New York (or remote)
Unique opportunity to create a niche SaaS startup based on a fully functioning market-leading product.
A thriving New York-based multi-location dog daycare/boarding company is seeking the right person (or team of two people) to spin-off its internal webapp system into a startup SaaS business and lead and build the resulting venture.
There is an attractive opportunity to productize and sell this webapp service to other daycare/boarding companies nationwide (and beyond?) for a monthly subscription.
The webapp was built by former a Google/MIT guy (who co-owns the dog daycare business) with some collaborators along the way. It's a reasonably-sized Python/Django/Javascript app and has been in daily use and continuing improvement for over two years.
We created this webapp because available services for dog daycare/boarding companies were clunky and limited, as typical for software for niche industries. We're confident that whoever takes on this challenge will be able to hit the ground running with a market-leading service.
The right person (or pair) should have exceptional technical skills, a combination of product development and customer discovery skills, and the hunger to create and run a thriving niche SaaS business. And a true love for dogs!
