I am the founder of Hello Moxie, an early-stage company, and I am seeking legal assistance to create an advisor equity program. Below is a summary of our company details, what we need drafted, and the key decisions already made with guidance from our fractional CFO. I would appreciate a flat-fee quote for this scope of work. 1. Company Overview Company Name: Hello Moxie, Inc. Stage: Early-stage / early revenue (emerging company) Business: Women's leadership development and mentoring platform focused on underrepresented industries Entity Type: C-Corporation Existing Equity Plans: We have an existing Optional Stock Plan in place for Founding Mentors, which these advisor documents should be consistent with 2. Advisor Program Details Number of Advisors: 4 advisors Advisor Pool Size: We are considering reserving 4% of the company for the advisor pool, with roughly equal grants per advisor. Please advise on what is standard and defensible at our stage. Vesting: 2-year vesting schedule, vesting monthly (standard per our CFO's recommendation) Instrument Chosen: Restricted Stock (RS) grants — recommended by our fractional CFO given our early stage and current low fair market value 3. Documents Needed We need the following documents drafted: 1. Board Resolution / Board Approval — approving the creation of the advisor equity pool and authorizing RS grants 2. Restricted Stock Plan Document — to serve as an exhibit to the board minutes, governing the overall program 3. Individual Restricted Stock Grant Agreements — one template agreement between Hello Moxie and each advisor, with variables for name, number of shares, grant date, and vesting schedule (4 total) 4. Advisor Cover Letter Template — a simple cover letter to accompany the grant documents, consistent in style with our existing contractor letters 5. Blank IRS 83(b) Election Form + Filing Instructions — to be given to each advisor at signing; they must file within 30 days of grant 4. Key Parameters Already Decided The following decisions have been made with CFO guidance and should be reflected in the documents: • Exercise price will be set equal to Fair Market Value as determined by the Board of Directors, to minimize tax exposure at grant • RS grants (not NSOs) • 2-year monthly vesting • Unvested shares subject to repurchase/clawback upon advisor departure 5. Additional Questions for You Please advise on the following as part of your engagement: • What is the recommended process for having the Board formally set the Fair Market Value for the RS grants? • What is the appropriate FMV for an early-stage LLC at our stage, and does the board need a formal valuation? • Are there any clawback, IP assignment, or confidentiality provisions we should include in the advisor agreement? 6. What I Am Looking For I am looking for a startup-experienced attorney who can provide a flat-fee quote for this package. The documents should be reusable across all four advisors (with variable fields for name, shares, and date). I have an existing contractor equity plan these should be consistent with — I am happy to share those documents for reference. Please let me know your availability for a brief call and your estimated fee for this scope. Thank you for your time.

We’re looking for a creative anchor for our paid media clients. You own ad creative from concept through final asset: design strategy, first drafts, revision cycles, and the production pipeline that gets variants out the door. This role requires using an AI-assisted production stack. You’ll spend your hours on the work that requires judgment — concepting, client-facing creative strategy, and revision decisions — not hand-resizing 40 banner variants. You'll work directly with our Head of Paid Media and ads managers. What you'll own - Creative strategy per client. You run the design strategy process for each account - competitor and market research, testing plans, and campaign concepts tied to performance data. - Static ad design. First drafts and full campaign suites for Meta, Google, and LinkedIn. Data-driven creative that's built to convert, not win awards. - Revision cycles. Internal and client feedback rounds, managed to a standard: tight turnarounds, limited rounds, clear rationale when you push back. - The AI production pipeline. You operate and improve our versioning/resizing workflow. When a new tool cuts production time without cutting quality, you test it and systematize it. - Video creative direction. Scripting, storyboards, and creative briefs for video ads. Editing execution is a plus. - Quality control. If it's not client-ready, it doesn't go out. - Asset hygiene. Working files, final files, and folder structure stay organized and findable. The next person can pick up any account cold. This role is paid ads production at scale — resizing, iterating, systematizing, and executing within clear brand guidelines. If you enjoy: - Clean systems - Clear feedback - Repeating what works (and improving it incrementally) - Using AI tools to move faster …this role will be a great fit. If you’re looking for expressive, experimental, or open-ended creative work, this is probably not the right seat. _________ Primary Responsibilities - Create and resize high volumes of paid ad creative across platforms: - Meta (Facebook / Instagram) - Google Display - LinkedIn (occasional) - Produce ad variations for: - Event stages (early bird → last chance) - A/B tests (copy, imagery, CTA emphasis) - Execute cleanly within existing brand systems - Incorporate feedback quickly with minimal revision cycles Occasionally support: - Simple motion graphics - Light video editing (short-form ads) - GIF creation Workflow Note A large portion of this role is production work. You’ll often be working from: - Existing templates - Prior winning creatives - Clear creative direction from our lead designer + media team - Speed, consistency, and accuracy matter more than originality Tools & Skills Required Must-Haves -Strong experience designing paid digital ads -Advanced proficiency in: -Adobe Photoshop -Adobe Premier Pro is a plus -Google Business Suite -Comfortable exporting for multiple platforms + specs -Strong attention to detail (typos, alignment, brand compliance) -Ability to follow systems and checklists -Great time tracking AI & Automation We strongly prefer designers who already use (or are eager to use): - AI-assisted image generation or enhancement - Background removal, upscaling, smart resizing - Template-based workflows - Any AI tools that reduce repetitive effort without sacrificing quality (You don’t need to use the same tools we do — just show us how you work faster.) Bonus - Scriptwriting & video editing skills - Experience inside an EOS, Traction, or ScalingUp company - Familiarity with Looker Studio, Google Analytics, or other reporting tools _________ You’re likely a strong fit if you: - Are detail-oriented and precise - Prefer clear direction over ambiguity - Enjoy executing and refining more than reinventing - Take pride in clean, error-free delivery - Can shift up or down in hours without friction - Are comfortable working with clients to talk creative strategy Tools you'll use daily - ClickUp, Basecamp, Slack, Zoom, Google Workspace, Claude, Zapier, Swydo, Vidyard

ABOUT US We're Tally — an AI phone assistant for hair salons. When a salon owner can't get to the phone (because she's behind the chair), Tally answers the call 24/7 and instantly texts the caller a booking link, so new clients book instead of going to voicemail. We're a small, fast-moving startup launching in Utah. Website: gettallyai.com WHAT WE NEED A UGC creator to produce short, authentic, scroll-stopping vertical videos (9:16) for Instagram/Facebook ads. Think "real salon owner talking to camera / real salon B-roll," NOT polished corporate ads. We want content that feels native to the IG feed. WHO THE VIDEOS ARE TALKING TO A hands-on hair salon owner (30s-40s) who runs a small 2-6 chair salon and also cuts hair herself. She has no front desk. Her pain: she misses calls while her hands are full, and those missed calls are new clients booking somewhere else. She's not techy and doesn't care about "AI" — she cares about a full chair and not losing clients. THE ANGLE / MESSAGE (every video should hit these beats) 1) Call out the pain: "You can't cut hair and answer the phone at the same time." 2) The cost: "Every missed call is a client who just booked down the street." 3) The relief: "Tally answers every call and texts them your booking link — instantly." 4) One CTA: "Book a free demo" / "Hear it live." Hooks to test in the first 1-2 seconds: "Utah salon owners — how many calls did you miss today?" / "You can't cut hair AND answer the phone." / "Stop losing clients to voicemail." DELIVERABLES (first order) - 3-5 vertical videos (9:16), 15-30 seconds each - Punchy on-screen captions/subtitles (most people watch muted) - 1-2 hook variations per concept for A/B testing - Raw + final files; delivered within 10-14 days WHAT WE'LL PROVIDE Brand assets (logo, colors, fonts), our written ad copy/scripts, our live demo phone line you can call and record, and access to real salon footage where possible. You're welcome to act as the on-camera "salon owner" or use your own creator network. YOU'RE A GREAT FIT IF YOU - Have a portfolio of UGC / short-form social ads (beauty, salon, local service, or small business a big plus) - Understand Meta ad creative and hook-driven retention - Can write light scripts from a brief and turn around revisions fast - Shoot authentic, real-feeling content (not stock/templated) BUDGET & TERMS Fixed price for a test batch of 3-5 videos (open to a per-video rate or an ongoing weekly arrangement for the right person). We'll start with a paid test batch and scale if it performs. TO APPLY, PLEASE ANSWER: 1) Share 2-3 short-form/UGC samples (links). Which is closest to what you'd make for us and why? 2) Have you made content for salons/beauty or local service businesses? 3) Do you film yourself / have on-camera talent, or are you editing footage we provide? 4) What's your rate per video and turnaround for a batch of 3-5? 5) Pitch me one hook you'd open an ad with for this audience.

Brand Visual Language & UI Design System for PEARL Literacy & Learning (Figma Design Only – No Website Development) Project Overview I'm looking for an experienced Brand/UI Designer to create the visual language and UI design system for my company, PEARL Literacy & Learning. This is not a WordPress development project. My website content, structure, messaging, logo, color palette, and development prototype already exist. The next step is to create a distinctive visual identity that can be implemented by a WordPress developer. The objective of this engagement is to create a complete design system and brand visual language that can be implemented in WordPress without requiring a React-based application, AI-generated layouts, or custom front-end framework. The successful candidate should have experience designing marketing websites intended for CMS implementation and understand how to balance visual creativity with practical development constraints. The goal is to develop a refined, cohesive visual language that makes PEARL immediately recognizable—not simply another education or consulting website. Development will be completed separately after the design system is finalized. Current Development Prototype https://broad-forest-52a9.dickon.workers.dev About PEARL PEARL Literacy & Learning helps individuals, schools, colleges, and businesses improve learning, literacy, executive functioning, and performance. The website should communicate intelligence, credibility, warmth, trust, and systems thinking—not feel clinical or corporate. What I Need 1. Brand Visual Language Develop a cohesive visual identity that includes: Color palette application and usage Typography hierarchy UI components Card styles Buttons Forms Iconography Graphic language Photography direction Subtle gradients Background treatments Section transitions Recurring visual motifs The visual language should reinforce concepts such as: Systems Pathways Relationships Connected thinking Learning Performance Executive functioning I'm not looking for elaborate illustrations or heavy graphics. I prefer refined, understated design that feels intelligent, sophisticated, modern, warm, and approachable. One way I describe my goal is this: If the PEARL logo were removed from the website, someone familiar with the brand should still recognize it because of the consistency and uniqueness of the overall visual language. 2. Homepage Design Design a complete homepage that establishes: Navigation Hero section Services overview Calls to action Overall visual rhythm Reusable components The homepage should establish the visual foundation for the remainder of the website. 3. Our Approach Page This page is the most important proof of concept because it communicates the PEARL methodology. It should visually communicate: The PEARL framework Learning → Performance Systems thinking Relationships and connected concepts AI integration Process visualization Icons Infographics Interactive diagram concepts (if appropriate) Deliverables Please provide the final design package in a format that can be efficiently implemented by a WordPress developer. The website will be developed separately using WordPress (Kadence/Gutenberg or Bricks), so the design should be created with practical implementation in mind rather than relying on React, custom-coded interactions, AI-generated layouts, or other framework-specific features. The final deliverables should include: Editable Figma source files Homepage design (desktop and mobile) Our Approach page (desktop and mobile) Complete UI component library Typography system Color palette and usage guide Icon and graphic style guide Photography direction Background and gradient treatments Basic visual language guide documenting how the system should be applied across future pages Components should be organized, named consistently, and designed so they can be efficiently translated into reusable WordPress blocks, patterns, and templates during development. Design Direction I'm looking for a website that feels: Intelligent Sophisticated Warm Approachable Trustworthy Modern Editorial Premium Distinctive I prefer generous white space, intentional use of color, strong hierarchy, and subtle graphics that support the content rather than compete with it. The website should feel purposeful and cohesive, not like a generic education, consulting, healthcare, or SaaS template. Inspiration These sites are provided as inspiration for the quality of design, consistency, visual rhythm, and brand personality—not to be copied. https://srenergy.com (personality, and continuity between desktop and mobile) https://www.maven.com (navigation and thoughtful use of accent and contrast color) https://www.teachable.com (white space and readability) https://www.stripe.com (subtle graphics, rounded components, and restrained use of brand colors) Please Include With Your Proposal Three examples of marketing websites where you were responsible for both the visual identity and UI design. A brief description of your design process. Whether you typically create both the brand visual language and the UI design system as part of your work. Confirmation that this project will be created as a custom design rather than adapted from an existing template or AI-generated layout. If creating a complete brand visual language is not part of your typical process, please let me know whether you collaborate with or can recommend a designer who specializes in that portion of the work. Existing Project Materials I already have: Logo Color palette Website content Information architecture Development prototype Overall messaging The focus of this engagement is creating the visual language and UI design system that will serve as the foundation for WordPress development. Please review the attached project overview before submitting your proposal.

We're a growing digital advertising and systems agency working with founders, business owners, and brands across paid media, funnels, and automation. We're looking for a Client Partnership Manager to own day-to-day client communication and project visibility so our founder can stay focused on strategy, performance, and growth. This is not a virtual assistant role. This is an agency-side account and client success role. You will be the main point of contact for clients, ensuring they always know what's happening, what's next, and that their partnership with us feels organized, proactive, and high-level. What You'll Own: Every week you will be responsible for the following, in order of priority. You will monitor active client accounts at the start of each week, flagging any performance issues, disapproved ads, or tracking anomalies to the internal team before the client notices them. You will manage all client email communication. Every message gets acknowledged within 1 business day. If the full answer requires input from the team, the client still receives a same-day response with a clear timeline. Every Friday, you will write and send a Weekly Performance Snapshot to every active client — a brief, personalized update covering the week's numbers, what was done, what is being watched, and what is coming next. We provide the template and the data. You write the update and send it. When we hold bi-weekly Strategy Sessions with clients, you will prepare the pre-call brief 24 hours in advance and send the written recap within 24 hours after. You will log all resulting action items in ClickUp. You will keep ClickUp current — updating task statuses, flagging anything overdue or blocked, and following up with clients who have outstanding approvals or missing assets. Once per month, you will compile the monthly performance summary for each active client and flag any contracts approaching their renewal window. What This Role Is Not: You will not be building ad campaigns, making targeting or budget decisions, or writing ad copy. Those responsibilities belong to our media buyer and founder. You will not be making scope commitments on behalf of the agency. If a client requests something outside the current agreement, the response is always: "Let me confirm whether that falls within your current scope and get back to you." Who We're Looking For: You have at least 2 years of experience in account management, client success, or project coordination — ideally inside a digital marketing or advertising agency. You write clearly and professionally. You are proactive by nature, not reactive. You notice what is about to fall through the cracks before it does, and you handle it without being asked. You do not need to be a media buyer or ads expert. You need to understand basic performance marketing well enough to read a dashboard and explain the numbers to a business owner in plain language. You are based in the United States, available Monday through Friday, and able to commit to a focused 3-4 hour block each week on a consistent schedule. Requirements: Based in the United States 2+ years in account management, client success, or project coordination (agency experience strongly preferred) Excellent written English — you are writing client-facing communication every week Comfortable working in ClickUp, Gmail, Slack, and Google Drive Able to read and summarize basic performance data (ad spend, cost per lead, ROAS) for a non-technical audience Self-directed, reliable, and deadline-driven without needing daily oversight Nice to Have: Experience with GoHighLevel or AgencyAnalytics Background at a paid media or performance marketing agency Compensation: Hourly. We are looking for the right person, not the lowest rate. This role has a clear path to increased hours and expanded responsibility as the agency scales. How to Apply: Please submit a proposal that includes the following: A brief introduction covering your background in account management or client success, the types of clients or industries you have worked with, and what you believe separates good client communication from great client communication. One specific example of a time you managed a difficult client situation — what happened, how you handled it, and what the outcome was. Your availability (days and hours you are able to work each week) and your hourly rate. Proposals that do not address all three points above will not be reviewed.

I'm Nick Ortner, founder of The Tapping Solution, and I'm running a 20-peer-reviewed-paper publication initiative over 24 months on what is likely the largest real-world dataset in consumer digital mental health: 18+ million measured sessions with paired pre-and-post self-rated symptom intensity. The platform uses Emotional Freedom Techniques (tapping). I work daily with Claude Opus 4.7 to draft analyses, write manuscripts, and fact-check. I'm fast at the front end of a paper but the back end keeps stalling: manual qualitative coding, citation verification, manuscript polishing, journal-specific formatting, collaborator scouting and outreach, biostat handoffs. I'm looking for one person to be my fractional research operations lead. Not a writer alone, not a coordinator alone — the person who reads where each paper is, decides what specialists or collaborators to bring in, hires them, manages them, and pushes papers from 80% done to submitted. Reports to me. 15–25 hours/week. $80–140/hr. Remote, async-friendly. If you're a PhD-level researcher in clinical psychology, behavioral medicine, health services research, digital therapeutics, or related and you use Claude/Opus or ChatGPT daily, keep reading. What we have right now (so you can judge the work) The IBS paper is the most developed example and the one I want help finishing. Current state: Quantitative slice. Master export from the production database, 18+ million measured sessions across the platform. The clean IBS slice: 312,215 rows, 19 IBS- and gut-themed sessions. Primary analytic cohort (paired ratings, pre≥2): 117,310 sessions / Cohen's dz = 1.32, 94% improved, 74% with ≥2-pt reduction on a 0–10 scale. SHA-256 chain-of-custody preserved. 11 pre-specified analyses run, all outputs saved. Manuscript. A 6,800-word v2 draft following STROBE/RECORD reporting standards, targeting npj Digital Medicine. Methods, Results, Discussion drafted. Has been fact-checked once with a 20-issue audit applied. Reference list has 21 verified citations and needs to expand to 50–60. Tables and figures not yet generated. Qualitative corpus. 438 free-text feedback messages from users on IBS/gut sessions, with paired pre/post intensity ratings on the same encounters. A 20-theme codebook is already drafted with first-pass coding done. Needs an independent second coder for intercoder reliability. Journey data. Full cross-category use data for the 8,800-user "Tier 2" IBS cohort: 1.1 million sessions across all platform categories. Initial analysis done — 79% of IBS cohort users also use anxiety content; 50% use pain content; 35% use vagus-nerve-toning content. Seed of a companion "journey" paper. Pipeline outside IBS. ). A rumination paper at draft v7. A depression paper drafting in parallel. A pain relief paper biostat-validated. Sleep, reproductive health, a platform-wide flagship, anger, trauma, caregiver, and several condition-specific applications are next. The IBS paper is one of 20. The work pattern repeats. What you'd actually do (the workflow, specifically) This is not "write papers from scratch." This is "take what's already done and push it through the last 20%." An actual week: Monday. Read where each active paper is. Update the project status doc. Identify the binding constraint on each for IBS, the second-coder hire and the v3 editorial pass. For Pain, journal formatting and supplementary materials.. Pull anything I've added or changed. Tuesday. Run an Opus 4.7 session on the IBS paper. Open the v2 draft, the fact-check audit, and the qualitative corpus. Prompt Opus to draft the v3 enhancements (clinical-vignette opening, EFT-credibility paragraph, expanded discussion integration of qualitative themes). Review the output, decide what stays and what gets sharpened. Make manual edits where Opus over-reaches or misses the project voice. We have a paper-writing-philosophy doc; you'll internalize it. Wednesday. Collaborator scouting. The IBS paper needs a practicing GI clinician co-author. You search PubMed and conference attendee lists for GI clinicians with publications in digital therapeutics or behavioral GI, ideally at a major academic center with a friendly stance toward mind-body work. You build a target list of 8–12 candidates, draft a warm-introduction email each, and we send them. Same process for other papers as they need their condition-specific co-author. For the reproductive health paper, you're scouting a women's-health researcher. For the journey paper, possibly a digital therapeutics methodologist. This is real research-program work, and it's the highest-leverage thing you can do. Thursday. Post a fixed-price Upwork project for the qualitative second coder using the codebook brief I'll provide. Screen the applicants down to a shortlist, run 15-minute calls, hire one. Onboard them with the corpus, codebook, and deliverable spec. Manage them through to delivery. Friday. Citation verification on the v3 reference list using PubMed and journal records or hire that out to a Upwork specialist if the list is over 30 entries. Format the manuscript to npj Digital Medicine's actual submission template. Generate Table 1 and Figure 1 from the analytic outputs. Throughout: you're using Claude/Opus 4.7 as your primary work tool. The expectation is that you've been doing this in your own work already. The specific bottlenecks I need help with In order of how much time they currently consume me: Manuscript polishing from v2 to submission-ready. Each paper has a v2 draft that's substantively correct but needs editorial enhancement, reference list expansion, table/figure generation, and journal-specific formatting. Roughly 20–40 hours per paper, of which 10 benefit from my judgment and the rest is execution. Collaborator scouting and outreach. Each paper benefits from a condition-specific co-author (GI clinician for IBS, women's health researcher for reproductive health, etc.). Finding them, vetting fit, drafting warm-intro emails, managing the relationship through to authorship commitment — this is significant work and almost nobody is doing it well at industry pace. Coordinating academic co-authors who are already committed. Drafts shared, calls scheduled, action items tracked, version control maintained. The work itself is small; the volume of it is the problem. Citation verification and reference management. Every paper's reference list needs each entry verified against PubMed. We've been burned by AI-generated citations that turn out not to exist; verification is non-negotiable. Hiring and managing Upwork specialists. Second coders for qualitative work, statistical reviewers for sensitivity analyses, citation verifiers, occasional medical writers. You decide who to hire for each paper, post the listings, screen, onboard, manage delivery. Journal submission management. Each paper goes to a specific journal with specific submission templates, cover-letter conventions, suggested-reviewer lists, conflict-of-interest disclosures, data-availability statements. Biostatistician handoff package preparation. Each paper needs a validation package: dataset, analysis scripts, expected outputs, decision log, README, biostatistician instructions document. We have a template format; you'd populate it per paper. Different papers need different things at different times. The role is to know what each paper needs and execute on it. What you'd need to be good at Real research literacy. You've authored or co-authored peer-reviewed papers. You know what a Methods section looks like for an observational cohort study. You can read STROBE, RECORD, GRAMMS, and PRISMA reporting standards without explanation. You know what intercoder reliability is. You have an instinct for what reviewers care about. AI fluency as a daily work tool. You use Claude/Opus or ChatGPT for at least an hour a day in your existing work. You're past the "is this a fad" stage. When I tell you we work in Opus 4.7, you don't need me to explain prompting. You can hold a long Opus session and come away with sharper output than you started with. Project-management instinct. You think in deliverables, dependencies, and timelines. You can hold 5 papers in your head simultaneously, each at different stages, and know what's blocking what. You flag friction early. Network sense. You know how to find the right academic collaborator for a given paper. You can read a PubMed search and identify who's actually doing publishable work in a given space versus who's been quoted in a press release. You can write a warm-intro email that gets opened and replied to. Specialist-managing experience. You've hired and managed freelancers before. You can write a clear deliverable brief, screen applicants, evaluate work. On authorship. Most papers in this program I'm first or senior author. On a subset of work companion qualitative papers, methods pieces, occasional condition-specific applications where you've owned substantial intellectual contribution — first authorship for the right contributor is on the table. We'll be transparent about authorship per paper before work begins, and the conversation is open if you have a specific case you want to make. How to apply Send a proposal that includes: Two peer-reviewed papers you've authored or substantively contributed to. PubMed links. Tell me your specific role on each. A description of how you currently use AI tools in your research work. Be specific — what prompts you run, what you trust the model for, what you don't. One thing you've recently managed at the project level where you coordinated multiple specialists or collaborators. What was it, what was hard, what did you learn? Your rate and availability for the next 90 days. Skip the generic cover-letter language. The proposals that come back with sharp questions, specific examples, and a clear sense of the work get shortlisted within 48 hours. One final note on what this is This is real research. The papers go to journals that matter. The data is real. The findings will be used by regulators, by payers, and by clinicians who recommend digital interventions to patients. The work matters. If you want to test the water with one project before committing, tell me that in your proposal we can structure a smaller engagement to start. Either way, I look forward to reading what you send.
