Co-Founder & CEO - AI Content Intelligence for Professional Services

About the role

The Opportunity FutureSight is seeking a Co-Founder & CEO to lead an AI-native content intelligence and publishing venture. This is a co-founder partnership with meaningful founder equity, not a salaried executive role. Orbitwell is an AI-first content workflow that turns a professional's own judgment and stories into a consistent, firm-approved public presence. The platform captures private input through conversation, audio, and dictation, drafts voice-matched content grounded in that person's real expertise, and routes every draft through configurable firm guardrails and human verification before it reaches a ready-to-publish queue. Rather than another point solution for capture, writing, or scheduling, Orbitwell is designed to be the system of record for expert-driven publishing inside professional-services firms. The venture begins with an initial product, 30+ validation interviews, and a working prototype to accelerate iteration and go-to-market. We are now seeking a founder to lead the venture from here. Market context includes over 500,000 US professional-services firms in wealth and legal (33,000 RIAs, 418,000–463,000 law firms), most under 10 people; professional-services AUM/revenue is growing and consolidating (RIA assets under management +22.3% YoY to $176.8T; RIA M&A hit a record 322 deals in 2025, up from 272; law firm employment +1.4% in 2025). The category proving willingness to pay for this workflow, personal/employee advocacy software, is a $0.5B–$2.2B market in 2026, growing at double-digit CAGR through the early 2030s. Generative AI content creation, the underlying technology wave, is a $14.8B market in 2024 projected to reach $80.1B by 2030 (32.5% CAGR). FutureSight is a leading venture builder that co-creates world-class software companies with values-driven entrepreneurs from inception to exit. The team includes founders, operators and designers with experience bringing software to market at scale: John Carbrey (4x entrepreneur, $100M ARR), Krista LaRiviere (3x exited, E&Y Top Women Entrepreneur), Alan Smith (Strategyzer co-founder, $120M in products built), Prathna Ramesh (former MD of Maple Leaf Angels, $275M in follow-on capital), and Johnny Tong (0-to-1 builder, acquired by SAP and Stripe). The partnership offers founder equity with meaningful ownership from inception, pre-seed capital committed by FutureSight for early hires and MVP development with potential for follow-on funding, venture building resources (embedded design, engineering, growth, and fundraising support from day one), investor and advisor network across vertical AI and early-stage capital markets, and a true co-creation model where you operate as CEO with FutureSight’s cross-functional team as your partner.
