Information on the company
Our client is a company that builds companies. They find inefficient and poorly run businesses whose competitive moats have been eroded by AI and other advances — and then clone and improve them from scratch. Just as cloud computing and the internet created the conditions for VC-backed SaaS startups, and junk bonds allowed for the rise of LBO funds, they believe that the execution speed and abundance of context enabled by LLMs will power a new type of business model. AI means almost every business should change — the company exist to help make that happen.
The company is structured as a collection of business units, each targeting a specific market opportunity, with:
A de-risked, detailed business plan with ambitious and defined goals
A small, elite team of 3–4 people
All necessary capital, expertise, and relationships in place
Founded by a second-time founder (Cambridge triple-first graduate in Physics, exited prior business), the company is a very young, well-funded, and highly ambitious startup backed by a leading VC and high-profile angels (including Charlie Songhurst).
DAY TO DAY…
We are looking for Business Builder to work closely with the founder and your business unit team of 4 to:
Clone, improve, and reimagine an existing business in light of AI and other modern technologies
Take the business from inception to profitability and exit-readiness within 12 months
Build out elements of the the company platform to allow us to scale multiple businesses in parallel

Track and meet ambitious performance targets with the founder’s direct support
Contribute to the scalable venture-building platform to support future units
Drive towards defined benchmarks that unlock performance bonuses and long-term equity
