Entrepreneur / Co-Founder to Lead an Established Food Brand (Equity Opportunity)

Salary Unpaid
Equity To be negotiated

Sunny Life Co. is a Copenhagen-based food brand creating organic sunflower seed butter products designed as a nutritious, allergen-friendly alternative to traditional nut butters.

Over the past few years, the company has built a strong operational foundation and is now positioned for growth with the right operator leading sales and distribution.


What’s already in place

  • Developed product line and recipes

  • Established suppliers and production processes

  • Regulatory compliance (DVFA)

  • Brand identity and packaging

  • Website and digital presence

  • Early partnerships and a developing wholesale pipeline


The business is operationally profitable and ready to scale.

The company was built by a solo founder and is now transitioning to an operator-led structure. The founder will be relocating internationally and is therefore looking for an entrepreneurial operator or co-founder to take over day-to-day leadership of the company and drive the next phase of growth.

This is an opportunity for someone who wants to run and grow their own consumer brand while starting from an existing foundation rather than building from scratch.


Responsibilities

  • Lead day-to-day operations of the business

  • Expand wholesale and retail distribution

  • Build partnerships and new sales channels

  • Oversee production and supply chain

  • Develop and execute the company’s growth strategy


Ownership & Structure

The collaboration structure is flexible and designed to align incentives for long-term growth.

The ideal scenario would involve the new operator taking majority ownership of the company while the founder retains a minority stake and remains involved as an advisor.

The founder will support the transition, provide access to all suppliers, partners, and network connections, and remain available for strategic guidance remotely.

This is an opportunity for an entrepreneurial person to take ownership of a real brand and grow it into a successful consumer product company.

Working at
Sunny Life Co.

Sunny Life is a Copenhagen-based startup shaking up the spread game with sunflower seed butters in flavors you won’t find anywhere else. Most spreads are boring, processed, or nut-only — we’re here to make them fun, nutritious, and inclusive without losing sight of ethics or taste. Everything is made in small batches, with a sustainable, allergen-friendly base and a Scandinavian twist. As a small but growing team, you’ll work closely with the founder and get a behind-the-scenes look at how a business is built from the ground up. It’s hands-on, fast-moving, and a chance to make a real impact (plus free seed butter 🌻).
