VP of Marketing & Business Development for Awesome Career Education Startup in Burlingame

Mon, 17 Jun 2013 09:42:42 GMT

CareerEagle (www.careereagle.com) was started by a Harvard Business School and Harvard Kennedy School alum with the goal of helping young people make better career decisions. CareerEagle offers user-generated videos about jobs and career paths for free to students and schools. We have a robust revenue model and it's not based on advertising. The site is a career navigation tool, not another job board. People make and upload videos about their job, career path and what they wish they knew when they started their career. The videos can serve high school students from socio-economically disadvantaged backgrounds as well as college students approaching graduation. It has enormous potential for helping kids make smarter decisions about their future.

The site is up but we won't do an official beta launch until we get a couple hundred more videos uploaded.

Your Job:

You would be coming on board to help the team create a marketing engine to build a large base of videos, then help with the launch and press push and finally market the videos to high school and college students. You'd be joining a small team of dedicated entrepreneurs, working remotely through SF, to make this a reality. We've raised some angel funding. The money that didn't go to product development will go to marketing so you'll be working for sweat equity at first. It's an exciting time - you'll be coming on board when the product is ready to go and we're just building out the marketing and biz dev program.

You will need to be able to work at least 25-30 hours per week. It's ok if you generate income on the side. (We recognize that you can't eat equity.) But you need to hit deadlines and this company needs to be your first priority.

Software Engineer Needed For Awesome Career Education Startup in Burlingame

Sun, 09 Jun 2013 02:17:48 GMT

About the Company:

CareerEagle (www.careereagle.com) was started by a Harvard Business School and Harvard Kennedy School alum with the goal of helping young people make better career decisions. CareerEagle offers short job videos to help people select careers and decide what they want to do with their lives.

The company is engaging in educational software sales to high schools and will soon pursue much larger markets. It just completed a pilot with one of the largest schools in the San Francisco Unified School District, Galileo. It was so successful that in the fall the pilot is getting expanded to 20+ schools! (The results were replicated in another pilot at a charter school.)

Of the students who have gone through the pilot, 93% say they would recommend it to a friend. 50% of the students who didn't know what they wanted to do prior to using the service knew what they wanted to do after using CareerEagle. 68% of students said they preferred CareerEagle over career software Kuder, for which the school district just paid $800k. The company gives away its services to schools that can't afford it. We are in diligence with a number of top education seed funds and expect to be oversubscribed.

Your Job:

Come on board as a programmer to help us build v2 of the site. We have a minimum viable product that served to demonstrate that the concept works and was sufficient to get us into 20+ schools in the fall. But it's not scalable and the coding is weak. We're looking for a programmer - ideally in Rails - who can come on board, work with our design firm and play the lead role in building the next generation of the site.

The right candidate will receive both a substantial chunk of equity as well as pay, healthcare, etc. We're looking for a team member who can eventually lead the tech team. (It's ok if you're young. We believe good people will learn and grow into the role.)
