We're Not Hiring Employees.
We're Finding Founders.
8 companies. 8 CEO/Co-Founder roles. One program. Find the venture that matches your skills and ambition.
Open Positions
Choose the venture that aligns with your expertise and ambition.
Not A Traditional Job.
This is an Entrepreneur-in-Residence program with real skin in the game. We provide the concept, the initial capital, the operational infrastructure (FounderyOS), and the mentorship. You provide the execution.
The selected CEO will be given 90 days to land the first paying customer. You will own a significant equity stake in the company you build. After proving traction, your company receives seed funding to scale.
Your Own Company
You aren't managing someone else's division. You are building an independent entity where you serve as the Chief Executive.
What You'll Do
You will be the tip of the spear. We don't want planners; we want operators.
Close the First Sale
You are the revenue engine. Your #1 job is to close the first paying customer within 90 days. No excuses.
Drive Sales & Own Revenue
You own the entire sales pipeline. Prospect, pitch, negotiate, and close. You ARE the sales team.
Build the Revenue Machine
Turn ad-hoc sales wins into a repeatable, scalable revenue generation engine with documented playbooks.
Hire to Fulfill Revenue
Once you've closed the deals, recruit and manage your initial delivery pod to ensure you meet your revenue commitments.
Hit Revenue Milestones
Achieve aggressive ARR milestones to unlock seed funding and new growth gates.
Report on the Pipeline
Maintain a rigorous weekly cadence reporting on sales pipeline, closed-won deals, and P&L to the board.
Compensation & Ownership
Transparent from day one. You earn what you build, and you own what you scale.
Phase 1: Residency
First 90 DaysLiving expenses covered with a modest stipend. The focus is entirely on execution, not salary. You are building YOUR company, and every dollar matters.
Phase 2: Post-Customer
After TractionOnce you secure paying customers, a fixed base salary begins drawn directly from company revenue. As the business scales, your salary scales with it.
Equity Stake
Long-Term WealthYou receive a significant founding equity stake in the company. You are a co-founder, not an employee. As the company grows, your equity grows in real value.
Scale Upside
$30K → $90K → $1MAs the business hits systematic MRR milestones, you unlock new tiers of compensation and seed funding injections to fuel aggressive growth.
Who This IS For
- Operators over Planners: You bias toward action and execution, not waiting for perfect market conditions.
- Battle-Tested: You've built something before — even if it failed. You know what it takes.
- Adaptable: You are highly comfortable with ambiguity and willing to figure things out on the fly.
- Triple Threat: You are a leader who can sell, build, and manage simultaneously.
- Wealth Builders: You see a startup as a vehicle to create generational wealth, not just a monthly paycheck.
- Committed: Willing to commit fully to the program and be present (Princeton, NJ area).
⚠️ Who This is NOT For
- If you're looking for a comfortable 9-to-5 with guaranteed corporate benefits, this isn't it.
- If you need a six-figure salary from Day 1, look elsewhere.
- If you want someone else to tell you what to do every day, this won't work.
- If you're not willing to do sales, customer calls, and the unglamorous grunt work yourself, don't apply.
- If you see this as "just a job" rather than a life-changing entrepreneurial opportunity, we are not aligned.
- If you cannot handle the pressure of a 90-day deadline to secure your first paying customer.
