Founding Partner (Equity + Capital)
Monaqo | Bengaluru | Full-Time | Long-Term | Age: Up to 32 Years
Read this carefully. This is not a job opening, an employment opportunity, or a landing pad for someone looking to switch companies. We are looking for one person with the conviction to build one of India’s most respected AI-native growth companies.
If you are looking for a salary hike, close this page. If you want to build a company you will be proud of ten years from now, keep reading.
The Problem with Agencies
Monaqo exists because the traditional agency model is broken. Most agencies sell commodities: SEO, Google Ads, Meta Ads, Websites, and Social Media.
Clients don’t wake up wanting any of those. They want more revenue, better customers, faster growth, higher valuations, and stronger market positioning. Marketing is simply a tool to get there. We are building a company that acts as an extension of a client’s executive team—not just another vendor.
The Opportunity: Strategy Over Execution
Over the next decade, AI will make pure execution infinitely cheaper. As a result, high-level strategy will become exponentially more valuable. The winners won’t be the agencies with the highest headcounts. The winners will be the firms that seamlessly integrate:
- AI & Data
- Systems & Revenue Operations
- Strategy & Human Judgment
- Product Thinking
This is the company we are building.
Imagine a single strategic partner where a client receives Enterprise SEO, AI Search Optimization, Paid Media, GTM Strategy, Account-Based Marketing, CRO, AI Automation, and Sales Enablement—all driving measurable business outcomes with complete ownership.
The Founding Team & Why We Need You
Companies of consequence aren't built by employees; they are built by partners who share conviction. Currently, Monaqo's foundation is led by myself and my co-founder, Sandhya, a Chartered Accountant by profession.
We are not looking for someone to just "help" us. We need a third pillar—an equal who will challenge assumptions, make difficult decisions, and think like an owner from day one alongside us.
You should be someone who has built something before—whether it succeeded or failed. You know that building is vastly different from working. You care about outcomes, not office hours or prestigious titles, and you naturally solve problems before anyone has to ask.
What You Will Actually Do
This role has no boundaries. One week, you might negotiate a ₹1 crore enterprise contract. The next, you are redesigning our pricing model or hiring our first leadership team. You will not inherit processes; you will build them. Your focus areas will include:
- Constructing the Revenue Engine and Sales Systems
- Forging Strategic Partnerships and driving International Expansion
- Designing AI Workflows and Operational Excellence
- Establishing Financial Discipline and our Hiring Framework
Capital & Equity Commitment
We are not looking for a passive investor. We expect our Founding Partner to invest alongside their time, expertise, and reputation.
- The Investment: While most partnerships are expected to involve a capital commitment in the preferred range of ₹15 Lakh to ₹30 Lakh (with a minimum of ₹10 Lakh), the final structure will depend heavily on your individual experience, strategic value, network, and long-term role in building Monaqo. Higher commitments will be considered based on the partnership structure.
- Contribution Over Cash: A co-founder who can reliably generate ₹2–3 crore in annual revenue is far more valuable than someone who invests a large sum but cannot build the business. We prioritize execution capability, industry network, and leadership and culture fit over pure capital.
- The Equity: Investment alone does not determine your stake. Equity is determined by a combination of capital, execution, customer acquisition, strategic contribution, and long-term commitment.
The Roadmap to Success
- Year One: ₹2 crore+ revenue, a strong recurring client base, a fully realized AI-first operating model, and a recognizable brand in the Indian B2B space.
- Year Three: ₹15 crore+ revenue, an enterprise client portfolio, multi-city presence with international customers, and proprietary AI workflows driving productized consulting.
- Year Five: A category-defining growth consultancy with global delivery capabilities, multiple revenue streams, industry-leading profitability, and a company built to last for decades.
