** Co-Founder / President & COO — Accelerator Media
** Accelerator Media is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit building an edtech media franchise with startup energy. We produce the Curiosity Entangled podcast and are developing the Insectopia franchise; an animated series and an AI-powered mobile AR game that gets kids outdoors discovering biodiversity. The long-term vision includes documentaries and independent films that inspire curiosity and centuries-thinking on a global scale.

We have a 10-member international board, products in development, and creative momentum. What we're missing is a business-minded co-leader to build the other half of this organization.
** The Role
** You would co-lead Accelerator Media alongside the founder, owning the business, financial, and operational strategy of the organization. You'd have equal standing in leadership and decision-making, working with the founder and board to shape the direction of a growing nonprofit media organization.
** What You'd Own**- Fundraising strategy: grants, corporate sponsorship, foundation support, and revenue generation
- Financial planning and budgeting as the organization scales
- Operational systems and infrastructure to support growth
- Partnership development across edtech, media, and gaming sectors
- Business model development, including potential B-corp spinoff for IP equity
- Board engagement on governance, strategy, and sustainability
** What We're Looking For**- Experience in nonprofit or startup business development, fundraising, or operational leadership
- Someone who hears about creative traction and immediately thinks about funding models, revenue streams, and growth
- Financial planning skills
- Comfort with ambiguity and early-stage building- A genuine connection to the mission: using technology and storytelling to inspire curiosity and long-term thinking

Edtech, media, or gaming familiarity is a plus but not required. What matters more is that you know how to build a sustainable organization and want to build one that matters.
** What's Already Built**- 501(c)(3) nonprofit registered in 2019, operations launched in 2024- 10-member international board
- Curiosity Entangled podcast in active production
- Insectopia animated series: 22-page pitch bible and proof-of-concept voiced animatic
- Insectopia Explorer mobile game: working prototype on Hugging Face integrating computer vision and AI
** Compensation
* * This is a sweat equity role. There is no salary at this stage. The organization is pre-funding, sustained by volunteer labor and small board contributions. Building sustainable funding is a core reason this role exists. Compensation will be equitable once funding allows, and there is potential for IP equity through a B-corp spinoff as the organization scales. This is a true co-leadership position with equal standing.

Reach out if you want to build something that inspires curiosity and long-term thinking about our shared future.### You have strengths in* + Networking and Business Relationships  + Structuring and strategic thinking### Your Skills* + fundraising  + business strategy  + financial planning  + partnership development  + operations  + business management  + nonprofit managementPrototype
