Entrepreneur In Residence
On-siteAtlanta, Georgia, United States
Job Summary
Partner with an existing Banyan operating company to identify and validate a high-conviction, AI-native product opportunity adjacent to their core business. Stand up a new company from the ground up, covering product, team, go-to-market, and culture, leveraging the partner's domain expertise, source code, data, and customer relationships as a running start. Take the product from zero toward meaningful recurring revenue while building lean without managing a large team. Operate with full accountability for the venture's product, growth, and financial performance, working in close partnership with affiliated leadership and Banyan's central team without inheriting legacy constraints. This role requires zero-to-one experience taking a product to roughly $1M ARR, a hands-on builder mentality, and AI-native thinking for day-one delivery models.
Required Qualifications
- Zero-to-one experience: you've taken a product from $0 to meaningful initial revenue (roughly $1M ARR), not scaled an already-proven product.
- Builder mentality: you are a hands-on engineer who loves creative problem solving and product strategy.
- AI-native thinker: you build AI-first products and AI-first support and delivery models from day one, not AI bolted onto an existing workflow.
- Founder DNA: you operate with urgency, take full ownership of outcomes, and are comfortable with ambiguity and limited resources.
- Product-led: you have deep product instincts and have been hands-on in shaping what gets built, not purely a go-to-market operator.
- Domain fit: you understand, or can quickly absorb, the vertical you're entering.
- Track record: early-stage startup experience (seed to Series A).
