What are the responsibilities and job description for the Operator-In-Training — Direct Apprenticeship Under Founder with 4 Acquisitions position at Operator Laboratory?
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:
- What business you want to build (or are building)
- Why entrepreneurship matters to you
- What you’ve done so far
- Why you want mentorship from a founder with four exits
Only a small cohort is accepted.
