We operate inside an integrated flywheel that includes: Affiliate Takeover — a global conference brand at the center of the affiliate industry, attracting top brands and high-level talent Info business — education programs that take affiliates from 0→1 and 1→10, and serve as a direct hiring pipeline for proven operators These businesses reinforce each other by design: The conference drives attention, trust, and deal flow Education develops and filters talent Scalers selects the best deals and the best talent — and scales them aggressively Scalers is the core execution engine of this ecosystem and the primary revenue driver. We currently work with some of the largest and most respected brands in the space, including Golden Hippo and Mindvalley. This role requires operational maturity at that level.
