Hiring: Kudoz Seeks Entrepreneur Type
As you may know, for the last year I've been in Vancouver developing a prototype called Kudoz. Kudoz is growing and we are seeking an Entrepreneur-type to join the team!
About Kudoz. We're a startup embedded within three of British Columbia’s bigger community living agencies. Sound like an oxymoron? That’s part of our novelty: being nimble within a context that is often known for being stable! Kudoz started with original, user-centered research. Our team moved into a social housing complex to capture the day-to-day realities of individuals with a cognitive disability. From that research came an insight: too few adults had a source of novelty & learning in their lives. From that insight came an idea: what if adults could choose from a catalogue of hundreds of learning experiences, all hosted by passionate locals? From that idea came a six-month prototype and proof of concept. Now, it’s time to spread the solution along with the values behind it all.
About the role. You’ll be joining a team with interaction, graphic, and service designers; along with three community mobilizers; and a social scientist. As the Business Developer, your role will be to develop and actually sell our business model; actualize strategic partnerships, and test the best vehicle for spread. You won’t be working things out just on paper - you’ll be responsible for making things happen in the real, messy, fun world. We do not want to operate like a traditional service, where 100% of our income comes from government contracts and grants. Instead, we want to diversify our revenue streams; find ways to streamline our model; and shape the governmental and philanthropic systems with which we interact. Oh, and we want to do all of this in a way that remains true to our roots: a solution that is co-designed by individuals and families and has learning, growth and development at its core.
