Original job description

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are a venture studio. We research and validate ideas in-house, then bring in an Entrepreneur in Residence to turn the strongest of them into real companies. Each venture starts with a clear thesis, a budget and a small team already in place.

As EIR, you lead one venture from early build to a standalone business. You work with a small cross-functional team across product, growth, sales and engineering, test quickly with real customers, form the company, and hand it to a long-term CEO once it is ready to raise.

You are the single accountable owner from start to handover. This is a hands-on operating role, not an advisory one. You push forward when the evidence supports the venture and recommend stopping early when it doesn't.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Build

Take a validated concept and start executing from week one
Lead the product build with a small cross-functional team
Use AI and no-code tools to ship product, research and assets quickly
Set clear owners, deadlines and weekly milestones for every workstream

Validate

Launch an MVP and measure real behaviour: usage, conversion, payment and retention;Run short test-and-learn cycles and drop what the data doesn't support
Build the evidence case for continued investment
Recommend stopping the venture early if traction isn't there

External Relationships

Lead conversations with partners, early customers, suppliers and service providers
Drive early business development and first commercial deals
Manage contractors and specialists who don't report to you directly
Keep leadership and investors informed with regular, concise updates

Company Formation

Set up the legal entity, payments and core operating systems
Put basic finance, legal and reporting processes in place
Recruit the venture's first hires
Document decisions, systems and metrics so the business can run without you

Transition

Help recruit the venture's long-term CEO
Hand over the business cleanly and on schedule
Flag risks early to studio leadership before they cost time or money
Share lessons learned to improve how the studio builds future ventures

SUCCESS METRICS

MVP live with paying or active users within the first 90 days.
Clear traction evidence that supports further investment, or an early, well-reasoned stop recommendation
Consistent weekly delivery across all work streams
Entity, payments and first hires in place on schedule
Long-term CEO hired and handover completed within the agreed timeline MUST-HAVE EXPERIENCE
Built or led a venture from zero as a founder, early operator or EIR
A track record of fast, disciplined execution against a plan
Daily, practical use of AI tools to build, research and ship
Led small cross-functional teams, including contractors and external partners - Made the call to stop or pivot a product when the data required it

CORE COMPETENCIES

Execution

Speed with structure

End-to-end ownership of outcomes

Judgement

Decides on data, not opinion

Comfortable making hard calls early

Leadership & Communication

Leads without formal authority

Clear, proactive written communication

6+ years of experience in startup operations, venture building, general management, or a comparable operating role, ideally spanning more than one company.

Direct, hands-on experience taking at least one company from zero to launch, not just supporting someone else's launch, but owning it.
Strong working knowledge of AI tools and agentic workflows, with a track record of using them to replace team-based work, not just accelerate individual productivity.
Experience designing or operating a structured process for de-risking new initiatives - stage gates, funnel management, or comparable venture-building systems.
Hands-on experience managing execution across multiple work streams, products, or business lines simultaneously without relying on a large team.
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to provide concise, honest assessments of portfolio or business health.
Comfortable operating as an independent contractor, with compensation aligned to scope and impact rather than a traditional salary ladder.

WHAT GREAT LOOKS LIKE

Starts shipping in the first week
Brings evidence, not opinions
Every work stream has an owner and a deadline
Surfaces problems before they grow
Stops a venture early when the data says so
Hands over a business that runs without them

CANDIDATE SNAPSHOT

A former founder or early operator who has taken a product from zero to paying customers - Builds with AI tools every day and ships before polishing
Comfortable leading people they don't directly employ
Wants to build multiple companies, not just one
Motivated by results, not titles

Fully remote. No office, no commute, just you, the operating system, and wherever you do your best work.
This isn't about inheriting an established company. It's about building and continuously evolving the operating system that future ventures will run on.
Core collaboration hours: 9:00 AM–12:00 PM PST, ensuring consistent overlap with the founding team.
Contractor engagement, paid in USD.
Full compensation details will be shared directly with shortlisted candidates.
