Role Description

You will act as Founder & CEO (or Co-Founder) of the new startup, with full ownership of vision and execution, supported by our studio team with the structure, tools, and execution power to turn your vision into a venture-ready company. In this role, you will lead all aspects of launching and scaling innovative ventures, from ideation and market research to business model development and strategic implementation. You will collaborate with stakeholders, establish partnerships, and drive business operations while ensuring strong growth and market presence. The role demands hands-on leadership and active contributions to strategic vision, sales initiatives, and team building.

• Can commit full-time (or near full-time during the build phase).

• Ability to work independently in a remote environment and manage cross-functional teams.
