Most loyalty and retention tools give discounts or points nobody uses. Maeda Eco6tem gives users real, tradeable money for showing up off-peak — instantly.

I'm looking for a commercially-driven co-founder to help turn this from concept into a live gym pilot.

Gyms fix demand and retention at the same time, users get liquid value instead of dead points, and the platform earns a fee on every transaction. The same mechanism extends to other verticals with the same underlying problem — fixed capacity, uneven demand — including healthcare, hospitality, airports, coworking, corporate wellness, and banking, and more, once the first wedge proves out.

The concept is fully designed and demoed — a working prototype shows the full off-peak reward and voucher flow, enough to walk any gym owner or potential cofounder through exactly how it works:

What's missing is the person who can walk into a gym, close the first paid pilot, and help structure the deal — the zero-to-one commercial execution this needs right now.

I'm looking for someone who:

Has real relationships with gym operators, or knows how to build them fast
Can close deals and isn't afraid of the first uncomfortable conversation
Thinks in terms of GTM, pricing, and partner structuring — not just sales scripts
Wants real ownership, not a fee-for-service arrangement

This is not a salaried role or outsourcing gig. Equity: 10-25% for a full-time commercial co-founder; 1-7% for a fractional commercial lead (part-time, hands-on: GTM strategy, business plan/roadmap, fundraising prep, closing the first pilot); 0.25-1% for a classic advisor (occasional strategic guidance, intros). Exact terms structured once we're aligned on fit.

Bonus if you also understand product, marketplace dynamics, or behavioral economics — but commercial execution is the priority right now.

Miami-based / South Florida preferred. Open to remote across the US, and to MENA / GCC for the right person.
