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

About the role

FutureSight is seeking a Co‑Founder & CEO to lead an AI‑native content intelligence and publishing venture called Orbitwell. This is a co‑founder partnership with meaningful founder equity, not a salaried executive role. Orbitwell is an AI‑first content workflow that captures a professional’s 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. It is designed to be the system of record for expert‑driven publishing inside professional‑services firms. The venture already has an initial product, 30+ validation interviews, and a working prototype to accelerate iteration and go‑to‑market. 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 for personal/employee advocacy software is a $0.5B–$2.2B market in 2026, growing at double‑digit CAGR through the early 2030s, while generative AI content creation is a $14.8B market in 2024 projected to reach $80.1B by 2030 (32.5% CAGR). FutureSight is a venture builder that co‑creates world‑class software companies with values‑driven entrepreneurs from inception to exit, led by 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 follow‑on funding, venture‑building resources (embedded design, engineering, growth, and fundraising support from day one), and access to an investor and advisor network across vertical AI and early‑stage capital markets, operating as a true co‑creation model where you serve as CEO with FutureSight’s cross‑functional team as your partner.

Responsibilities

• Strategy — Define the ICP wedge (creators vs. teams vs. agencies), pricing model, and product positioning
• Customer Development — Expand from internal design partners to external users (creators, teams, agencies), validate retention and willingness to pay, and build the go‑to‑market motion through creator‑led distribution
• Product — Partner with the FutureSight product and engineering team to ship V1 and iterate on user feedback
• Capital — Lead the seed raise, supported by FutureSight's network and traction
• Team — Recruit and lead the founding team, and establish the cultural foundation of the company

Requirements

• Previous founding experience at a venture‑backed company
• Demonstrated success in B2B SaaS go‑to‑market, including sales and customer engagement
• Fundraising fluency, with the ability to develop investor narratives and close capital
• Proven ability to attract, develop, and retain top talent
• Clear‑eyed understanding of the risks and demands of co‑founding a venture‑backed company
• Direct exposure to the creator economy, marketing tech, social platforms, or knowledge work tooling, with familiarity in AI agents/LLMs
