We’re applying this to traditional, fragmented industries, working with business owners and private equity firms to help their companies grow. - You’ll work at the intersection of AI, technology, and finance while developing one of the most valuable skills in business: the ability to sell. That means understanding markets, identifying opportunities, building relationships, and turning an initial conversation into a commercial outcome. - I believe this could be a career-defining experience for the right person. Whether you eventually want to build a startup, acquire a company, or work in private equity, you’ll get exposure to how businesses grow and how AI can change the way they operate.

Some coding (incl. vibe coding) skills are a plus Other information: - Location: Anywhere; fully remote but slight preference for US-based candidates - Hours: Part-timeredactedhours), with a schedule agreed around your availability - Compensation: Unpaid or paid depending on your commitment & experience - Development: Direct founder mentorship, regular feedback, and practical experience using AI to solve commercial problems
