About Ovationz

Ovationz is reimagining how the world connects through ideas, expertise, and storytelling.

We’re building the world’s most dynamic marketplace for live and on-demand speakers, coaches, and thought leaders —a platform where organizations book extraordinary talent and experts turn insight into income and impact.

Born inside Nobody Studios , one of the fastest-growing venture studios on the planet, Ovationz combines the speed and creativity of a startup with the capital, community, and infrastructure of a global builder network.

We’re not another speaker bureau or event platform—we’re creating the infrastructure for inspired learning : short-form sessions, scalable engagement tools, and authentic human connection that drive business transformation.

Now we’re seeking a Business-Side Co-Founder to take Ovationz from beta to breakout.

Why This Space Is Exciting

The global learning, engagement, and inspiration economy is exploding.

Events, corporate learning, and creator monetization are converging into one powerful opportunity :

  • Companies are desperate for authentic, human-led engagement —not just content.
  • The $300B+ L&D market is moving from static training to live, story-driven learning.
  • Thousands of brilliant speakers and experts remain undiscovered and under-monetized.

Ovationz sits at this intersection— the Airbnb of inspiration —making it effortless for companies to access transformational speakers and for experts to scale their impact.

The Role

As Co-Founder, you’ll partner with the founding team to turn early traction into a scalable, profitable venture. You’ll own the commercial engine —leading go-to-market, partnerships, revenue operations, and investor engagement.

This is a builder’s role for someone who’s grown a startup before and knows how to create momentum out of white space.

  • Growth Leadership : Design and execute scalable GTM strategies that drive measurable growth in both talent and bookers.
  • Business Development : Build high-value partnerships with HR, L&D, and events leaders in mid-market organizations.
  • Investor Engagement : Collaborate with Nobody Studios’ leadership to raise capital and communicate traction effectively.
  • Operational Ownership : Establish systems, KPIs, and a performance cadence for data-driven execution.
  • Marketplace Liquidity : Manage the balance between supply (speakers / talent) and demand (bookers / companies).
  • Category Leadership : Shape Ovationz’s story as the home for “inspiration-as-a-service.”
  • Experience That Matters

    Must-Have Experience

  • Proven success taking a product or company from 0→1 or 0→100 —with quantifiable outcomes (e.g., revenue growth, customer acquisition, fundraising, or major partnership wins).
  • 7+ years of leadership experience across sales, marketing, operations, or business development in fast-moving environments.
  • Track record of translating strategy into results , such as :
  • Launching and scaling a GTM motion that delivered 3–5× YoY growth.
  • Securing anchor customers, strategic alliances, or investor funding.
  • Building a repeatable sales or partnership engine from scratch.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams , inspire confidence, and communicate clearly with investors, customers, and talent.
  • Strong understanding of marketplace dynamics, B2B SaaS, and / or the creator economy.
  • Preferred Background

  • Early-stage or venture-backed startup experience where you drove measurable impact.
  • Familiarity with AI-driven platforms , learning ecosystems , or digital engagement tools.
  • Deep interest in the future of work, learning, and human connection.
  • Accountable : You own outcomes and deliver results without excuses.
  • Resourceful : You make things happen with limited resources and creative hustle.
  • Strategic : You understand how brand, product, and growth intersect.
  • Problem Solver : You see obstacles as design challenges, not roadblocks.
  • Connector : You build trust and mobilize investors, partners, and customers.
  • First 90 Days — What Success Looks Like

    You’ll be expected to generate real traction, not just plans.

    Within 90 days, success means :

    Strategic Clarity

  • Deep understanding of Ovationz’s market dynamics, customer segments, and success metrics.
  • Defined GTM priorities, ICPs, and revenue goals.
  • Commercial Momentum

  • 5–10 paying customers or validated pilot partnerships with mid-market organizations.
  • 100+ qualified speakers or experts onboarded or reactivated.
  • Foundational Systems

  • Growth dashboard and KPI rhythm established.
  • Fundraising narrative and investor pipeline in progress.
  • Validated Model

  • Early proof of repeatable demand (bookings, conversion, or engagement metrics).
  • Clear path toward revenue scalability and studio funding milestones.
  • If, by Day 90, Ovationz shows data-driven traction and studio-level investor confidence—you’re on target.

  • True Co-Founder Role : Significant equity and real ownership from day one.
  • Studio Advantage : Access Nobody Studios’ capital, growth network, and shared resources.
  • High-Impact Mission : Help shape the future of how people learn, grow, and connect.
  • Global Flexibility : Remote-first team with worldwide collaboration.
  • This Role Is Not For

  • Those seeking comfort, not velocity.
  • Idea people without execution chops.
  • Leaders who prefer hierarchy over hustle.
  • Anyone afraid to test, fail, and iterate fast.
  • Compensation

    This is a founder-level role with equity-first compensation and performance-based upside.

    Cash compensation will begin modestly and scale with funding milestones, with full backing and shared resources from Nobody Studios to accelerate growth and de-risk early operations.

    Additionally, co-founders of portfolio companies receive equity in Nobody Studios. So, as the studio continues to flourish and find success with other portfolio companies, you share in that success, too.

    Ready to Build the Future of Inspiration?

    Where ideas take the stage.

    Ready to build the future? If you’ve built something before—and are ready to do it again, faster, smarter, and with the backing of a world-class venture studio—we want to meet you.
