Business Development
Work out who Mentix is really for, what it should charge, and where it should go next — with evidence, not opinions.
About the role
Read this before you apply. Mentix is early. There is no fixed salary attached to these roles today, and we are not going to dress one up as something else. What you get instead is written in full under "What this pays" — a share of what the product earns, work you own end to end, and a certificate for the engagement.
If you need guaranteed monthly money right now, this is honestly not the right role for you, and we would rather say that here than waste your time.
What this role actually is
Product-market fit is not a slide. It is the difference between a product students pay for and one they open once.
Your job is to find out which one we are, and to say so honestly. That means using the whole app yourself, talking to students who are preparing for placements, reading what competitors charge and what they leave out, and coming back with findings that change what we build.
This is the role with the least glamour and the most influence. If your research says a feature is not worth building, we do not build it.
What you'll do
- Use every part of Mentix properly and write up what does and doesn't hold up
- Research the market — who else is selling to students preparing for placements, at what price, with what gaps
- Interview real students and turn what they say into findings, not anecdotes
- Pressure-test our pricing and packaging against what people will actually pay
- Bring back a short, blunt recommendation every couple of weeks
What we're looking for
- You are genuinely curious and finish things you start
- You can structure a question and go and answer it without hand-holding
- You write clearly and briefly — findings, not essays
- You are willing to tell the founder something they don't want to hear
- Comfortable talking to strangers about what they'd pay for
What this pays
Profit royalty
2% profit royalty — no stipend promised at the start
Being straight with you: no stipend is promised at the start, and no fixed stipend is promised for now.
What is on offer:
- 2% of the app's profit, paid as a royalty for as long as your engagement runs.
- "Profit" means what is left after payment-gateway fees, infrastructure and direct running costs — not gross revenue.
- Once the product is genuinely earning, a stipend for this role is the intention — but an intention is not a promise, and we are not going to write it down as one.
- The percentage and the terms are put in writing before you start.
Join this one for the learning, the ownership, and because early-stage work is interesting. If it turns into money later, good — but do not take the role on that assumption.
Perks
- Profit royalty — a standing 2% share once the product is profitable
- Certificate on completion
- Your research visibly changes the roadmap — you'll see your findings ship
- The closest seat to how an early product actually gets decided
