  • Option to transition into a founder/CEO role for validated ideas

Who You Are

  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity, taking ownership, and moving fast
  • Strong business acumen with a knack for spotting market gaps and validating hypotheses
  • Excellent communicator — able to craft compelling narratives for investors, partners, and teams
  • [Optional: Prior experience in deep-tech, AI/ML, climate tech, or relevant sectors]

What You'll Gain

  • Opportunity to build from zero with support from an experienced leadership team
  • Access to our investor and expert network
