Looking for a new challenge? Always wanted to be an entrepreneur but don’t want to have to stand completely on your own feet right away? Now’s your chance to co-entrepreneur under the wings of a successful entrepreneur in existing concepts and invest in your own future!
For recruiters: acquisition is pointless.
The reality is that I have many ideas, love starting new things, and helping other entrepreneurs. That means starting new sites when there’s a good idea and participating as a technical co-founder in great opportunities. I love niche sites and niche businesses, which keeps everything manageable and digestible. Of course, this all generates revenue (passive and active) and increasingly more new work. This flywheel is starting to spin faster and faster. Everything is growing, but the upper limit of the current growth rate has been reached. There’s a bottleneck…
That bottleneck is myself.
Of course, tasks are already being outsourced to freelancers, but there’s a lack of continuity there. Cloning myself hasn’t worked yet. I don’t want to let successful sites fall. Ergo, it’s time for a sidekick! The first employee in this growing enterprise. The Robin to Batman.
Does it excite you to help build existing concepts further and have the choice to share in the financial results? Are you organized, capable of maintaining overview of everything that needs to be done, and able to push back when necessary? Don’t you mind sometimes cleaning up messes and doing tedious tasks?
Then this might be your chance!
The ideal sidekick appreciates having frameworks but can handle freedom well. You work hard, are creative, and regularly have your own suggestions about how a concept can become commercially more interesting.
You’re versatile, but at minimum you see yourself as a full-stack developer with experience in PHP. You know or have experience with technologies I use frequently: Docker, TailwindCSS, Alpine.js, Hugo, and jQuery. It’s a huge plus if, like me, you have an (above-average) interest and experience in security, online marketing, sales, and entrepreneurship, or want to learn more about these areas.
Furthermore, you naturally love easily readable code. You understand the value of defensive code, however boring that may be. And you always leave code better than you found it.
It’s a challenging role to be a sidekick. You’ll be expected to work 32 to 40 hours per week, but you’ll get a lot in return.
As a sidekick, you get:
- a salary between €2,500 and €3,500, depending on your experience, with the option to partially exchange this to share in the financial results
- the chance to be an entrepreneur with a safety net
- lots of learning and growth opportunities
Although we primarily work remotely, it’s also nice to sometimes sit together in the The Hague area, so it’s a plus if you live in that area or can easily get there.
And last but not least: Most of our sites are internationally oriented, so you should be very capable of expressing yourself in English.
If you recognize yourself in this, send a message via LinkedIn or the contact form.
