What you bring to the team
Dear Engineer, It is a pleasure to introduce you to this very special opportunity at our ambitious enterprise.
Co-Founder / Developer at "AVO" | "AvoTravel" part of "AVO GROUP" Start-up Company based in Berlin.
FIRST OF ALL: it's not a usual/typical job/art time help/experiment that most people try doing and fail doing.
IT IS A BIG DEAL - it's an investment and a serious commitment of your time/talent/resources into something that has the potential to become the biggest thing in your life! Working with a team that would eventually become your family. Are you on same wavelength?
Some of the key points for the position of a developer:
AVO - The 1st Marketplace for best Business Space and Business Accommodation Rentals aims to disrupt multi-trillion(!) travel, real estate and hospitality industries (executive summary, pitch deck will follow to be shared, and video clips below).
We are Tech for Real Estate and Travel - the 2 of the biggest industries worldwide that still have so much space/potential for better/faster/smarter solutions and brilliant minds! Are you excited about it? Our product-service touches something that truely matters (to mention the least: people all over the world spend more than 65% of their lives in buildings).
CURRENT STAGE:
A. we are employing a full time marketing intern who helps serve the booking inquiries (concierge service)
B. we have clients and are acquiring corporate clients
C. we are generating turnover (have proven the biz model), have traction
D. we are 4 board members
The requirements for you as a successful candidate:
1. As it's a co-founder type of position, therefore you need to be able to bootstrap with us till we raise a round of investment that we expect in the next months as we are actively applying (are qualified) for selected accelerator programs / grants across Europe. The salary will be paid from the Grants / Investment we get from the programs/funds.
2. Ideally you are an experienced developer and have experience in JAVA / Angular.JS (if not full stack: or one that could learn fast) to help AVO next to our remote developer based in Italy to maintain and expand our current website and new features, find the most viable solutions for the needs of the company, actively growth-hack to leverage our reach and conversions, expand viral user engagement, eventually take the platform onto a new level/language when the investment occurs.
3. Ideally you are an EU/EEA citizen (or a spouse of such), and based in Western Europe so that we can easily involve you on board as a shareholder and you will not have any obstacles in travel or employment throughout the EU/EEA space.
4. If you are not based in Berlin/Germany - you should be physically attending our home office in Berlin at least once a month (more often would be a huge plus).
From experience we can say that co-founding while having a FULL time job is not optimal to give maximum chance for your startup to realize its entire potential and see if it can replace your previous occupations, and significantly change your life as YOUR MAIN BUSINESS - that's what we're all working
towards. If you are a self-employed/freelancing professional (like the core AVO team) or PART TIME / Flexible HOURS employee who can control your schedule by having own projects/sources of income you have the most potential to start your own start-up business. Remember that FOCUS is everything.
5. You are actively applying and ready to join the upcoming accelerator program and graduate it with success (raise more funds) and take our enterprise to the next and more complex / more challenging and intriguing levels.
That means the accelerator program could take place in a West European city in the months to come (ex: Germany, UK, France, Switzerland, Netherlands, Spain etc.)
where the core founders would be physically present (*typical program lasts around 3 months) with full focus on AVO with no distraction on other projects/jobs etc.- the program offers investment/you will be paid. In case of further significant rounds of investment you should be able to come and work on AVO board full time for a salary and obviously equity.
6. You are a motivated and driven individual with entrepreneurial aspirations and readiness to "walk an extra mile", full respect towards your work partners, accountability, very high sense of close collaboration and full reliability.
If all the above describe you and suit your plans I'm looking very much forward to continuing our conversation. We are open!

Thanks a lot for your attention/commitment. AvoTeam
