Operating Partner

Operating Partner, Venture Studio

Entrext | Remote | Equity-Based

About Entrext

Entrext is a venture studio that develops its own business theses, identifies market opportunities, and builds ventures around them.

Traditional startup programs often begin with founders and their ideas. We take a different approach. We formulate the thesis, establish the initial direction, and bring in capable people to validate, build, and operate the venture.

We believe the next generation of entrepreneurs will not always begin with an idea. Sometimes, the right opportunity and the right team are what make entrepreneurship possible.

Our goal is to build a portfolio of technology businesses with people who have the ability and ambition to take ownership.

The Role

We are looking for an Operating Partner who can work alongside Entrext to develop and operate multiple ventures within our portfolio.

You will collaborate with us on venture strategy, founding-team formation, validation, and early execution. Once a venture has the right direction and team, you will take responsibility for moving it forward.

This is not a role where you simply advise founders or manage a program. You will be expected to make decisions, execute, and take ownership of business outcomes.

What You Will Do

• Develop venture theses: Work with Entrext to identify opportunities, define problems, and establish the initial business direction.
• Validate opportunities: Test assumptions through customer conversations, market research, waitlists, signups, and other relevant validation methods.
• Build founding teams: Identify and work with suitable technical, growth, and business partners.
• Lead execution: Take ventures from their current stage towards product-market validation, early revenue, and sustainable growth.
• Own multiple ventures: Depending on your capacity and portfolio, take responsibility for approximately three to five ventures.
• Make independent decisions: Determine priorities, allocate effort, and make operating decisions within the agreed scope.
• Work with Entrext: Collaborate on venture strategy, resources, partnerships, and portfolio-level decisions.

Who Should Apply?

This role is suited to people who have already developed meaningful skills in building or operating businesses and want to apply them to entrepreneurship.

You might be:

• An experienced startup operator who wants to lead ventures rather than remain in an execution-only role.
• A builder who understands how to take products from concept to market.
• A growth or sales professional who can validate markets, acquire customers, and build distribution.
• A founder who has previously built something and wants to take on new opportunities.
• An entrepreneurial professional who understands both execution and business fundamentals.

You do not need to arrive with your own startup idea. The ventures and initial theses come from Entrext. What matters is your ability to evaluate opportunities, make sound decisions, and turn them into businesses.

What We Expect

• Strong ownership and independent decision-making.
• A bias towards execution rather than prolonged planning.
• The ability to work through ambiguity and test assumptions.
• Clear communication and accountability.
• The willingness to commit consistent time to the ventures you take on.
• A long-term interest in building businesses rather than simply holding a title.

Ownership and Compensation

This is an initially equity-based operating partnership. There is no guaranteed fixed salary or operating fee before the agreed revenue or fundraising milestones.

The economics, equity or success-based participation, operating fees after the applicable milestones, responsibilities, and venture-specific terms will be documented in the relevant agreement before work begins.

We aim to align ownership with responsibility and the value created. Specific terms will be discussed transparently with the selected candidate.

Important: This opportunity is not suitable for someone seeking immediate fixed monthly income.

How the Partnership Works

1. Opportunity: Entrext brings an initial business thesis and direction.
2. Validation: We work together to test the opportunity and determine whether it merits further investment of time and resources.
3. Team formation: We identify the right people to build and operate the venture.
4. Ownership: The Operating Partner takes responsibility for execution and the agreed portfolio of ventures.
5. Growth: As the businesses progress, the operating and economic structure evolves according to the agreed terms.

Why Entrext?

You get the opportunity to work on business opportunities without having to originate every idea yourself, while taking meaningful responsibility for what gets built.

Rather than starting from a blank page each time, you work with a venture studio that develops initial theses, brings people together, and supports the process of turning opportunities into businesses.

The objective is simple: build ventures, take ownership, and create long-term value.

Fundraising and Investment Opportunities

Operating Partners may also have the opportunity to help establish and raise capital for a venture fund, subject to the required structure, investor commitments, and regulatory approvals.

If an Operating Partner successfully helps raise a fund, the fund's agreed economics may provide compensation for their role, subject to the final terms and available resources. The fund may also invest in promising startups and products within the Entrext ecosystem, including ventures the Operating Partner is actively involved in, subject to investment approval, fund mandate, and applicable conflict-of-interest policies.

This creates an additional pathway beyond operating ventures: help build the investment platform, participate in its economics, and potentially help finance the businesses you are building.

Fundraising, compensation, and investment allocations are not guaranteed and will be governed by separate agreements.
