Job description

Founding Strategic Advisor – Building a New Category of Foundational AI InfrastructureDeep MM is seeking Founding Strategic Advisors to work directly with the founding team on commercial strategy, evaluate industry applications for Large Event Models, provide product feedback, and make relevant introductions to customers, strategic partners, investors, and industry experts.

• Organization: Deep Market Making, Inc. (Deep MM)
• Location: Remote (United States)
• Commitment: Part-Time | Approximately 2–3 hours per month
• Compensation: Stock/Stock options

The OpportunityArtificial intelligence has created foundational models for language.The next great wave of AI will create foundational models for understanding, anticipating, and responding to real-world events.Deep Market Making is building that technology.We are creating Large Event Models (LEMs): a new class of foundational AI model designed to learn the complex relationships between events, information, decisions, and outcomes—and use that understanding to predict what is likely to happen next.Our first application is capital markets, beginning with corporate credit and fixed income: one of the world's largest and most information-intensive markets, where better anticipation of events and more accurate real-time pricing can create extraordinary economic value.But capital markets are the beginning—not the limit of the technology.Our vision is to establish Large Event Models as a foundational layer of AI infrastructure, with applications across industries and environments where understanding complex events and anticipating what happens next matters.We are looking for a small group of exceptional people to help build it.

About the Role

The RoleWe are seeking experienced founders, operators, investors, executives, and industry leaders to join Deep MM as Founding Strategic Advisors.This is not a traditional advisory role designed around regular meetings, lengthy reports, or generic consulting.We are looking for people who can have an outsized impact.At critical moments, an exceptional advisor can change the trajectory of a company through a single insight, introduction, challenge, or decision. We want advisors who have built important businesses, technologies, teams, markets, or institutions—and who are excited by the opportunity to help shape a company and technology at the earliest stages of what will become a major new category.You will work directly with the founding team, providing strategic perspective across technology, product, market strategy, enterprise adoption, partnerships, capital formation, and company building.The time commitment is intentionally limited. We value leverage over activity.

Responsibilities

• Where You Can Have an Outsized ImpactHelp Shape a New Category of AILarge Event Models represent a new approach to building AI systems capable of understanding and predicting complex, interconnected real-world events.You will help shape how we think about the technology, its applications, its commercial evolution, and the path toward establishing LEMs as foundational AI infrastructure.
• Help Us Win the First MarketOur initial focus is corporate credit and institutional fixed income.These markets provide an ideal proving ground for Large Event Models: they are complex, fragmented, information-intensive, and economically significant. Small improvements in anticipating market events, discovering fair value, and pricing risk can translate directly into substantial economic value.You will help us refine our product strategy, positioning, customer relationships, and path to market leadership.
• Challenge the FoundersWe want advisors who will challenge us.Help us identify blind spots. Question our assumptions. Push us to think bigger when necessary and focus harder when appropriate. Share the lessons you learned from building companies and making difficult decisions.The goal is not agreement. The goal is better decisions.
• Accelerate the CompanyProvide strategic guidance on the decisions that matter most as we build:
• Product-market fit and customer priorities
• Enterprise adoption and institutional sales
• Go-to-market strategy and commercial partnerships
• Fundraising and capital strategy
• Strategic positioning and category creation
• Hiring and organizational development
• Technology and product direction
• Execution, sequencing, and operating priorities
• Open Important DoorsWhere appropriate, help connect Deep MM with people and organizations that can accelerate the company's development, including:
• Institutional customers and market participants
• Strategic partners
• Investors
• Exceptional technical and commercial talent
• Industry leaders and domain experts
• We are not looking for transactional introductions. We are looking for relationships and opportunities that can genuinely move the company forward.

Qualifications

Who We Are Looking ForWe are interested in advisors who have built, scaled, led, invested in, or meaningfully influenced ambitious companies and technologies.You may be:

• A founder who has built and scaled a significant company
• A senior executive who has led major businesses, products, or technology organizations
• An investor with deep experience identifying and supporting transformational companies
• A capital-markets leader who understands institutional workflows and the future of financial infrastructure
• An AI or technology leader who understands what it takes to build and commercialize foundational technology
• A fintech or enterprise software operator who has navigated complex markets and long enterprise sales cycles

Relevant experience in capital markets, fixed income, artificial intelligence, machine learning, enterprise software, or financial infrastructure is highly valuable—but exceptional company-building experience matters just as much.Most importantly, we are looking for people who recognize that the largest opportunities are often visible before the rest of the market fully understands them.

Required Skills

Why Join Deep MMHelp Build Something FoundationalMost companies will build applications on top of existing AI models.Deep MM is building the underlying model.Large Event Models are designed to become a new class of foundational AI system: technology that learns from the relationships between events and helps organizations understand what is happening, what is likely to happen next, and how to respond.Get Involved at the BeginningThere are rare moments when a technology category is being created.This is one of those moments.Deep MM is still early enough that the right people can have a genuine influence on the technology, the company, the strategy, and ultimately the category itself.Start Where the Stakes Are RealWe are beginning in capital markets because the value of better event prediction is immediate and measurable.Corporate credit and fixed income are enormous markets where information is fragmented, liquidity is uneven, pricing is complex, and better intelligence can directly improve outcomes.This gives us a demanding environment in which to build, test, prove, and commercialize the technology.Help Create a New Layer of AI InfrastructureOur ambition is clear.Large Event Models will become a major category of foundational AI infrastructure.Deep MM is building the technology and company that will define that category.The opportunity is to help shape that journey while it is still possible to make a meaningful difference.Have High-Leverage ImpactWe recognize that exceptional people have limited time.This role is designed around leverage rather than hours.A small number of highly valuable interactions each year can be more important to an
