Co-Founder

About

One Oat Inc. empowers young people with mindfulness, mindset & leadership skills through an innovative digital platform that will be built on blockchain for transparency and global scale. We are live in early access (oneoat.org) and ready for our next growth chapter in Europe.

To get there, we’re looking for a mission-aligned co-founder who will own strategy, fundraising, and financial stewardship while guiding our Swiss incorporation.

What You'll do

• Shape & execute growth strategy: refine our business model, market-entry roadmap for Europe, and long-term revenue mix.
• Lead fundraising: craft the narrative, build the investor pipeline, run grant & impact-fund processes, and close pre-seed/seed rounds.
• Own finance function: set up budgets, dashboards, forecasts, and KPI tracking; manage equity, tokens, and future cash flows.
• Drive incorporation: work with legal & tax advisors to complete Swiss SA/AG setup, token-friendly governance, and compliance.
• Advise on partnerships: evaluate and negotiate collaborations with schools, NGOs, and tech providers that accelerate impact.
• Be a culture carrier: champion transparency, inclusivity, and youth-centric design inside a small, purpose-driven team.

About You

• Based in Switzerland (or able to work there regularly) and fluent in English; German or French is a plus.
• 5+ years in startup finance, VC/impact investing, social enterprise, or EdTech strategy.
• Proven track record raising capital (equity, grants, or hybrid) and building financial models from scratch.
• Comfortable navigating Swiss company law, token economics, or Web3 governance (or keen to learn fast).
• Strategic thinker who can zoom from big-picture vision to hands-on execution in a lean environment.

Commitment & Compensation

• Part-time (20 hrs / week) for the first 12-18 months, flexible around your schedule.
• Equity only – 50% split with the current founder (vesting over 4 years, 1-year cliff).
• Cash remuneration begins once the venture is sustainably funded.

Why Join?

• Shape an EdTech platform already in beta with real users and early institutional interest.
• Built in Switzerland, a leading hub for blockchain and impact finance.
• Enjoy true founder-level influence, ownership, and visibility.
• Work remote-first with occasional team sprints in Zürich/Zug.
• Make a measurable social impact at a global scale.

By joining One Oat Inc. as a co-founder and social entrepreneur, you’ll be at the forefront of a social project dedicated to redefining education, skill development, and lifestyle for youth across Europe and around the world. We’re leveraging state-of-the-art technology, including blockchain and AI, to create accessible, impactful solutions that empower the next generation with the tools they need to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
