Job details:
Valu Ventures is a bootstrapped venture studio building small, profitable online businesses from Mumbai — in the spirit of operators like Pieter Levels (levels.io) and Greg Isenberg (Late Checkout). No outside funding, no VCs, no chasing unicorns. We will make money by shipping products and services that customers actually pay for, building in public as we go.
We will launch 2 new businesses every quarter, review each one at the 6-month mark, and decide whether to double down or kill it. We focus on small, simple, scalable online businesses — no physical stores, no heavy capital, no shipping inventory. The studio is founded and run by Nakul Pednekar, based in Sydney and originally from Mumbai. You’ll work from an office with the founding team 2-3 times a week and in person with Nakul 3-4 times a year.
You'll be one of the first three hires. You'll work directly with the founder, and you'll have real ownership of how the studio actually runs from day one.
The role
You'll lead all content output for the studio across all channels. That includes the studio's own brand, the founder's personal brand, and content for the businesses we launch each quarter. You'll write, film, edit, and ship — and you'll learn to do all of it at studio quality, on a weekly cadence. We're building in public, so your work is the front door of the entire studio.
How we work
- 2 new businesses launched every quarter
- 6-month review on every business - continue, pivot, or kill
- Focus on small, simple, scalable online businesses (no physical, no high capital)
- Build in public - share the wins, losses, numbers, and lessons as we go
- Hybrid: 2–3 days/week at WeWork BKC, rest remote
What you'll do
- Plan, shoot, and edit short-form video (Reels, TikToks, Shorts) on a weekly cadence
- Write long-form content for Substack, Medium and LinkedIn — studio updates, build-in-public posts, founder essays
- Run the studio's IG/TikTok/YouTube channels end-to-end: hooks, thumbnails, captions, posting, community management
- Produce content for new businesses we launch including landing pages, ad creative, organic social, sponsor pitch decks
- Study what's working (Greg Isenberg, Shaan Puri, Pieter Levels, Justin Welsh, Sahil Bloom) and apply tactics weekly
- Track what works with real numbers including views, watch time, conversion, subscribers
What we're looking for
- A recent Business/Commerce grad from a strong Mumbai college
- You've already done this whether it’s your own Instagram or YouTube grown organically, OR a strong portfolio of work for someone else's brand
- At least one piece of content with real traction that you can show us
- Consistent posting for 6+ months which shows you can prove you do the boring part
- Can talk about why a specific reel worked: hook structure, pacing, retention, payoff
- Strong written English whether it’s for a long form article or social media posts
- Genuinely interested in startups, business, and the creator economy, not just brand or agency work
- Comfortable on camera or behind it, and willing to be the face of studio content when needed
What you'll get
- Salary: ₹40,000–₹60,000/month
- Hybrid: 2–3 days/week at WeWork BKC, rest remote
- Ownership of the studio's voice and channels from day one
- Real audience growth: you'll build personal brands (yours, the founder's, the studio's) that compound for years
- Performance upside tied to channel growth and business outcomes
