Job description

FutureSight is hiring an experienced and visionary Founding CEO to lead a new B2B SaaS venture transforming how home service businesses capture, book, and retain customers. The U.S. home services market is worth $700B+, fragmented, and underserved by vertical SaaS. Business owners in home services—plumbing, HVAC, landscaping, cleaning, and more—report losing hundreds to thousands of dollars per day from unanswered phones, untracked bookings, and inconsistent follow‑up.

Existing solutions stop at scheduling appointments; they fail to close the loop on customer care, reviews, and upsells. The venture’s AI Call Agent answers every call, books jobs seamlessly, handles objections in real time, and follows up automatically after each service.

As Founding CEO, you will:

• Win customers — Run pilots, shape pricing, and validate retention + expansion
• Build the product — Work with FutureSight’s product/engineering pod to launch V1
• Raise capital — Lead the seed raise with our initial cheque
• Build your team — Hire your founding team and set the cultural foundation

About FutureSight

FutureSight is a venture studio that co‑creates and invests in B2B SaaS and Vertical AI startups alongside exceptional entrepreneurs. We give founders an unfair advantage — pairing hands‑on studio support with early capital, reducing risk and increasing the odds of success by 10x.

We’re led by a cross‑functional team of builders and investors. Kevin Nguyen and Alan Smith lead venture design and product strategy. Prathna Ramesh applies her experience as a venture investor with capital strategy in every new business. Dennis Ensing mentors our ventures with operational and strategic expertise, Krista LaRiviere brings years of entrepreneurial and marketing experience as a multi‑time exited founder, and Anupama Joshi drives founder excellence. John Carbrey (San Francisco), a successful software entrepreneur and people leader, adds deep insight into scaling startups from 0 to 1, having built and exited multiple prior SaaS ventures.

What We Bring

• Validated problem — You will enter a venture with a proven market need and strong momentum toward building and scaling
• Studio bench strength — Designers, engineers, growth marketers, and fundraising pros are embedded from Day 1
• Capital commitment — Initial pre‑seed funding for early hires and building the MVP with potential for follow‑on funding, and access to our investor and advisor network

What You Bring

• Founder‑level drive — You’re motivated to co‑found a new venture as the CEO. With or without us, this is your calling.
• Startup scrappiness — You know what you’re signing up for. You’re familiar with the scrappiness of owning something from start to finish
• Previous founding experience — You have co‑founded a product company or B2B SaaS venture or have been at a venture‑backed company
• Risk appetite and capacity — Read more on our post on the Entrepreneurial Risk Profile
• GTM chops — Proven success in B2B SaaS sales, marketing, and customer engagement
• Fundraising fluency — Able to craft investor narratives and close capital; well‑networked in fintech and early‑stage communities
• People leadership — Magnet for top talent; coach and culture carrier
• Bonus: Exposure to home services, call center, VoiceTech, or conversational AI

What You Can Expect

• Daily active engagement with our team to: launch initial product, achieve initial market traction and prepare for seed fundraise
• Full P/L ownership of the new entity
• A significant equity stake in the business
• This is a full‑time role; we are looking for someone to commit full‑time and exclusively to building and owning a new SaaS venture
