Company Description
At Loony, we specialize in creating personalized miniature gifts that make every occasion unforgettable! As a D2C brand based in Chennai, India, we craft unique, handcrafted miniatures that capture cherished moments in a fun and artistic way.
The Opportunity
I'm relaunching a D2C personalized gifting brand - miniature figurines and looking for a co-founder to build the next phase with me.
This isn't a "let's brainstorm an idea" pitch. There's a real foundation already in place:
- A validated product in the personalized miniature gifting space, with real repeat demand
- 30+ brand and creator collaborations executed
- A working B2B corporate gifting motion with 10+ closed orders
- An engaged community of 2,700+ on Instagram
- Hard-won, data-backed clarity on what didn't work the first time around (acquisition economics, ops bottlenecks) - so we're not starting from zero on lessons learned
Role Description As a Co-Founder at Loony, you will play a central role in shaping the company’s vision, strategy, and growth. This is a full-time hybrid role based in Chennai, with flexibility for some work-from-home arrangements. Day-to-day responsibilities include driving sales and marketing initiatives, overseeing customer acquisition and retention, and collaborating with designers to refine product offerings and brand positioning.
What You'll Do
- Share full strategic and operational decision-making - this is a 50/50 partnership in practice, not a title
- Own your functional area end-to-end (Ops, or creative - based on your strength)
- Help build and refine the go-to-market narrative
- Work directly and closely with me - this is a two-person, high-ownership environment in the early stage
Who You Are
- Prior experience in a startup, D2C, or e-commerce environment (Not Mandatory)
- Got a fresh perspective and standout skills? Freshers with exceptional ideas are welcome to apply!
- Comfortable with early-stage, equity-based compensation - this is sweat equity to start, not a salaried role
- Based in Chennai or able to be here regularly for in-person work; this needs real proximity in the early months
- Able to commit meaningful time (and ideally some capital) to get this off the ground
📍 Location: Chennai, India
I'm looking for someone to come in as a true partner - shared ownership, shared decision-making, shared upside - not an employee or a freelancer.
