Founder + Product + Data · Brooklyn, Queens, Mahattan, Staten Island · Part-time

Christopher Manta

I am a startup operator and Chief Operting Officer with a track record of building and scaling consumer brands. I co-founded and succesfully exited K-10+, a pet vitamin and supplement company, where I led operations across supply chain, product development, go-to market execution, brand positioning, and sales and marketing. I currently serve as COO to launch Eugene, an AI-driven pet wellness and supplement company. My focus is translating early-stage ideas into structured, scalable buisinesses by building systems that support growth while maintaining product quality and margin discipline. I bring a practical, execution-first approach to startups--comfortable moving from high-level strategy to day-to-day operations. My experience spans supply chain optimization, vendor navigation, performance marketing, and P&L ownership, with a particular strength in turning fragmented processes into repeatable systems that drive scale. I am interested in connecting with Founders who value strong operational leadership. Secondly, I am looking for a co-founder with an engineer/developer background to build an MVP for a mobile and online home renovation marketplace and lead-generation platform.
