Soft Goods / Wearables Designer - Patented Sleep Product (Cash and/or Equity)
Company: Win The Sleep LLC
Location: Cincinnati, OH | Onsite or Remote Possible
Posted: Sep 17
We're a funded, IP-backed sleep products startup. Our first product is a patented comfort-critical wearable — textile construction with an embedded hard component — worn overnight, all night, by someone who is asleep and moving.
That last part is the whole design problem. It has to disappear on the body for eight hours or it fails.
We've been through four prototype rounds with a contract manufacturer. None of them cleared the bar. The failure wasn't execution — it was that a manufacturer designs with what's already in their material library. We need someone who approaches this as a design problem: right materials, right construction, right pressure distribution, right thermal behavior.
What You'd Own:
Materials research and sourcing (fabrics, foams, laminates, elastics)
Construction and pattern development
3–4 physical prototype rounds with real overnight wear testing
Manufacturing-ready tech pack
Input on factory selection
What We Bring:
Patent filed (provisional; non-provisional in process)
Four failed prototypes with detailed documentation of exactly what went wrong and why — that's a real head start, not a liability
A founder who wears every version and gives specific, unsentimental feedback
Beta tester pipeline through a clinical practice partner
20 years of consumer business operating experience behind the venture
Who We're Looking For:
Real soft goods depth — cut and sew, pattern making, material behavior under load and over time
Experience with body-worn products where comfort is the product, not a feature (medical wearables, technical apparel, performance gear, orthopedic soft goods)
Comfortable integrating rigid or semi-rigid components into textile systems
Can produce a tech pack a factory can actually build from
Opinionated about materials and willing to argue with us
Quality reference point: premium sleep and wellness brands — Manta Sleep, Ostrichpillow, Bearaby. Not drugstore braces. If your instinct is to reach for the cheapest neoprene that works, we're not a fit.
Compensation:
Milestone-based cash, plus equity for the right person.
We're open to a hybrid structure — reduced cash rate in exchange for a meaningful equity stake in the company, vested. We'd rather have a partner who's invested in whether this thing actually wins than a vendor billing hours. If you've been wanting a piece of something you helped build, this is that. We have other products to follow in the pipeline, all patentable.
Straight cash engagement is also fine if equity isn't your thing. Tell us what you'd want either way.
Application Details
**Must be USA based**
Send the following with the subject line "WTS — [Your Name]":
Portfolio. Link or PDF. We care most about body-worn or comfort-critical work — anything where how it felt mattered more than how it looked.
Answer this in a few sentences: A wearable tests as uncomfortable after four hours of overnight wear. Where do you start, and what do you rule out first?
Your rate structure, and whether a hybrid cash + equity arrangement is of interest. Straight cash is fine too — just tell us which you'd prefer.
Current availability and roughly how much bandwidth you have over the next 3-6 months. Also if you have interest in a longer-term engagement on future product development.
We read every submission as they come in and reply to all of them either way. Full product details shared under NDA. Targeting kickoff ASAP; under 4 weeks max.

Win The Sleep LLC
Win The Sleep is a sleep products company building a portfolio of IP-backed products for people who don't sleep well — a category crowded with cheap solutions and short on well-designed ones.
Our first product is a patented wearable, currently in development. We're genuinely early: patent filed with IP counsel, company formed, prototypes in iteration.
What we're not is a first-timer's side project.
I'm the CEO of a consumer vehicle company that has done over $500 million in lifetime sales, and I've spent 20 years building and operating consumer businesses — product, brand, demand, and the unglamorous operational work behind all of it. Win The Sleep is built to be acquired, and the roadmap is set up accordingly: defensible IP, premium positioning, and a clear category to own.
On the commercial side, we have a fulfillment and e-commerce partnership in progress with an operator who runs real warehouse and distribution infrastructure. Advisory relationships in sleep medicine and orthopedics are being formalized for clinical credibility.
What we don't have — and what we're hiring for — is world-class soft goods design.
Our standard is simple and unforgiving: the product has to disappear on the body for eight hours, or it has failed. We'd rather spend three more months getting the materials right than ship something that gets returned and torches the brand on launch.
We've already proven we won't settle. Four prototype rounds with a contract manufacturer didn't clear the bar, and we walked rather than compromise. We're looking for the person who can get us there — and we're open to making that person a real partner in the outcome.
Wake Up, Undefeated.
