CEO / Business Co-Founder (f/m/d) role at startup FAMILY FLOW

ote | Fulltime | Digital Health (DiGA) About Family Flow Family Flow is a scientifically grounded, trauma-sensitive parenting app that helps parents with their own history of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) manage the moment between a trigger and their reaction to their child — building a personalized 'Flow Plan' (trigger → warning signs → pause → skill → parenting strategy) instead of another generic parenting app. The opportunity The concept is built on more than 20 years of clinical and scientific work on child maltreatment led by Prof. Dr. med. Eva Möhler, Chair of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Saarland University, alongside DFKI researchers Patrick Gebhard and Jan Alexandersson. The idea and clinical content are finalized — what's missing is the team and funding to build and launch the app. We are looking for a CEO / co-founder (fundraising, tech and operations) to turn a validated clinical concept into a real product. Tasks What you will own Company build-up & fundraising Lead incorporation of Family Flow and raise the funding needed for app development (German, French and English versions). Own the path to the German DiGA directory (digital health app reimbursement) and the parallel free-market / B2C launch. Product & delivery Translate the finalized clinical concept and psychotherapeutic material into a software roadmap, in partnership with a tech/development team or subcontractor (e.g. potential partnerships with Pioneo, Pfeffermind or Charamel). Own day-to-day operations, as the current interdisciplinary team (DFKI + Child and Adolescent Psychiatry) is part-time only. Go-to-market Build the launch plan for Germany and France, then wider Europe, including social-media-led B2C acquisition alongside the DiGA pathway. What you bring Core experience Fundraising experience (grants and/or investors) and comfort building a company from an academic/clinical concept. Hands-on operations and project management skills; willingness to work full-time (the current founding team is part-time). Especially valuable Experience with the digital health / DiGA regulatory pathway in Germany. Software/product background, or strong ability to manage external development partners. Interest in child psychiatry, trauma-informed care or parenting technology. Benefits Why join Family Flow A clinically validated concept backed by 20+ years of research and a published evidence base, not an unproven idea. Direct partnership with a University Professor and Chair of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Saarland University. Address a problem estimated to cost society €20 billion in Germany alone (Deutsche Traumafolgekostenstudie), with a clear DiGA reimbursement path. Family Flow welcomes co-founder candidates regardless of gender, age, ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, sexual identity, or any other characteristic. This is a search for the right partner to build the company with, not a conventional hire. Skills: Remote, Directors, Chief Executives
