About William
I am an engineer, dog-lover, and first-time startup CEO. I quit my job as a water engineer almost a year ago to be able to work full time on my startup, PuppTech. In that time I've built my team to over 10 part-time employees, advisors and interns. We've opened our first fundraising round and have $150K committed, we've been on the news, and we've sold some pre-orders for our unit. I am looking for someone who can come on and be PuppTech's CMO of the future.
Ideally you love dogs (who doesn't in Colorado), have experience with B2C, hardware or IoT products marketing, and are passionate about startups and entrepreneurship. If you've been wanting to start a business but don't have any ideas, or want to join a young, dynamic and exciting startup with the potential to make a real impact in the world for dogs, I would love to speak with you. We are a young enough company, that you have a real opportunity to contribute directly to our growth and success. We want you to think of our company as your company and are happy to offer equity for hard work and results.

Work Experience
CEO
PuppTech
April 2015 - Today
PuppTech is devoted to helping dog owners be able to leave their dogs in the car, on even the hottest day of the summer, so they can spend more time traveling with their dogs and less time worrying about it. I founded this company 2 years ago out of a desire to spend more time with my dog and best friend Clovis. Since starting down this journey I've built a strong team, developed our product prototype, and gained some initial customers. PuppTech is currently raising its first round of funding to get our product into the market and be able to grow quickly into our market opportunity.
