Founding Partnerships & Growth Revenue Partner

About Lumenfolk

Lumenfolk builds consumer and workflow products that help people make better decisions, discover opportunities, and turn fragmented signals into action.

We are developing a portfolio of mobile-first products across categories including live space discovery, spending decisions, healthcare navigation, fashion/trend tracking, brand/company generation, and decision-support tools.

The Opportunity

Lumenfolk is looking for a founding partnerships and growth revenue builder to help turn our mobile app portfolio into a revenue-generating ecosystem.

This is not a traditional partnerships role. There is no mature partnership pipeline, prebuilt channel team, or fully optimized growth engine. This is a zero-to-one commercial role for someone who can identify high-value partners, create partnership offers, negotiate early deals, test revenue channels, and help build repeatable growth loops across multiple apps.

You will work directly with the founder to turn Lumenfolk's product portfolio into a partner-powered revenue engine.

What You'll Own

• Build the first partnerships strategy across Lumenfolk's mobile app portfolio.
• Identify and pursue strategic partners, sponsors, affiliates, communities, brands, local businesses, creators, agencies, and institutions.
• Create partnership packages that generate revenue, audience growth, distribution, or product validation.
• Develop early channel partnerships for mobile app adoption.
• Build partner outreach lists, pitch decks, email flows, CRM tracking, and follow-up systems.
• Test revenue models including sponsorships, affiliate revenue, paid placements, referral partnerships, co-marketing, B2B2C partnerships, and local/community partnerships.
• Help define which apps have the strongest commercial wedge.
• Turn founder-led relationship work into a repeatable partnerships engine.
• Work with product and marketing to translate partner feedback into growth opportunities.

First 12-Month Outcomes

• Build a prioritized partner pipeline across the mobile app portfolio.
• Secure the first revenue-generating partnerships.
• Validate 2–3 repeatable partnership models.
• Create standard partnership packages and pricing.
• Build the CRM and follow-up system for partnerships.
• Identify which mobile apps have the strongest near-term revenue potential.
• Generate early non-dilutive revenue through sponsorships, affiliates, pilots, or paid partner placements.
• Create the foundation for a future partnerships, growth, or revenue team.

Compensation

This is an early founding role structured for ownership-level upside.

For the first 6–12 months, compensation will be primarily equity- and performance-based. Salary is expected to begin once revenue or financing milestones are reached.

• Meaningful founding equity.
• Uncapped commission on partnership revenue generated.
• Success fees for closed sponsorships, affiliate deals, paid pilots, and strategic partnerships.
• Milestone bonuses tied to first revenue, first major partner, monthly revenue targets, and repeatable channel validation.
• Salary beginning after agreed revenue or financing milestones.
• Expanded compensation package as the company scales.

Who This Is For

You may be a fit if you:

• Have built partnerships, growth, sponsorship, affiliate, or revenue channels from zero.
• Know how to create value for both users and partners.
• Can sell a new product before the market fully understands it.
• Are comfortable testing multiple business models quickly.
• Can turn warm networks, cold outreach, events, communities, and creator relationships into revenue.
• Understand mobile apps, consumer growth, local/community partnerships, or brand partnerships.
• Can build lightweight systems without waiting for a full operations team.
• Are energized by equity upside and early-stage company-building.

Strong Backgrounds

We are especially interested in people with experience in:

• Mobile app growth
• Brand partnerships
• Sponsorship sales
• Affiliate marketing
• Local marketplace growth
• Community partnerships
• Creator partnerships
• Consumer startups
• Events, lifestyle, fashion, health, fintech, civic tech, or local discovery
• Early-stage GTM

Who This Is Not For

This is probably not the right role if you need:

• A market-rate salary on day one.
• A mature sales or partnerships team.
• A polished partner program.
• A single-product mandate.
• A predictable quota model.
• Fully built collateral.
• A role limited to relationship management without revenue accountability.

Interview Focus

We will want to understand:

• What partnerships or growth channels you have built from zero.
• How you would generate revenue across a mobile app portfolio.
• Which partnership categories you would test first.
• How you think about sponsorships, affiliates, co-marketing, and B2B2C distribution.
• How you would prioritize across multiple apps.
• How you would create a repeatable partner pipeline.
• Whether this risk/reward profile genuinely fits your life right now.
