standing at month nine, not month two. Compensation Zero salary until we're funded. Equity only, earned against real contributions and milestones — not tenure, not vibes. We'll be transparent about the structure up front. If you need a paycheck now, this isn't it. If you want meaningful ownership in something you helped build from the studs, keep going. Why Bother Ground-floor equity in a company attacking a $3,800-per-vacancy problem across ~14M self-managed rental units nationally Founders who've shipped at Apple, EA, and Comcast and exited companies — you'll learn fast or we're doing it wrong Real ownership: your work, start to finish, with your name on it A parrot named Reo will judge your work. She's fair but firm. Apply Send a short note: who you are, something you've built or shipped (AI-assisted counts), and why rental housing of all things. No resumes required. No cover-letter theater. Just show us you're the person who finishes things. #J-18808-Ljbffr Gravadee
