Growth Partner for a Live, Patent-Pending AI Platform — $10K, 3 Months, Paid on Revenue You Close

We build Gigafaze — a patent-pending AI platform, live in production, built by Certified AI Scientists, practitioners, and engineers. We are hiring one senior growth operator (or a small hands-on team) for a 90-day, revenue-gated engagement: bring us at least $5,000/month in new recurring revenue from new customers. All three milestones are funded into Upwork escrow on day one, our CEO personally joins your demos and closing calls, and if you hit the number early, everything releases early. This post is longer than most because it contains the actual terms of the engagement. Read it once and you will know exactly what "done" means, exactly how you get paid, and exactly what we provide. If you would rather sell meetings than close revenue, stop here and save your connects. WHO WE ARE Gigadrive LLC (founded 2016, Dallas–Fort Worth, Texas) builds Gigafaze (gigafaze.com): a patent-pending AI aggregation, orchestration, and execution platform. A US utility patent was filed in February 2026 covering the platform's core inventions — systematic AI aggregation, MCP-based orchestration, and subject-matter-expert model specialization. Gigafaze is built by Certified AI Scientists, practitioners, and engineers, led by a CAIS™-certified founder-CEO, and it is not a concept deck: see thrivehr.gigafaze.com, a live AI staffing agency running 13 AI Employees on 13 dialable phone lines across six channels (phone, web voice, web chat, SMS/WhatsApp, email, social), integrated with ADP, Workday, Paylocity, Calendly, and Zoom. We sell outcomes, not software: every deployment is priced against the salaries and lost revenue it replaces, measured on one KPI the buyer already tracks, and governed — per-agent action boundaries, immutable audit, PII redaction, and humans holding final authority. WHAT YOU WILL SELL AI Employee packages for US and Canadian SMB-to-mid-market service businesses: AI receptionists and specialists that answer every call 24/7, qualify leads, book appointments, and hand only true exceptions to a human. Entry packages start around $500/month; growth packages around $1,000/month; full-suite deployments run $2,500–$3,500+/month, plus one-time setup fees. Primary wedge (fastest cycle): staffing and recruiting agencies, HR consultancies, professional services, medical/dental, and multi-location service operators. Secondary (higher value, longer cycle): MSPs/MSSPs and IT leaders for our NOC/Cybersecurity Digital Twins and VMware Smart SME agents. Short sales cycles, a live demo environment, transparent pricing, and a founder who closes. The full 41-SKU price book and quote builder are shared under NDA at kickoff; align your plan to it then. THE GOAL At least $5,000/month in new recurring revenue (MRR) from new, partner-sourced customers within the 3-month engagement. Any mix qualifies: ten customers at $500/month; five at $1,000/month; three at $1,500/month plus one at $500/month; or any other combination of new customers whose monthly recurring fees total $5,000 or more. Only contracted monthly recurring fees count, net of discounts. One-time setup, onboarding, professional services, and usage pass-through never count toward MRR. HOW YOU GET PAID — THE BINDING TERMS Fixed price: $10,000 total, three Upwork milestones of $3,335 each, all funded into escrow at contract activation. These exact terms will also appear in each milestone description on the contract: Milestone 1 (end of Month 1): releases when at least $1,000 of new MRR is live (for example, one $1,000 customer or two $500 customers) AND the foundation deliverables are accepted (discovery pack, launched sequences, live CRM instrumentation and dashboard). Milestone 2 (end of Month 2): releases when cumulative new MRR reaches at least $2,500. Milestone 3 (end of Month 3): releases when cumulative new MRR reaches at least $5,000/month. Rollover: if an interim gate is missed, that milestone's funds roll forward and release only when the cumulative target is later met within the engagement window. Early release: if the $5,000/month target is reached early, all remaining milestones release immediately upon verification, and we continue through Month 3 building pipeline. Any milestone still unreleased at the end of the engagement is not paid. No vanity metrics: leads, meetings, demos, or proposals alone never unlock payment — only paid recurring revenue as defined below. DEFINITIONS AND EVIDENCE (read these; they are the acceptance criteria) Acquired customer: a new, partner-sourced customer that has (i) executed a Gigafaze customer agreement (our standard agreement carries a 3-month minimum initial term; month-to-month is allowed at our discretion for pilots), AND (ii) paid its first monthly recurring invoice in full — an active Stripe subscription with first payment cleared, or a paid Gigafaze invoice (Stripe/PayPal). A customer that churns, cancels, or charges back within 30 days of first payment is removed from the count for any milestone not yet released. Attribution: you are credited when the first meaningful touch — logged in the CRM with timestamp, channel, and campaign ID — was initiated by your campaign, OR when you sourced and booked the first held meeting. Excluded: accounts on our exclusion list (existing customers, active pilots, and in-conversation prospects — about six named accounts, shared under NDA and frozen on Day 1) and inbound referrals from our own network unless you demonstrably worked the deal to close. A hybrid attribution model is acceptable if agreed in writing during Week 1. Milestone evidence package: CRM records per credited customer (first-touch source, campaign ID, meeting dates); executed agreement copies; billing confirmation of the first paid recurring invoice; campaign logs by channel; weekly dashboard snapshots. The Gigafaze Command Center CRM is the system of record (dedicated tenancy provisioned for you; HubSpot sync on request); every touch, meeting, and stage change mirrored within 24 hours. Qualified means firmographic fit, right title, decision authority, and a meeting actually held — no-shows never count. Ad spend: optional, funded by Gigadrive separately from the $10,000, up to $1,500/month in our ad accounts, with written pre-approval per test and a CAC tracking plan. Say in your proposal whether your plan depends on paid media. WHAT YOU OWN vs. WHAT WE PROVIDE You own: ICP definition, compliant list building with documented lawful basis, messaging, multichannel execution and weekly iteration (email, manual LinkedIn, live phone, partnerships, warm intros), meeting booking, pipeline hygiene, weekly reporting, and driving deals with us through signature and first payment. We provide: the CEO on demos and closing calls up to 6 hours/week plus a 45-minute weekly pipeline review; proposals and quotes within 24 business hours; 2–3 warmed, dedicated sending domains with SPF/DKIM/DMARC (gigafaze.com is never used for cold email); the CRM tenancy and dashboard; decks, one-pagers, objection handlers, and live demo environments; NDA and standard customer agreement; and fast written answers to blockers within one business day. RULES OF ENGAGEMENT (non-negotiable) No spam blasting. No purchased lists without a documented lawful basis. No LinkedIn automation or scraping tools — manual, human-in-the-loop prospecting only. No robocalls, prerecorded or AI-voice cold calls, or ringless voicemail; live human calls only, DNC-scrubbed, with accurate caller ID. Email must be CAN-SPAM compliant (truthful headers, physical address, opt-outs honored within 48 hours); EU/UK outreach only under a documented GDPR/PECR legitimate-interest approach. SMS only through A2P 10DLC-registered campaigns with opt-in. Never misrepresent our capabilities, pricing, or customers; every AI-assisted personalization is human-reviewed before sending. We sell governed AI — outreach that would embarrass a CHRO or CISO if forwarded is out of bounds. A violation of these rules is grounds for immediate termination, and unreleased milestones are not paid. CONTRACT TERMS Three months from activation; no auto-renewal; extension or conversion to an ongoing performance retainer only by mutual written agreement. NDA required before kickoff. Lists, sequences, and campaign assets built for this engagement are Gigadrive's work product per Upwork's standard fixed-price terms. No solicitation of our customers, partners, or prospects for competing offerings during the engagement and for twelve months after. All payments run through Upwork. WHY THIS IS A GOOD DEAL FOR THE RIGHT PERSON The money is visibly in escrow on day one. The founder sells with you and turns proposals around in 24 hours. The product is live, demonstrable, and priced from $500/month — a short-cycle sale. The gates are cumulative with rollover, so one slow month does not zero you out, and hitting the number early pays you early. And the operator who delivers this becomes our standing growth partner as we scale. HOW TO APPLY Start your proposal with the word GIGAWATT (proposals without it are not reviewed), then answer: Your forecast math to $5K MRR in 90 days — volumes, reply rates, meetings, closes, cycle length. The ICP you would target first, and why (fastest cycle vs. highest lifetime value). Which channels you will run in the first two weeks, and your first three experiments. One or two B2B SaaS/AI results you personally drove, with real numbers (MRR added, conversion rates, cost per meeting). Confirm you will follow the Rules of Engagement above, and state whether your plan depends on paid media (and at what budget). One or two references or testimonials (links fine). Review gigafaze.com and thrivehr.gigafaze.com before applying and cite at least two specifics from them. Proposals reviewed within five business days; shortlisted applicants receive the full engagement brief (price book summary, exclusion list under NDA, reporting templates) and a 30-minute interview; the top two do a 60-minute working session on their funnel math. Target start: within two weeks. If you sell meetings, this is not your project. If you close revenue, the escrow is already funded. GIGAWATT.
