Product Researcher: launch your own e-commerce brand. $1,000 a month from day 1 + 15% profit share

This is not a job. You find the products, we back the brand.

Arkscale Ventures is a venture studio. We are looking for one person who is exceptional at finding profitable products: someone with a track record of spotting products early, validating demand and developing them with suppliers into products that sell at a healthy margin. Running ads can be hired. What we can't buy is an eye for the right product.

What you get

• $1,000 a month from day 1.
• 15% of the profit of the brand you build, rising to 30% after the trial period.
• Your own company, brand, website and back office, done for you.
• We fund the growth: the tools, the marketing and your first hires.

Who this is for

• You have personally researched and developed products that went on to sell profitably, and you can show the numbers.
• You validate demand before buying stock: search data, competitor sales, reviews, margin after landed cost.
• You know sourcing: suppliers, samples, order minimums, landed cost.
• Ads skills are a bonus, not the point.

To apply, answer five questions:

1. List up to three products you personally researched and developed that went on to sell. For each: the category, how you found it, units sold or monthly revenue, margin after landed cost and ads, and the period.
2. Walk us through how you research a product from idea to first order, step by step: the tools and data you use, and what makes you say no.
3. One product you researched that failed or that you dropped, and what you learned.
4. One product you would launch with us now, and why it will be profitable.
5. Your country, time zone, earliest start date and best email.

Answers without numbers are not taken further.
