from CBS grad: Hiring a VP Marketing for Pre-Seed Startup
from Gary Ragusa, (my friends and classmate):
“I started a mobile phone application company geared towards fashion SMB retailers. I am currently starting development on a prototype and am working with a couple of International brands to test the application. The goal is to build a database of retailers, sign up 10 to 15 participating retailers, develop the app, and launch/test the application during October.
As a way of reference, I worked the past six years with retailers, including Levi’s, Lacost, Puma on their US expansion strategies. Prior to that I was in a software startup and also an ecommerce startup in the late 90’s. I have an MBA from Columbia Business School.
I am currently seeking seed investment (and going well, but still early). Hence, this is a PRE-SEED startup. We would work out an Equity stake PLUS cash compensation AFTER we get seed financing, which I expect to occur during the next few months.
I have three part time people working with me, but I need a full time marketing professional. The VP marketing would (a) work with iphone dev and design team (former Lipman execs) to flush out product details, (b) work with retailers to create parameters for test trial, (c) create marketing strategy for getting users to download and use application via viral, retailers, pr, ads, etc. and (d) participate in the test trial to ensure we meet objectives and can take product to market.
If you are interested to hear more, please email me your CV and we can discuss further. I have product demo and executive summary to share after NDA is signed.
