• Recruit, lead, and develop the early engineering, data, and technical product team.
• Contribute to product positioning, pricing, commercial strategy, partnerships, fundraising, and long‑term company development.
• Participate in technical due diligence, investor conversations, fundraising strategy, and articulation of Forequence’s technological advantage.
