About the job

Chief Operating Officer (Founding Operator)

AngryPages.com | California, USA | 50% Profit Share + 15% Equity | Co-Founder

AngryPages® is a California publisher built on one belief: everyone has a story worth telling, owning, and earning from.

We help people create books they own and can sell worldwide.

Bootstrapped with just $5,000, we're live, generating 50+ monthly sales across 10+ countries, reaching 200,000+ monthly readers, and featured in the Daily Mirror.

We're building an AI-powered publishing business capable of serving thousands of creators and millions of readers.

The Opportunity

Our biggest challenge isn't tech/ops. It's access.

We have the brand, technology, product, and early sales. We need a business partner who brings something equally valuable: reputation, relationships, access, and commercial judgment.

Investors, advertisers, and established creators respond to trusted introductions. We've experienced firsthand how personal relationships open doors that cold approaches cannot.

We're looking for an accomplished businessperson who believes in AngryPages, enjoys calculated risks, and wants to build something profitable.

The financial opportunity:

Today, we're generating $700 in sales with a $150 margin. Our ambition is $7 million in sales, producing approximately $1.5 million in margin at the same rate. That's a potential $750,000 share of profits, assuming those margins become distributable profits.

You'll also receive a proposed 15% equity stake through vesting stock options. We want a partner who believes they can help multiply the company's value tenfold—and convince investors of that opportunity.

This is an owner-operator opportunity, not a conventional salaried position. We believe in profits, ownership, financial independence, and the satisfaction of building a successful business.

What You'll Do

A. DEALS, DEALS, DEALS

  1. Fundraising: Build investor relationships and secure capital.
  2. Operations & Marketing: Develop strategy, package products, and execute commercial plans.
  3. Business Development: Represent AngryPages, open doors, negotiate, and close deals.
  4. Leadership: Manage risks, negotiations, and major decisions alongside the founder.

B. CUSTOMER, CUSTOMER, CUSTOMER

  1. Creators: Recruit, onboard, and support authors.
  2. Technology: Use AI and automation. Our platform is ready, with ChatGPT Business available.
  3. Publishing: Organize offset printing, bookstores, resellers, KDP, and distribution.
  4. Relationships: Build and maintain valuable personal and commercial connections.

C. SALES, SALES, SALES

  1. Staffing: Recruit and manage excellent, well-connected people.
  2. Franchising: Develop international partners and resellers. We already have a global team, but sales remain modest.
  3. Banking: Manage financial and banking relationships.
  4. Revenue: Generate advertising, sponsorships, partnerships, and profitable sales.

Who We're Looking For

An experienced COO, SVP, entrepreneur, or senior business leader with:

  • An established reputation and valuable professional network.
  • Proven commercial achievements and sound judgment.
  • Strong negotiating, fundraising, and leadership ability.
  • Independence, ambition, and a genuine profit motive.

Qualifications matter. Social capital and results matter more.

We're not seeking a consultant or an executive who needs a large salary, team, and budget before delivering results.

What We Offer

  • 50% profit sharing, under an agreed written arrangement.
  • 15% equity through vesting stock options in AngryPages Holdings Inc., subject to a formal agreement.
  • $80,000 promised on sales, with payment conditions agreed in writing.
  • Direct influence over strategy, operations, and growth.
  • Founding-team status and a close working partnership.

This is an equity-first opportunity. Cash compensation depends on sales, profits, available funding, and applicable legal requirements. Future compensation may be considered as company finances permit, but is not guaranteed.

We offer friendship, a 50/50 commercial partnership in black and white, and the chance to build a valuable business as partners.
