Co-Founder & CEO Opportunity At Foundry
FutureSight is seeking a Co-Founder & CEO to lead Foundry, an AI-Native Recruiting Agency currently in build at FutureSight. This is a co-founder partnership with meaningful founder equity, not a salaried executive role.
Recruiting has run on the same model for decades: firms charge a fixed percentage of a hire's first-year salary for work that is largely manual, sourcing, screening, and outreach done one candidate at a time. That pricing made sense when the work required a person doing it by hand. It doesn't anymore.
Foundry is an AI-native recruiting firm built around a simple idea: use AI agents to handle sourcing, screening, and candidate evaluation, and keep a small human team focused on what still requires a person: building trust with clients and candidates, exercising judgment on close calls, and closing the placement. That shift in who does the work lets us offer clients a fee that's a fraction of what traditional firms charge, without cutting corners on quality.
This is where we believe recruiting is headed. AI-native service firms are starting to emerge and prove the model works, and we're building toward that shift deliberately.
FutureSight is a leading venture builder that co-creates world-class software companies with values-driven entrepreneurs from inception to exit. We are a team of founders, operators and designers with experience successfully bringing software to market at scale.
You'll co-create with a proven studio team, led by John Carbrey (4x entrepreneur, $100M ARR), Krista LaRiviere (3x exited, E&Y Top Women Entrepreneur), Alan Smith (Strategyzer co-founder, $120M in products built), Prathna Ramesh (former MD of Maple Leaf Angels, $275M in follow-on capital), and Johnny Tong (0-to-1 builder, acquired by SAP and Stripe) bring a rare combination of operator exits, institutional investing, and AI product depth.
The Partnership includes founder equity with meaningful ownership from inception, pre-seed capital committed by FutureSight for early hires and MVP development, with potential for follow-on funding, venture building resources, including embedded design, engineering, growth, and fundraising support from day one, investor and advisor network across vertical AI and early-stage capital markets, and a true co-creation model in which you operate as CEO with FutureSight's cross-functional team as your partner.
What you'll own as Co-Founder & CEO includes setting the venture's direction and leading its execution. This includes strategy, customer development, product, capital, and team leadership.
Co-Founder Profile includes previous founding experience at a venture-backed company, demonstrated success in B2B AI or B2B SaaS go-to-market, fundraising fluency, proven ability to attract, develop, and retain top talent, clear-eyed understanding of the risks and demands of co-founding a venture-backed company, and deep domain expertise in recruiting, staffing, or talent acquisition, as a builder operator or agency leader.
To apply, please submit your resume, LinkedIn profile, and a brief note on why this venture aligns with your goals as a founder. FutureSight is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds and experiences.
