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., * 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., As 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 ## Related Videos - [WE Develop the Future: WTF is Next?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1027-we-develop-the-future-wtf-is-next) - [Edit Your Future: Queerverse Radical AI](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/909-edit-your-future-queerverse-radical-ai) - [Creating Industry ready solutions with LLM Models](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/899-creating-industry-ready-solutions-with-llm-models) - [Bringing the power of AI to your application.](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1010-bringing-the-power-of-ai-to-your-application) - [AI is dead, long live AK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1093-ai-is-dead-long-live-ak) - [You are not an AI developer](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1148-you-are-not-an-ai-developer) ## Related Articles - [Navigating the AI Shift](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/629-navigating-the-ai-shift) - [Trustworthy AI Starts at Deployment: 5 Checks Before You Ship](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/753-trustworthy-ai-starts-at-deployment-5-checks-before-you-ship) - [Never delegate the understanding](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/749-never-delegate-the-understanding) - [Stephan Gillich - Bringing AI Everywhere](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/489-stephan-gillich-bringing-ai-everywhere) - [MLOps And AI Driven Development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/82-mlops-and-ai-driven-development) - [How to start an AI project for a good cause and boost your career](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/15-how-to-start-an-ai-project-for-a-good-cause-and-boost-your-career)
