The Founding Executive Charter

A better commercial position than the standard bench, for the first 12 executives in. It is written into Schedule 1B of the Network Agreement (v2.2) below, not promised separately.

The uplift runs for 12 months from your first paid engagement, not from the day you sign. Waiting for the right client costs you nothing.

What you get beyond the money

  • A numbered seat: one of 12, named on the public founding page.
  • The Founding Executive badge on your Nuub profile, earned on your first delivered engagement rather than at signature — which is what makes it worth carrying.
  • First refusal on inbound work that matches your role and sector before it goes to the wider bench.
  • A standing say in the method, the diagnostic and the commercial model while they are still being set.

What we ask in return

  • Publicity consent, so your profile can be published and the bench looks like a real bench.
  • Two referenceable outcomes from your own track record that a founder can be told about.
  • One introduction to a business or an executive who should know about Nuub.
  • Three days a quarter held open for Nuub work, released back to you if unused.
  • Honest feedback on the method, the tooling and the client experience while it is still shapeable.

Nuub is early. You would be joining before the demand engine is proven, and the charter pays you for taking that position rather than waiting to see whether it works.

The window runs for 12 months from your first paid engagement, not from the day you sign — so nobody burns their uplift waiting for the first client.

The uplift is written into the Network Agreement you sign, quoted on every payout statement, and computed by the platform. It is not a handshake.

The founding cohort

Named as each executive publishes their profile. The Founding Executive badge appears once their first engagement is delivered.
