Earn the seat

Two doors in.

Pick the one that names you. A partner reads every application, and the gauntlet — not the form — decides. Fifteen minutes of honesty beats a polished résumé.

01

The Right Hand track

For the born operator — the one who has been the most reliable person in every room. Our W-2, our benefits, a pair of founders to run.

US-based only — our founders run American companies on American hours.

If the profile undersells you, the next answer is where you fix that.

This is the answer a partner actually reads. Specifics beat adjectives.

02

The Operator track

For Presidents, COOs and Integrators — the Chief of Staff and Running Mate bench. You’ve run the whole machine; introduce yourself.

Revenue of the operation you actually ran — it maps you to the right founders.

Bench seats are rare by design. Specifics decide who gets the call.

By applying you agree that a partner at Shotgun Partners may contact you by email or phone about your application. We do not sell, rent or share your details with anyone. See our privacy notice.
