Description
You are The Chicken Folks (TCF), a homegrown food startup driven by the desire for flavorsome and comforting food alternatives in the market. In the past year, you have successfully introduced two beloved brands: 1. **The Chicken Folks**: Offering bold and comforting chicken choices for all moods. 2. **BunHead**: Serving burgers that go beyond the ordinary. Both brands have garnered consistent 4.3+ star ratings, loyal customers, and strong brand recognition in Gurugram. Despite being bootstrapped, these brands have been meticulously developed with a focus on flavor and determination. With a proven product-market fit and tangible traction, you are now embarking on the next phase of growth, aiming for a scalable, product-centric approach that resonates with the modern culinary landscape of India. Recognizing the limitations and challenges posed by platform dependency and aggregator margins, your focus is now on building a brand-led, margin-friendly, and direct-first model to ensure ownership, loyalty, and profitability. At this pivotal juncture, you are seeking a Co-Founder to join your journey. This individual will play a critical role in accelerating growth, co-leading initiatives, and co-creating the future of the company. This opportunity is not merely a role but a long-term partnership aimed at shaping an iconic and culturally significant presence in the Indian food industry. The ideal candidate for this position is someone who: - Is passionate about food brands and has a background in F&B or a keen eye for brands that resonate with consumers. - Possesses knowledge of early-stage fundraising, investor relations, or capital structuring, with prior experience being a plus. - Demonstrates the resilience to build, the curiosity to experiment, and the commitment to sustained growth. - Believes in the potential for food to be both nutritious and appealing on a large scale. - Brings expertise in operations, direct-to-consumer strategies, food technology, branding, or offline activations. This collaborative endeavor will require dedication, creativity, and some level of investment, as it involves building something of significant impact from the ground up. If you share the passion for creating meaningful ventures and are aligned with the vision of The Chicken Folks, we invite you to connect with us. If you embody initiative, attention to detail, determination, and strategic decision-making, and if you are intrigued by the fusion of food and branding in the Indian context, we are eager to engage in conversation with you.
