Co-Founder & CEO - AI GTM Agents for SMBs

FutureSight
Chicago, IL

FutureSight is seeking an experienced and visionary Founding CEO to lead the launch of a new AI-native SaaS company that automates growth for SMB service businesses.

Today, service operators rely on fragmented tools, manual follow-up, and disconnected marketing efforts — leading to lead leakage, slow response times, poor attribution, and inconsistent bookings. This product replaces that complexity with a vertical-specific system of AI GTM Agents that autonomously manage the full customer lifecycle — from first touch to booked job to repeat business — with clear, measurable ROI.

This is not marketing software, not a CRM, and not an agency. It is a done-with-you / done-for-you AI workflow product, integrated into the operator’s system of record, designed to deliver what operators actually want: more booked jobs, higher retention, stronger local trust, and provable returns on spend.

As Founding CEO, you will

  • Win customers — Run pilots, shape pricing, and validate retention + expansion.
  • Build the product — Work with FutureSight’s product/engineering pod to launch V1.
  • Raise capital — Lead the seed round with our initial investment.
  • Build your team — Hire your founding team and set the cultural foundation.

About FutureSight

FutureSight is a venture studio that co-creates and invests in B2B SaaS and Vertical AI startups alongside exceptional entrepreneurs. We give founders an unfair advantage — pairing hands-on studio support with early capital, thereby reducing risk and increasing the odds of success by 10x.

We’re led by a cross-functional team of builders and investors. Kevin Nguyen and Alan Smith lead venture design and product strategy. Prathna Ramesh applies her experience as a venture investor with capital strategy in every new business. Dennis Ensing mentors our ventures with operational and strategic expertise, Krista LaRiviere brings years of entrepreneurial and marketing experience as a multi-time exited founder, and Anupama Joshi drives founder excellence. John Carbrey (San Francisco), a successful software entrepreneur and people leader, adds deep insight into scaling startups from 0 to 1, having built and exited multiple prior SaaS ventures.

What We Bring

  • Validated problem — You will enter a venture with a proven market need and strong momentum toward building and scaling.
  • Studio bench strength — Designers, engineers, growth marketers, and fundraising pros are embedded from Day 1.
  • Capital commitment — Initial pre-seed funding for early hires and building the MVP with potential for follow-on funding, and access to our investor and advisor network.

What You Bring

  • Founder-level drive — You’re motivated to co-found a new venture as the CEO. With or without us, this is your calling.
  • Startup scrappiness — You know what you’re signing up for. You’re familiar with the scrappiness of owning something from start to finish.
  • Previous founding experience — You have co-founded a product company or B2B SaaS venture, or have been at a venture-backed company.
  • Risk appetite and capacity — Read more on our post on the Entrepreneurial Risk Profile .
  • GTM chops — Proven success in B2B SaaS sales, marketing, and customer engagement.
  • Fundraising fluency — Able to craft investor narratives and close capital; well-networked in fintech and early-stage communities.
  • People leadership — Magnet for top talent; coach and culture carrier.
  • Industry experience — Experience designing and scaling GTM workflows across lead capture, conversion, and retention in B2B SaaS.

What You Can Expect

  • Daily active engagement with our team to: launch initial product, achieve initial market traction and prepare for seed fundraise.
  • Full P/L ownership of the new entity.
  • A significant equity stake in the business.
  • This is a full-time role; we are seeking someone to dedicate themselves full-time and exclusively to building and owning a new SaaS venture.
