Our platform analyzes product usage signals in real time, recommends the next best actions, and generates highly personalized outreach for CSM teams. The result? Higher revenue retention, predictable expansion, and clear insights leadership can actually act on.

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

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 to reduce risk and increase 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.

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’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 —

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 accounting/finance tools and processes or AI agents/LLMs
