Co-Founder & Strategic Investor — Somus
Location: UAE / Remote
Type: Co-Founder / Equity
Company: Somus
About Somus
Somus is building a modern social platform designed for the next generation of online communities, content, and interaction.
We are looking for a serious co-founder and strategic investor to join at an early stage and help take Somus from its current stage into a scalable, high-growth company.
This is not a traditional job and it is not a passive investment opportunity.
We are looking for someone who wants to build, invest, take ownership, and create significant value alongside the founding team.
The Role
As Co-Founder & Strategic Investor, you will be expected to contribute meaningfully to the company's growth.
Your responsibilities may include:
- Providing strategic direction and business leadership.
- Contributing capital to accelerate Somus's development and growth.
- Helping define and execute the company's business model.
- Building strategic partnerships and commercial opportunities.
- Supporting fundraising and investor relationships.
- Helping develop go-to-market and user acquisition strategies.
- Recruiting and building a strong team.
- Taking ownership of major business decisions and outcomes.
- Actively participating in the company rather than operating as a passive shareholder.
Investment Requirement
This role requires a genuine willingness to invest.

- You are not prepared to invest capital.
- You are looking for equity without meaningful contribution.
- You expect the founding team to do all the work.
