Creative Director
Project 10K is hiring motivated, fearless, and driven people!
Company Description
Project 10K takes ideas written on napkins or pitch decks or minimal viable tech products and transforms them into stable, viable, and limitless scale tech companies. By combining a world-class software development team with a top-notch go-to-market and sales division, along with financing, legal support, and business consulting, tech companies in Project 10K are poised for an unprecedented level of growth and success.
Our exceptional team of compassionate, hard-working, fun-loving team members empower SaaS entrepreneurs to make a bigger impact by designing, creating, launching, and scaling new SaaS applications (think subscription-based B2B or B2C apps). Our venture-backed firm has cracked the code on validating ideas - vetting, designing, developing, and deploying new SaaS businesses quickly - sometimes in as little as 90 days.
Our business model is a unique hybrid that combines the best elements of a tech incubator, SaaS accelerator, and venture studio to democratize tech. The investment community, along with some notable entrepreneurs, are taking notice.
We’re disruptive - in the best ways, passionate about our mission to create the best experiences for every stakeholder - our employees, co-founders, vendor partners, investors, and the tech ecosystems we partner with.
And because we want to attract the best talent available, we’re investing in our team, first and foremost. If you’re clear about where you want your career to go once hired - whether that’s a promotion within or outside our company, we’ll help craft a clear plan to get you there.
So, what kind of people are joining our growing team?
Likable, focused, well-organized, and goal-driven professionals who share our passion for great experiences. Individuals committed to becoming the best in their field. People with as much emotional intelligence as technical competence. Team players who celebrate the wins and share the losses. We love our days, and the freedom it gives us to have nights and weekends to pursue our passions. We LOVE startups - the energy, creativity, and flexibility this opportunity creates for us.
