Founder / Co-Founder (m/w/d)

Hello!

Thanks for checking out our job description for our (Junior) Co-Founder*in / Entrepreneur*in in Residence roles at Ministry of Silly Walks Ventures.

More about Sillywalks

At Sillywalks we’re developing and launching business models we believe make total sense in this complex and exciting and ever-evolving society. We believe in serving people or the planet with our ventures instead of making the rich richer. We absolutely believe in team work instead of hierarchies, not an empty phrase, we love to see everybody thrive and fulfil their dreams with us. We believe everybody has a talent, a point of view, a history and are always curious to deep dive into different perspectives as a team for the best possible outcomes. We try to always stay ahead of market and include the many exciting trends into our business strategies such as the many concepts within the crypto world, the highly interesting trend of owner-based businesses or the simply mind blowing possibilities of the metaverse.

And yes more practically: We have a proven track record of building successful and profitable companies, mainly in the field of consumer brands and services. We strongly believe that advertising how it is still being done is a dead horse and just waiting for (our)
disruption.

There are big challenges a-plenty as we scale up and evolve, which are going to require some talented folks to solve.
