Co-Founder Opportunity @ Stealth

TLDR: Product/Tech background, equal equity, pre-seed backed, initial recurring revenue.

The problem.

Every 7 minutes, a burglary occurs, with 4 out of 5 offenders escaping justice. Alarmingly, the problem is worsening, with cases increasing by 20% annually across Europe.
Yet, existing solutions are either unreasonably expensive, unconvenient or ineffective, leaving millions unprotected. </aside>

Our solution.

We aim to democratize safety with an affordable, easy-to-use, and efficient alarm system connected to an automated 24/7 monitoring center. Our solution is built for households and SMEs, with plans to expand to industrials and public institutions.
By reshaping the tech stack across the value chain, we will develop the operational and technological capabilities that small, local market players currently lack, enabling us to meet market demands effectively (see 🖥️). </aside>

About us.

We are Niklas and Louis, with backgrounds in business, finance, and psychology from HSG and WHU. Together, we bring experience from top-tier startups, VC/PE, consulting and the public sector.
We are mission-driven to fight burglaries, violence, and psychological harm, and hungry to build a category-defining company. </aside>

Why now.

We validated the case with customers, are generating initial recurring revenues, and currently cannot meet demand with our capacity. Now, we are heads-down, focused on building operations with a strong go-to-market mentality.
We already got backed by an angel collective of serial entrepreneurs (ex-Rocket, $100M+ exits) who believe that we will transform one of the last technically nearly untapped markets.
Shifting regulations, such as the KRITIS-Dachgesetz, are driving a surge in demand, while investors like Y Combinator are calling for builders in this space (see here).

Time to build is now.

Who we look for.

An exceptional builder with strong skills in product development and/or software engineering.
Expertise in AI/ML or computer vision are a plus but not a must.
Intelligence and drive > years of work experience.
Someone who’s willing to fail and learn fast, guides with confidence, and is eager to join a supportive, driven team from day one.

Our offer to you: Equal equity.

We don’t want to hire you. We want to finalize the team.
