Job description

Position Summary

As an Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR), you’ll work closely with our founders and venture team to validate, build, and launch a new AI-driven venture. This is a rare opportunity to take an idea from 0 to 1 with the resources, mentorship, and capital support of an experienced venture studio behind you.

This role is perfect for a founder-type who loves moving fast, testing ideas, talking to customers, and taking full ownership of turning a concept into a scalable business.

Key Responsibilities

• Work with the venture team to identify and validate high-potential opportunities.
• Drive customer discovery, market research, and competitive analysis.
• Build and test MVPs and prototypes to assess traction.
• Develop business models, go-to-market strategies, and execution plans.
• Lead day-to-day operations of the new concept, with the potential to become CEO if spun out.
• Collaborate with in-house design, product, AI, and growth teams.
• Iterate quickly, pivot when necessary, and scale what works.

What We’re Looking For

• A builder mindset with a proven ability to execute at speed.
• Founder/Operator experience preferred (failed startups are a plus—we value scar tissue).
• Strong intuition for product, markets, and customer problems.
• Experience in AI, SaaS, proptech, consumer tech, or marketplaces is an advantage.
• Data-driven but comfortable moving forward with incomplete information.
• Grit, creativity, and relentless drive to build from scratch.

Why Join Us?

• Be part of an innovative and fast-growing venture studio reimagining the future.
• Opportunity to build a team and become a founding CEO of a spinout.
• Competitive salary, equity upside, and performance-based incentives.
• A chance to grow professionally in a hands-on, entrepreneurial role.
• Work remotely with global reach.

You Should Not Apply If

• You are looking for a corporate 9 to 5 job
• You are political and enjoy gossiping and talking about people behind their backs.
• You are looking for a stable and slow dead-end job
• You do not aim to be one of the best in the world at what you do
