Note: This ad is not for a job at Reodor. It's an opportunity to become a co-founder for our portfolio startup Tiny Studios.

We are seeking a CCO/COO to lead the strategic and commercial efforts for Tiny Studios, an innovative SaaS startup transforming the dance studio and instruction industry. With a live product, paying customers, and strong market traction, you’ll play a critical role in shaping the startup's growth, driving revenue, engaging with investors, and leading fundraising efforts to secure the resources needed to scale in a global market. This hands-on role will collaborate closely with our CEO, Mona Berntsen—a globally renowned dancer and entrepreneur with deep industry expertise and a passion for empowering dance professionals worldwide.

About Tiny Studios

Welcome to Tiny Studios, where technology meets creativity to revolutionize the dance studio and instruction industry. Founded by globally recognized dancer Mona Berntsen—whose career includes collaborations with Justin Bieber, Madonna, Coldplay, and Chris Brown—Tiny Studios is inspired by her deep understanding of the unique challenges dance studios face daily.

The platform is designed to handle all aspects of studio management, including scheduling, booking, payments, communication, and business analytics, empowering studio owners and instructors to focus on their art rather than administrative tasks. Backed by venture studio Reodor, Tiny is on a fast track to disrupt a global market, with plans to launch in the US in 2025.

Already in operation with paying customers and significant market interest, Tiny Studios offers a compelling opportunity for a visionary CTO to join the journey and make an immediate impact.

About the role

This is a strategic and operational leadership role at a dynamic seed-stage startup. As CCO/COO, you’ll collaborate closely with the CEO to refine and implement the company’s vision, leveraging your expertise to engage investors, customers, and partners while driving growth, market expansion, and long-term business success.

In this multi-faceted role, you will lead the company’s efforts to raise capital, build relationships with investors, and establish the financial foundation needed for rapid growth. You’ll also be instrumental in driving customer acquisition, shaping revenue models, and the development of strategic partnerships, ensuring the business is well-positioned to scale globally.
