About us
Leopold Barnett is a founder-tech partner. We build with early-stage founders - senior engineering, products, teams and systems, from MVP to scale.
About the role
We're looking for a business development person to put our MVP Sprint in front of the right founders.
The offer sells itself to the right audience: a $50k senior engineering engagement for $30k - a working prototype in two weeks, a real MVP by week four, plus twelve months of technical advice through their raise. Build-only, no strings.
Your job is finding the founders it fits: pre-seed and seed teams who need to build now, right when every dollar counts.
What you'll do
• Source and qualify early-stage founders - your own network, LinkedIn, founder communities, accelerators, events.
• Build partnerships with accelerators, incubators and VCs so the Sprint becomes a portfolio perk.
• Own the conversation from first touch to signed engagement.
• Work with us to sharpen the offer, pricing and pitch based on what founders actually say.
Who you are
• You already know where pre-seed founders hang out - and have credibility there
• You've sold high-touch services before (agency, consultancy, dev shop experience ideal)
• Self-directed: you build your own pipeline, we don't hand you a list
• You can talk about technical products without overselling - founders smell that fast
What you get
• Commission on every closed Sprint - a five-figure product with a genuinely discounted price point is a much
easier sell than most
• A concrete, differentiated offer: anchored $50k value, fixed four-week timeline, real deliverables
• Direct line to the people delivering the work - no account-manager telephone game
