Hi all! Last year, I shared an analysis of insomnia treatment as a potentially tractable cause area (https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/ztrYNRJ66NQeMpS64/insomnia-with-an-ea-lens-bigger-than-malaria). Since then, I’ve built and launched my attempted solution. To help the project reach its potential, I’m searching for an EA-aligned cofounder with growth/marketing/operations skills. I’m happy to give a solid chunk of equity to the right candidate, plus a (minimal for now) salary.
Full job description:
Looking for a skilled generalist co-founder who can help me grow Dozy from public MVP to scaling product. I built the product myself and demonstrated that it works in closed tests. Since then, I’ve raised a small amount of pre-seed funding and launched publicly—now working with a small team of contractors. The biggest bottleneck at this point is me. To fix that, I’m hoping to bring on someone highly competent who shares my vision of accessible & effective insomnia care.
This role can change depending on your skillset and how we work together, but might involve some of the following:
Growing organic sales channels—content, SEO, app store optimization, PR, referral systems
Exploring b2b sales channels—EAPs, health plans, etc
Experimenting with paid acquisition channels (though I’m unsure if those will make sense to use at scale)
Impact-driven—specifically with Effective Altruism-type principles if you’re familiar. If you don’t share that to some degree, we’ll diverge on key decisions.
Some amount of track record. Bonus points for increased relevance (health or mental health, tech industry, b2c or mobile marketing, startup, etc)
Good taste and aesthetic sense. You don’t need to be a designer, but you should have a sense of what’s good work and what’s not in most areas of responsibility.
Epistemic humility. You should be comfortable changing your mind in light of new information, or accepting proposals that aren’t yours. Strong opinions weakly held.
Strong persuasive ability. Obvious relevance for a marketing role, but I think it also helps to deeply understand the problem we’re trying to solve. (also fundraising)
Looking for cofounder on EA-driven startup. Also, free insomnia care program
