About Adding

At Adding, we are in the early stages of building something bold and exciting. We believe in the power of collaboration, resilience, and smart execution. We’re not just starting a company — we’re laying the foundation for a culture of innovation, grit, and meaningful impact. If you’re someone who thrives on challenges and is eager to build from the ground up, this could be your calling.

The Role

We’re looking for a Co-founder with a strong Sales mindset — a true partner, not just an employee. You’ll be instrumental in shaping our go-to-market strategies, forming partnerships, acquiring early customers, and driving revenue growth from the ground up.

This is a unique opportunity to co-create a company as a key decision-maker, working alongside a founding team that values passion, transparency, and perseverance.

What We’re Looking For

1.You’ve tried building a business before. Maybe it didn’t work out — and that’s completely okay. In fact, that’s a plus.

2.You have a deep entrepreneurial drive and are looking for a second (or third) shot at building something meaningful.

3.You’re based in or willing to relocate to Kolkata, and ready to work full-time and on-site.

4.You come from a marketing or sales background (preferred) and know how to talk to users, pitch ideas, and close deals.

5.You want to be a partner, not just an employee. You’re ready to take ownership — of successes and failures alike.

Responsibilities

1.Build and execute the entire sales system for the company from scratch

2.Generate leads, nurture them, and take full ownership of the sales funnel from initial contact to closing the deal

3.Develop partnerships and strategic distribution channels

4.Work closely with product and marketing teams to align messaging and go-to-market strategies

5.Represent Adding in customer and investor conversations

6.Drive early revenue, user feedback, and market traction

What We Offer

1.Equity ownership in the company (No salary at this stage)

2.A chance to build something from 0 to 1

3.Creative freedom and a voice in strategic decisions

4.A partner you can count on for transparency, hustle, and shared ambition

If you’re done chasing titles and ready to build something real — we should talk
