About Mind Friend

Mind Friend is a mental health technology platform combining education, a professional marketplace, and AI-powered products.

We need a hands-on COO who can help build, fund, operate, and scale the company.

Requirements

Please apply only if you meet these requirements

• 5+ years of proven leadership experience in a valuable, technology-driven startup as a Founder, CEO, COO, or core founding-team executive.
• A successful track record building and scaling a company that achieved meaningful revenue, funding, market value, or a successful exit.
• Founder experience must be from a company that became commercially successful or remains operational—not simply a launched startup that failed to raise funding or gain traction.
• Strong technical understanding of digital platforms, marketplaces, AI products, or SaaS businesses.
• Proven experience with fundraising, investor relations, startup finance, budgeting, operations, and basic legal and governance matters.
• Able to work closely with product and engineering teams while leading company-wide execution.
• Based in Austin or prepared to relocate.

Benefits

• Meaningful share options or equity, based on experience and contribution.
• Opportunity to lead the growth of a mission-driven mental health technology company.
• Significant decision-making authority and direct partnership with the founder.
• Opportunity to become Co-Founder & COO for an exceptional candidate with a successful exit, major founding-team achievements, or the ability to bring credible investment into Mind Friend’s funding rounds.
• Compensation and equity structure negotiated according to the value, experience, network, and commitment the candidate brings.

To apply: Send your résumé or LinkedIn profile, details of the companies you helped build, measurable results, funding raised, exit history, and your willingness to relocate to Austin.
