Position Summary
As an Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR), you’ll work closely with our founders and venture team to validate, build, and launch a new AI-driven venture. This is a rare opportunity to take an idea from 0 to 1 with the resources, mentorship, and capital support of an experienced venture studio behind you. This role is perfect for a founder-type who loves moving fast, testing ideas, talking to customers, and taking full ownership of turning a concept into a scalable business.
Responsibilities
* Work with the venture team to identify and validate high-potential opportunities.
* Drive customer discovery, market research, and competitive analysis.
* Build and test MVPs and prototypes to assess traction.
* Develop business models, go-to-market strategies, and execution plans.
* Lead day-to-day operations of the new concept, with the potential to become CEO if spun out.
* Collaborate with in-house design, product, AI, and growth teams.
* Iterate quickly, pivot when necessary, and scale what works.
What We’re Looking For
* A builder mindset with a proven ability to execute at speed.
* Founder/Operator experience preferred (failed startups are a plus—we value scar tissue).
* Strong intuition for product, markets, and customer problems.
* Experience in AI, SaaS, proptech, consumer tech, or marketplaces is an advantage.
* Data-driven but comfortable moving forward with incomplete information.
* Grit, creativity, and relentless drive to build from scratch.
Why Join Us
* Be part of an innovative and fast-growing venture studio reimagining the future.
* Opportunity to build a team and become a founding CEO of a spinout.
* Competitive salary, equity upside, and performance-based incentives.
* A chance to grow professionally in a hands-on, entrepreneurial role.
* Work remotely with global reach.

* You are political and enjoy gossiping and talking about people behind their backs.
