About Wholosophy and Our Quest for You
Seeking to expand our kind-hearted, yet audacious C-level team who are committed to making a global difference in wellness and enhancing our sense of belonging as a society.
Wholosophy is a stealth, life-enhancing Wellness Social Platform designed to simplify and aggregate wellness. Think Houzz meets LinkedIn, but a platform elegantly crafted to inspire our most essential journey to real health while building supportive, authentic friendships and practitioner connections.
Wholosophy connects the dots between community and wellness, offering something truly unique and transformative for the way we connect, learn, and live our lives.
We have a visionary CEO seeking a strategic execution partner to help take us to the next level. We are an early-stage startup with a launch-ready, highly sophisticated, and rigorously tested platform, fueled by a 9-layered, systems thinking-based go-to-market (GTM) strategy, supported by four guided engagement programs designed to drive exponential growth.
We offer the chance to contribute to a scalable, global platform that is reimagining the power of social media and how people come together to live healthier lives. Our mission is bold and ambitious, one that is shared by our team, who value bridging and elevating connectedness and well-being. We dream big, move fast, and strive for positive impact.
We foster a work culture based on openness, communication, and integrity. You’ll have the chance to work in a fast-paced environment with experienced industry leaders and be in an environment where you can make an immediate impact.
Wholosophy is a for-profit, Public Benefit Corporation.
