Description
The Product
We are building a plug-and-play, smart-climate camper pod that instantly turns a standard SUV into a stealthy, off-grid living space. No permanent vehicle modifications are required. We are democratizing van life for 9-5 workers, students, and weekend explorers who want spontaneous travel without the massive financial burden of a dedicated RV.
Current Status (The Hardware is Built)
I am a 3rd-year Mechanical Engineering student and have handled the heavy lifting. Over the last four months, I have self-funded all R&D, designed the systems (integrated solar, smart-bed tech, thermal control), and assembled a functional physical beta prototype. The mechanical engineering is technically de-risked and functioning.
Your Role (The Commercial Engine)
I am looking for an execution-first hacker to own the business and digital side 100%. While I iterate on the hardware, you will lead:
- Digital Growth: Build high-converting landing pages, launch and aggressively grow a pre-launch waitlist, and manage long-term digital ad campaigns.
- Venture Relations: Partner with me to craft professional pitch decks and coordinate early pre-seed funding discussions.
- Operations: Lead the legal structuring and incorporation process.
The Offer
- 25% Equity in a hardware startup where the initial prototyping costs and technical validation are already completed.
Requirements
- A bias for action and high-velocity execution over endless theorizing.
- Located in or around Perth for occasional face-to-face strategy sessions and physical testing with the prototype.
- Australian Citizenship or Permanent Residency is highly preferred to simplify the local Pty Ltd incorporation and compliance processes, though not a strict deal-breaker for the perfect partner.
