I’m Drake Essman, founder of Silent Modz, a custom gaming-controller and accessories brand. I’m looking for an experienced operating partner to become CEO and help expand a business that is already making controller sales. I’ve been starting and owning businesses since age 14. Over the past couple of years, I’ve sold controllers through my existing company, Silent Mines Inc., testing demand and learning which products sell profitably. The business has an ecommerce store, products, inventory, and a history of profitable sales. My focus has been product testing and sales, with limited attention to advertising. The next phase is about building repeatable customer acquisition, a capable team, and consistent operations around that foundation. My plan is to form a separate Silent Modz company and move all current controller sales into it. Silent Mines Inc. and its unrelated activities would remain separate. We would agree and document the business transition and the arrangements for assets and brand rights before committing. I would remain Founder and President with majority ownership, focused on products, sourcing, brand, and distribution. You would be a genuine ownership partner and hands-on CEO, leading daily operations, hiring, budgeting, customer experience, and profitable growth. We would define responsibilities and decision-making authority together. The opportunity includes salary plus minority equity. Salary amount and start date would be agreed based on the finances and operating plan. My initial equity discussion target is 20–25%, with final terms to be agreed. Personal investment is optional and is not a condition of joining; any investment would be discussed separately. The strongest fit is someone who has: • Run a consumer-products or ecommerce P&L and can explain the results they personally delivered. • Managed inventory, fulfillment, returns, working capital, and a small team. • Tested customer-acquisition channels and grown sales while protecting margins. • Built practical systems and followed through on an operating plan. Gaming hardware or consumer-electronics experience is valuable. Remote work is welcome; Columbus is optional. An initial fit conversation would be followed by a review of sales, costs, margins, and the proposed transition into the new company. I want both of us to understand the economics and what a successful partnership would require.
