Co-Founder & CEO - AI E-commerce Operations System
About the role
The Opportunity FutureSight is seeking a Co-Founder & CEO to lead Omnex, an AI-native operating system for multi-channel ecommerce sellers, currently in build at our studio. This is a co-founder partnership with meaningful founder equity, not a salaried executive role.
Market Context
Today's e-commerce businesses run on fragmented software and manual coordination. Sellers operating across Amazon, Shopify, eBay, Walmart, and other channels constantly switch between dashboards, reconcile conflicting data, and make hundreds of operational decisions every day across pricing, inventory, advertising, fulfillment, and customer support. The opportunity sits within a global ecommerce market exceeding $1 trillion in annual GMV, where millions of sellers increasingly operate across multiple channels but lack any unified operational intelligence layer.

You'll co-create with a proven studio team, 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).
