We're looking for a CEO to build and scale an industrial software company from day one, in partnership with our corporate partner, a leading manufacturer of trailers, truck bodies, and parts.
This is a rare opportunity to lead a venture that starts with :
- A real industry problem with immediate, measurable value
- A committed enterprise customer base
- Capital from tier-one VCs (with flexibility to bring your own backers)
- Full founder equity and support from the UP.Labs platform
Why Build With UP.Labs
What You’ll Build
You’ll lead one of two vertical AI startups (based on final match and interest), each of which is already in motion. There will be an ‘in-residence’ component where you will help shape the opportunity with the ‘problem-hunting’ team as you transition into the CEO role.
Your Role
You’ll serve as founding CEO—setting the direction, building the team, and owning outcomes. This is a hands-on role for someone who can go from zero to scale with urgency, clarity, and grit.
