About the role

FutureSight is seeking a Co‑Founder & CEO to lead an AI‑native content intelligence and publishing venture called Orbitwell. Orbitwell captures a professional’s judgment and stories via conversation, audio, and dictation, drafts voice‑matched content grounded in that expertise, and routes each draft through configurable firm guardrails and human verification before it reaches a ready‑to‑publish queue. It is positioned as 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: over 500,000 US professional‑services firms in wealth and legal (≈33,000 RIAs, 418k‑463k law firms), most under 10 people. RIA AUM grew +22.3% YoY to $176.8 T; RIA M&A hit a record 322 deals in 2025 (up from 272); law firm employment +1.4% in 2025. The personal/employee advocacy software market is $0.5B–$2.2B in 2026, growing double‑digit CAGR through the early 2030s. Generative AI content creation market is $14.8B 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. The team includes 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 follow‑on capital), and Johnny Tong (0‑to‑1 builder, acquired by SAP and Stripe). As a co‑founder you would receive meaningful founder equity from inception, pre‑seed capital committed by FutureSight for early hires and MVP development, venture‑building resources (embedded design, engineering, growth, fundraising support), and access to an investor and advisor network across vertical AI and early‑stage capital markets.

Responsibilities

  • Define the ICP wedge (creators vs. teams vs. agencies), pricing model, and product positioning.
  • Expand from internal design partners to external users, validate retention and willingness to pay, and build the go‑to‑market motion through creator‑led distribution.
  • Partner with FutureSight’s product and engineering team to ship V1 and iterate on user feedback.
  • Lead the seed raise, supported by FutureSight’s network and traction.
  • 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.

Benefits

  • Meaningful founder equity from inception.
  • Pre‑seed capital committed by FutureSight for early hires and MVP development.
  • 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.
  • True co‑creation model: operate as CEO with FutureSight’s cross‑functional team as your partner.
