Job description

FutureSight is hiring an experienced and visionary Founding CEO for a B2B WealthTech advisor AI copilot. The new venture is revolutionizing how financial advisors process information to deliver proactive, personalized guidance at scale. Targeting small to mid-sized wealth management firms, our solution enables advisors to deliver better client experiences, boost retention, and accelerate AUM.

Wealth management is approaching a critical inflection point with $70T intergenerational wealth transfer underway and a projected shortage of 100,000+ advisors by 2034. Today’s advisors are overwhelmed by fragmented tools, nonstop headlines, and the pressure to deliver high-touch service across hundreds of clients. Weli acts as a second brain for advisors — surfacing insights, anticipating client needs, and streamlining engagement.

Work has already begun in the studio. The idea has been validated through customer interviews, and pilot conversations are in motion.

As Founding CEO, you will:

• Lead the roadmap — Own customer discovery, refine the wedge, and translate insights into a focused GTM plan
• Build the product — Work with FutureSight’s product/engineering pod to launch V1
• Win customers — Run pilots, shape pricing, and validate retention + expansion
• Raise capital — Lead the seed raise with our support, backed by real traction
• Build your team — Hire your founding team and set the cultural foundation
