Our portfolio companies use AI technology to build applications across numerous industry sectors. The AI Fund team combines their experiences as AI pioneers, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, investors, and operators. We are backed by a $370 million dollar fund from top-tier global corporations and VC firms. Our purpose is to build AI companies that move humanity forward.

We welcome candidates who possess a growth mindset, strong analytical skills and ability to handle ambiguity. You will be responsible for driving projects forward until either they are falsified (and ended) or smoothly transitioned to a newly found company.

Drive rapid engineering efforts to build full-stack applications using GenAI tools, enabling deep exploration of product ideas, user experiences, and technical feasibility

Carry out ideation and early product validation: You will be responsible for working with our team to quickly validate or falsify specific ideas. This may involve exploring candidate business concepts, prototyping, and customer interview work
