The OpportunityFutureSight is seeking an applied AI builder to co-found and lead the technical direction of a new B2B AI venture from the ground up. This is a co-founder partnership with founder-level equity and founder-level authority, not a salaried executive role.
We are not looking for someone who manages engineers from a distance or adds AI language to a traditional CTO resume. We are looking for someone who can take a vague problem, frame it clearly, design the right system, and turn it into something customers actually use and trust. If you've gone from ambiguity to working product before - and you want to do it again with the backing of an experienced venture building team - this is the opportunity.
This is a full-time, exclusive commitment to building and owning a single B2B AI venture from the ground up.
The Partnership- Founder-level equity with meaningful ownership from inception, aligned across funding rounds
- Founder-level authority, including co-decision rights on product, technology, hiring, fundraising, and strategy
- Pre-seed capital committed by FutureSight for early hires and MVP development, with potential for follow-on funding
- A proven process and playbook for taking ventures from 0 to 1, informed by our team's prior experience and mistakes
- Venture building and scaling resources, including embedded design, engineering, growth, and fundraising support from day one
- Investor and advisor network across B2B AI and early-stage capital markets
- A true co-creation model in which you operate as CTO with FutureSight's cross-functional team as your partner - building alongside you.
What you'll ownAs Co-Founder & CTO, you will set the venture's technical direction and lead its execution. This is a co-founder role, not a CTO hire.
- Technical Direction - Own problem framing, architecture, system design, and product judgment from day one, translating rough product intent into structure, context, and specs that both humans and AI systems can execute against
- Build - Use modern tools and frontier models to move fast without sacrificing quality or maintainability, designing agentic systems with first-principles thinking and knowing when orchestration adds genuine leverage versus when simplicity is the better call
- Customer & Market - Be the primary technical voice in early customer conversations, understanding real workflows and shaping the right product rather than just shipping quickly
- Traction Before Scale - Prove there is something worth scaling before thinking about scaling it, focusing on traction first and team-building second
- Capital - Contribute to fundraising, from investor conversations to due diligence
- Team - Recruit and grow a technical team when the time is right, and establish the cultural foundation of the company
Co-Founder Profile- Proven track record of shipping AI products to real users under real-world constraints - not research, experiments, or prototypes
- Deep practical experience with frontier models, LLM-based systems, and agentic architectures, with strong system design instincts and a bias for simplicity and maintainability
- Strong translation layer skills - able to turn messy product intent into clear structure, constraints, and specs that both humans and AI systems can act on
- Close to the customer, comfortable in customer conversations, and able to let real workflows shape what you build
- Rigorous about verification - feedback loops, evaluation, and systems that can be trusted
- Prior experience as a technical co-founder or early engineering leader, with fundraising experience a strong plus
- Founder at heart - energized by ambiguity, able to go far alone, and ready to commit fully
