Operator-In-Training — Direct Apprenticeship Under Founder with 4 Acquisitions

Operator Laboratory
San Diego, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 11/23/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/19/2026

About the Founder

You will be working directly with a founder who has spent 9 years as a serial entrepreneur, driving four companies from pure ideation to acquisition, including:

  • Therapy Animal Hub (Healthtech) — Acquired
  • Oakland Creek Inc (Multifamily Brokerage) — Acquired at $225M ACV
  • Siteground Group (Proptech) — Acquired
  • Shin-bar (Biomed Consumer Product) — Acquired

And currently scaling:

  • Trikin Holdings — a proptech venture in growth mode


This is hands-on mentorship from a founder who has built and exited in multiple industries: real estate, proptech, consumer biomed, and healthtech.


About the Program

We’re building a cohort of Operator-Apprentices who will be coached directly into becoming real operators, with real businesses, and long-term earning potential.

This is not a job.

It’s a founder-led apprenticeship designed for:

  • Entrepreneurs
  • Early-stage builders
  • High-drive individuals
  • Future operators

You bring the idea (or early traction).

The founder brings the frameworks, systems, and operator playbook used to drive four acquisitions in nine years.


What You’ll Receive

  • Weekly 1:1 mentorship
  • Daily Slack/DM support
  • Offer pricing engineering
  • Funnel development & acquisition systems
  • Sales scripts operator training
  • Business model refinement
  • Execution and accountability
  • A spot in the founder’s growing portfolio (rev share equity alignment)

This is the closest thing to having a co-founder — but without giving up 50%.


Terms & Alignment

The program requires:

  • Tuition (starting $500/mo depending on complexity)
  • 5–10% revenue share as your business grows
  • 5–20% equity

The founder wins only when you win.


How to Apply

Submit a 60–90 sec voice memo answering:

  1. What business you want to build (or are building)
  2. Why entrepreneurship matters to you
  3. What you’ve done so far
  4. Why you want mentorship from a founder with four exits


Only a small cohort is accepted.
