CEO Location: Austin, Texas
The Company: Venture-backed startup on the cutting-edge of nanosensors. We have a wide portfolio of patents and potential applications for state-of-the-art sensors including: 1) novel, medical diagnostics that will revolutionize preventative medicine (e.g. “Star Trek-like” scanners that can quickly identify what maladies a person has and recommend quick preventative care to solve those problems) and 2) CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear) sensors that can quickly detect microscopic amounts of security threats, which will transform worldwide security detection.
First Year’s Compensation: First year’s salary $200-250,000 plus a guaranteed bonus of $75-100,000 based upon reaching certain mutually agreed upon milestones.
Future Compensation: Endless potential. For example, stock options alone can conservatively net up to $5 million within three years based upon certain reachable goals.
