The long-term visionFrom launch partner to clinical leader The goal is to build durable care across the Central Valley and East Bay, not a short-term staffing arrangement. As approvals, referrals, and the team grow, the founding BCBA can help shape clinical culture, hiring, supervision, quality systems, and the experience families receive. The path can lead to a full-time role at $85,000-$105,000. A founding BCBA may also be considered for equity options based on involvement and contribution. Any equity would require company approval and a separate written agreement; no percentage, vesting schedule, valuation, or grant is promised today.
