Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What does “stealth-mode” and “portfolio company” mean?
The company is currently operating privately under development by Origin Advisers. It is not yet publicly launched, offering you a unique chance to build the brand and strategy from the inside before it goes to market.
2. How real is the “Potential Co-Founder” aspect?
This is a genuine path for the right candidate. The role is designed to identify a commercial leader who can prove their ability to drive foundational growth. Success will be rewarded with a formal co-founder title, equity stake, and commensurate remuneration.
3. What industries are considered relevant experience?
While direct PropTech or Real Estate experience is ideal, we strongly value candidates from high-growth SaaS, FinTech, investment banking, or private equity who understand complex sales, partnerships, and scaling a platform business.
4. Is this a purely strategic role, or will it be hands-on?
This is a 100% hands-on, founding role. You will be responsible for both setting the strategy and personally executing it—making calls, closing deals, and building processes—especially in the early stages.
