## About the Role I'm a great technical founder looking for a great CEO. ## About the Company TalkDoc has been around as a family business for the past ten years. We've helped 3,000 patients, and done over 35,000 appointments. We achieved the best outcomes in the entire country for mental healthcare, according to the data that we collect, including 0.16% hospital utilization for mental health care. In the past three months, we've been taking the step from a family business to a high-growth startup. TalkDoc's professional company has done $6MM in gross revenue. We've also raised $700,000 in external angel funding, including $320,000 in April 2026. All money raised was on a 12MM valuation cap post-money SAFE. Join us in our mission to democratize access to mental healthcare for everyone, starting with those who need it the most. Over the last several years and especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, the need and awareness for mental health has skyrocketed. More and more people need therapy, but it's often hard to find the right therapist or psychiatrist. Even if you find one, wait times can range from weeks to months and one single appointment can cost hundreds of dollars.

Also, note that I've decided to implement a policy of paying candidates who are interviewing as of May 26, 2026, as I tend to get so many good ideas off of the excellent candidates I speak to, that I worry about implementing as they were given during interviews. So we'll enter into a typical contractor agreement between both of us for the duration of the interview, unless you specifically waive that, and write down that I can use your advice without compensation. The hourly rate of the contract will be a midrange of the compensation listed in this role, converting the equity range into hourly cash equivalent.
