Build an AI business for consumer brands with me

Who you would build with

We are already building AI systems and automation inside our consumer brand. We are looking for a founding sales partner to help turn that work into a business serving other direct-to-consumer brands.

Our technical partner has taught software engineers at Apple and Google.

Together, we bring technical expertise, business direction and operating design: choosing which customer problems are worth solving, shaping an offer that makes commercial sense, and bringing together the people and systems to deliver it profitably. Our own brand gives us somewhere to test and learn as we build.

You would bring the ability and appetite to open doors, win clients and build relationships that last. You enjoy the hunt, take pride in following through, and keep new opportunities coming while nurturing the ones already in motion.

Working trial first. Long-term equity to agree afterwards. This is a founding opportunity with shared risk and no funded salary at present. We would agree the trial’s scope, compensation, expenses and review point before any work begins.

What you would own

Find new business. Identify the right brands, reach decision-makers and start useful conversations. Keep prospecting as existing opportunities move forward, with clear next steps for the people already in your pipeline.

Win paid pilots and clients. Understand the buyer’s problem, bring us in for technical input, shape a proposal together and close work we can deliver well.

Nurture relationships and bring back what you learn. Stay in touch, follow through, earn repeat business and referrals, and tell us what buyers want, question or decline. Your feedback would help shape what we offer next.

How we would build the business

We start with buyers: what matters to them, what they will pay to improve, and how we can deliver that improvement profitably. The first step is a focused pilot with an agreed scope and a measurable outcome. External customers will tell us whether the work we are testing internally is valuable to them too.

We would own the solution, implementation and delivery. For each pilot, we would name the person responsible for delivery, agree the scope and success measures, and make sure you have the support to sell it confidently.

You would own new business and the commercial relationship, with a real voice in shaping the offer and direction. Together we would agree what we can promise, at what price, before a deal is signed.

The kind of company we want to build

What we work on and who we work with matter more than simply working harder. That means being thoughtful about the opportunities we pursue and the people we build with, then following through on what we choose.

Culture matters as much as the systems. We want to take ownership, speak openly, challenge ideas and keep our promises. We should be able to raise a problem early, change our minds when customers teach us something, and enjoy working together.

We would shape that culture as partners, using the right mix of people, software and AI to make the business work well.

You enjoy finding a way in

You have personally found and won business. You can tell us how you reached the buyer, what made the conversation useful and why they bought.

You are inventive about starting conversations. That could mean a short personalised Loom showing a specific opportunity, thoughtful lumpy mail with something useful inside, a small demonstration, an introduction through a trusted partner, or something we have not thought of.

You choose the approach to suit the buyer, notice what earns a response and improve as you go. We would agree any campaign spending before it is committed.

A working trial first

Before starting, we would check that our expectations of a future partnership and equity are broadly compatible. We would then agree one target customer, an initial offer, time commitment, trial economics and a review date.

The work would be practical: create opportunities, move conversations forward, aim to win paid pilots and bring back specific customer feedback. We would review the quality of the pipeline, sales progress, follow-through and how well we work together.

You would also be testing us: whether we provide a compelling offer, respond with useful technical input and deliver on our commitments.

If the trial shows a fit, we would agree the ongoing role and final equity terms. The trial agreement would cover what happens if we do not continue, including how any deals you originated are handled.

Something worth doing for years

We would like this to become a partnership that lasts for years because the work is enjoyable, the relationships are good and the business works financially.

You would have room to own and develop the sales side as we grow, with us responsible for building and delivering what we sell.
