Our client is a venture studio seeking a founding CTO for a new company they are launching.
The new venture aims to disrupt the building industry by connecting supply and demand.
This venture is already significantly de-risked: they have validated market demand with 40+ experts and customers, completed technical feasibility studies, and are actively developing real-world use cases with early adopters.
As Co-Founder & CTO, you will have full ownership of the company's growth and success. You'll define and execute the product vision, build and inspire a high-caliber team, guide product direction, lead engineering efforts, and drive fundraising.

What can you expect?

• A significant equity stake in the venture and operational freedom to define and execute your strategic vision.
• A venture already capitalized with a Pre-Seed. The Venture Studio also intends to lead the Seed, and reserves ample capital to participate in future fundraising rounds.
• A collaborative co-founder throughout the journey. You'll have direct access to their internal network, and we'll take care of early administrative hurdles so you can focus on building the company and hitting your milestones.

Must Have Skills:
