I spoke to John, who expressed interest in being our COO on LinkedIn; I just spoke to him on Zoom and emailed this!

I think he's been at Visa and Larry/David Ellison's Oracle. So I was impressed. I sent him this email with intel on our business.

Hi John,

Thank you again for the call today. I appreciated your direct questions — they were exactly the kind a serious operator should ask.

Here’s the clean follow-up with the details you requested:

LinkedIn Screening question

As we're an early stage bootstrapped startup: I want to manage expectations fairly, so we have screen questions for those who are not happy joining startups as we haven't got a lot of ventured investment or sales.

John and several applicants said they were okay with it. As it's also the best time to join any company to matter.

Must-have qualifications Are you comfortable joining an early-stage bootstrapped startup as a founding COO with stock options vesting over time? Ideal answer: Yes Preferred qualifications Do you have experience with partnerships, outreach, creator onboarding, sponsorships, publishing, media, or startup operations? Ideal answer: Yes

Role Summary

We are looking for a Founding COO / commercial operator to focus on commercial execution: bringing on serious creators, securing advertisers/sponsors, building a repeatable sales process, and making AngryPages investable.

I am open to 2.5%–10% equity (with proper vesting and paperwork), depending on scope, commitment, and execution.

Product Overview

AngryPages lets creators create an account, write or upload material, publish it as public story pages, package larger work into books, and optionally use tokens/paywalls through Stripe. The platform also includes AI-assisted publishing tools, content tagging for moderation, cloud storage, and sponsor/ad placement areas for future revenue sharing.

Business / Investor Summary The immediate plan is to prove the model in a focused way: onboard a small number of serious creators, produce one strong creator success story, secure one advertiser or sponsor pilot, and turn that into a repeatable creator + sponsor sales process.

If that works, AngryPages can scale into a publishing platform where creators monetize through tokens, paid access, sponsors, advertising, and publishing support.

Next Step After you review the materials, I’d value your honest perspective on whether you see a viable commercial path here.

If yes, I suggest a short second call focused on one question: What would you do in the first 30 days to land one serious creator and one paying sponsor?

Best, Lehan
