Operating Co-Founder / Founding Operator – CocoNet

Operating Co-Founder / Founding Operator – CocoNet

Remote | Live Early Platform | B2B SaaS | AI | Partner Commerce

What we’re building

CocoNet is an AI-assisted partner-commerce venture developed by Jain InfoTech.

CocoNet is not starting from a blank page.

We already have a live platform at www.coconet.app, originally developed for independent marketers. Marketers can create professional profiles, discover opportunities, and the platform currently contains 150+ listings.

The concept has since evolved significantly.

We are now developing CocoNet into a broader partner-led commerce network connecting SaaS companies, product and service businesses, Independent Marketers and customers.

The core idea is simple:

Acquire customers. Support them. Participate in the continuing value created from that relationship.

Instead of treating marketing partners only as sources of one-time referrals, CocoNet is exploring how they can become longer-term customer-acquisition and relationship partners.

The initial commercial focus is B2B SaaS and digital services serving SMEs.

The evolved CocoNet vision is explained at:

Where CocoNet is heading

The longer-term platform may include:

• curated partner opportunities;
• portable Independent Marketer profiles;
• Brand-specific Partner Hubs;
• AI-assisted product learning and marketing;
• customer and deal attribution;
• customer-association and recurring-value models;
• Affiliate and Distributor workflows;
• verified marketer performance;
• Brand-native partner communities;
• a structured CocoNet professional network;
• partner analytics and integrations.

We do not intend to build every module immediately.

The next stage is to validate the evolved model commercially and determine how the existing CocoNet platform should develop around real Partner Company and Marketer behaviour.

What already exists

Jain InfoTech brings:

• the existing live CocoNet platform;
• CocoNet brand and domain;
• 150+ existing opportunity listings;
• existing Marketer profile functionality;
• detailed evolved business architecture;
• Partner Company, Marketer and customer journeys;
• managed-pilot methodology;
• proposed two-level Affiliate / Distributor framework;
• customer-association and repeat-value model;
• Brand Hub architecture;
• AI-assisted operating model;
• phased product roadmap;
• Jain InfoTech Custom CRM capabilities;
• Shree Force partner-distribution methodology;
• ongoing strategy, product and technology support.

The opportunity is therefore not simply to “build an app.”

It is to take an existing venture asset, validate its evolved commercial direction and build it into a scalable business.

Who we’re looking for

We are looking for an Operating Co-Founder / Founding Operator who wants to take substantial ownership of CocoNet’s next phase.

You do not need to be a software developer.

The immediate challenge is primarily commercial:

• validate CocoNet with B2B SaaS and service companies;
• secure the first paying Partner Companies under the evolved model;
• recruit and activate relevant Independent Marketers, consultants and agencies;
• refine the business model through real market evidence;
• determine how the existing platform should evolve;
• work with Jain InfoTech on product priorities;
• lead go-to-market;
• build strategic partnerships;
• help form the founding team;
• eventually take day-to-day operating responsibility for CocoNet.

You may be a strong fit if you have experience in

• B2B SaaS;
• partnerships;
• channel sales;
• business development;
• affiliate or referral ecosystems;
• agencies or consulting;
• SME distribution;
• startup operations;
• CRM or sales technology;
• venture building.

We are particularly interested in people with exposure to the US or global B2B SaaS ecosystem.

Technical understanding is useful, but the ability to sell, build partnerships and operate a venture matters more than coding ability.

How we want to build

Our philosophy is:

Revenue before heavy software development.

Rather than rebuilding CocoNet immediately around every part of the expanded vision, we want to:

1. identify a small number of suitable SaaS and digital-service companies;
2. recruit a focused group of SME-facing Independent Marketers;
3. run managed commercial pilots;
4. use the existing CocoNet platform, CRM, AI and other available tools wherever practical;
5. measure customer acquisition, repeat value, partner activation and retention;
6. identify which workflows deserve proprietary CocoNet development;
7. evolve the platform based on evidence rather than assumptions.

Why this could become significant

For SaaS, product and service companies

CocoNet could provide:

• distributed customer acquisition;
• access to Independent Marketers already serving SMEs;
• structured partner onboarding;
• better product training;
• stronger customer continuity;
• AI-assisted partner support;
• measurable partner performance;
• Brand-specific Partner Hubs.

For Independent Marketers

CocoNet could provide:

• multiple relevant products and services to represent;
• product knowledge and AI support;
• recurring customer-value opportunities;
• professional profiles;
• verified performance evidence;
• access to multiple suitable Brands;
• progression toward a more professional marketing career.

The broader vision

CocoNet is exploring whether independent marketing can evolve beyond one-time referral links.

The long-term model is based on:

Brands / SaaS Companies → Independent Marketers → Customers → Continuing Customer Value

Where a Marketer genuinely acquires a customer, the Partner Company may associate that customer with the Marketer for an agreed period.

Eligible renewals, repeat purchases or other continuing customer value may then continue to recognise the Marketer’s contribution under the relevant program rules.

CocoNet is designed around genuine customer business, not recruitment-driven income.

Founder relationship

This is a founder-level venture opportunity, not a conventional employee role.

Jain InfoTech will remain involved as:

• venture originator;
• strategic partner;
• CocoNet brand and know-how contributor;
• product and technology partner;
• Custom CRM capability provider;
• Shree Force distribution-model consultant.

The Operating Co-Founder will be expected to take increasing responsibility for commercial execution and building CocoNet as an independent venture.

There is no fee to apply.

Any future capital contribution, venture financing or Jain InfoTech technology-development engagement would be discussed separately after mutual founder evaluation.

What we care about most

We are not looking for someone who simply wants the title Co-Founder.

We want someone who can help answer:

Can the evolved CocoNet model acquire its first paying SaaS Partner Companies, activate a productive Independent Marketer network and generate real customer business?

If the answer is yes, the existing platform gives us a foundation from which to build something much larger.

When applying

Please briefly share:

1. Your current role and entrepreneurial background
2. Your experience with B2B SaaS, partnerships or sales
3. The market you understand best
4. What you have previously built or scaled
5. How you would approach acquiring CocoNet’s first 3 paying Partner Companies
6. What you would do with the existing CocoNet platform before investing heavily in new development
7. Why you are interested in building CocoNet as a founder rather than joining as an employee

Equity

Up to 14% founder equity, subject to role, commitment, experience, vesting and mutually agreed milestones.

A materially stronger contribution through capital, customers, distribution or team capability may justify a different structure through negotiation.
