Job description

ThirdDay Ventures is the UK's first dedicated venture partner for Christians - where bold ideas, deep faith, and cutting-edge technology merge. We equip and empower Christian entrepreneurs, technologists, and creatives to build impact-focused technology startups, either for the secular world or faith-communities. With a dedicated suite of programmes, including an incubator, accelerator and venture studio, we're helping faith-driven founders to ideate, scale and grow startups.

With our first venture studio startup in situ - we're excited to bring in a Co-Founder to lead an exciting faith-driven venture.

About The Venture - Hailo

Hailo is the world's first faith-tech platform to revolutionise how church leaders understand and support their congregations, using cutting edge AI to provide a data-driven approach to ministry and hyper-personalised support to believers to create opportunities for human flourishing.

Think of it as a combination of "Perplexity, Amazon and Hubspot for Faith Communities and Churches" - an AI-native platform that helps users navigate their faith journey and life by accessing personalised support, scripture and services, and data-driven insights and AI-driven recommendations for Church Leaders to tailor their sermons, pastoral care and outreach that resonates more deeply with the needs of their people.

In a world where Pastor's are burnt out, and parishioners are desperate to be seen and heard - Hailo's SaaS platform facilitates more empathetic and effective ministry.

Backed by ThirdDay Ventures team, you'll be joining at a critical juncture to shape the product, business, and go-to-market. With a validated concept, early adopters across three continents, existing domain expertise, and a highly resourced team by your side, this is a rare opportunity to found a company at the cutting edge of Faith-technology.

About The Role

We're looking for a Co-Founder to build something big - that will transform lives globally and impact millions of people.

As Co-Founder of Hailo, you'll take this from a validated concept to a venture-scale business - leading vision, product, go-to-market, and fundraising. You’ll be in the driver’s seat from day one, shaping the future of hyper-personalised support for churchgoers.

This role isn’t for everyone, but if you love building from a standing start, thrive in ambiguity, and believe in the power of technology for faith communities, you might be exactly who we’re looking for.

You’ll be supported by our ThirdDay Venture's studio team and dedicated Hailo employees with product, sales and industry specialisms.

Our offer

We don’t just support startups, we build them.

Joining us as Co-Founder means you'll get the full weight of support from our ThirdDay Ventures team;

• Validation: A vetted concept, domain insight, and a head start in a massively growing but underserved market (24.9% CAGR)
• Fundraising Support: We've laid the foundations to get you going - with angel investment already committed and a ready-made pitch deck, we've begun raising our Pre-Seed round
• Founder Equity and Compensation: We believe in generosity and fairness. Post-raise you'll receive a £40,000-50,000 starting salary, as well as Co-Founder level vested equity (amount tbd)
• Expert Team: Hands-on support across product, growth, fundraising, AI/ML, design, legal, hiring, and more
• ️ MVP Build: Access to in-house and partner agency support to outline, execute and build a industry leading product
• Accelerator: Opportunity to join our dedicated 12-month accelerator programme, where you'll gain detailed operational support, mentoring and guidance post-launch
• Strategic Network: Intros to top-tier investors and critical collaboration partners

This is your shot to build a world-changing company with a serious unfair advantage.
