Co-Founder & CEO - Entrepreneur in Residence

About the role

This is a co-founder partnership with meaningful founder equity, not a salaried executive role. This opportunity is open to repeat entrepreneurs who may already have an early-stage idea they're exploring, or who want to partner with FutureSight to validate, shape, and launch a new venture together.

Responsibilities

• Set the venture's direction and lead its execution
• Partner with our team on early-stage testing, validation, and refinement of the business idea, including prototyping to validate and sell potential solutions, with the readiness to kill ideas that don't hold up before committing to the one that does
• Define the ICP, pricing model, and product positioning for the validated opportunity
• Lead pilots, convert them to paid engagements, and build the go-to-market motion
• Partner with the FutureSight product and engineering team to ship V1 and iterate on user feedback
• Lead the pre-seed and seed raises, supported by FutureSight's network and traction
• Recruit and lead the founding team, and establish the cultural foundation of the company

Requirements

You will 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).

Qualifications

• Previous founding experience at a venture-backed company
• Demonstrated success in B2B AI or B2B SaaS go-to-market, including sales and customer engagement
• Fundraising fluency, with the ability to develop investor narratives and close capital
• Prominent ability to attract, develop, and retain top talent
• Clear-eyed understanding of the risks and demands of co-founding a venture-backed company
• Generalist foundation with solid skills in a key startup discipline (sales, tech, product, design, marketing)
• Relevant domain expertise or industry advantage, with genuine passion for solving challenges in that space

Skills

A rare combination of operator exits, institutional investing, and AI product depth.

Benefits

Pre-seed capital committed by FutureSight for early hires and MVP development, with potential for follow-on funding

Venture building resources, including embedded design, engineering, growth, and fundraising support from day one

Investor and advisor network across vertical AI and early-stage capital markets

A true co-creation model in which you operate as CEO with FutureSight's cross-functional team as your partner
