STEALTH COMPANY - NATURAL WELLNESS, HEALTH TECH, MEDIA

An impact-focused (think bCorp like Patagonia); Santa Monica, Austin, Hawaii, and Colorado-based venture collective of serial entrepreneurs (enterprise tech, health & wellness, media & entertainment, blockchain, data, gaming, hemp/cannabis, influencers, thought leaders) with multiple exits (philosophy skincare>Coty, StubHub>eBay, Essential Living Foods > Nestle, Kevita>Pepsi, Responsys>Oracle) who are dedicated to activating nature’s intelligence to elevate global health through: Regenerative Wellness, Natural Medicine, Next-generation Technologies, and game-changing partnerships/collaborations.

We are looking for a startup CEO and business operator with experience rapidly scaling to 9 figure revenues. The opportunity we’re in the middle of is one that comes with product and distribution to kick the company off with significant amounts of targeted traffic.

WHY THIS OPPORTUNITY FEELS LIKE A UNICORN

This is a unique opportunity to step into a highly collaborative senior team that operates our businesses and our lives with a very evolved view of ourselves, our universe and the world we all share. We are as determined to create widespread impact in the world as we are to know that our thinking is only as good as our ability to evolve that thinking collaboratively with our senior leadership teams and the context of the situations we are in.

It is our humble belief that the situation we’re in the middle of is a once-in-a-lifetime nexus - especially given our co-marketing traffic partnership with millions of current customers ready for our forthcoming stealth companion site (see more below). We’re looking for an experienced and evolved leader to join our collective and take things to the moon.

WHAT WE’RE CREATING

We are staffing a stealth-mode health-tech / ecommerce property that is a Joint Venture with a very large co-marketing and co-branding partner, currently commanding millions of monthly eyeballs and millions of paying customers. This new ecommerce property will leverage partnerships with top global thought-leaders and influencers in the areas of: functional medicine, scientifically-validated natural medicine, root cause analysis, telemedicine, IoT device-based health trends (biometrics, fitness tracking, sleep tracking), at-home diagnostics (DNA, bio-markers), personalized medicine, and ancient medical systems of the planet: traditional chinese, ayurveda, and amazonian medicine.

We are working with some of the strongest brands (physical goods, digital goods and broader solutions), as well as promising cutting edge brands/solutions that are in the early stages of their product lifecycles. Our research and our belief is that we don’t compete directly with Amazon or vitacost because discerning customers aren’t going to these sites for efficient answers to their family’s critical health problems. They desire the expertise of a functional MD (+/- ND, OD, ayurveda, TCM), combined with the efficiency of tech-forward health apps/services, instilling confidence that data-driven (biomarkers, diagnostic tests, board-certified expert guidance) brings to a total health solution.
