Remote Founder Job at Nexus Innovations – Build the Future from Anywhere

We are seeking a visionary Founder to launch and scale Nexus Innovations, a groundbreaking startup poised to disrupt the sustainable tech space. This is a ground-floor opportunity for a hands-on leader to architect a company from zero to one, with complete autonomy and the potential for life-changing equity, all from the comfort of your home office.

About the Role

Mission & Vision

As the Founder, you are the heartbeat of Nexus Innovations. Your primary mission is to transform a proven concept into a thriving, venture-backed company. You will define the product-market fit, build the initial team, and secure the capital necessary to fuel exponential growth. We provide the validated idea, initial market research, and a co-founding support network; you provide the relentless drive, strategic genius, and executional prowess to bring it to life.

Day-to-Day Impact

Your first 90 days will be spent in a deep-dive iteration phase: refining the business model, building a minimum viable product (MVP), and securing your first angel or seed investment. Within the first year, you will hire a core team of 5-10 A-players, achieve product-market fit, and establish a repeatable sales or user acquisition engine. This is not a managerial role; it is a creator’s role, where you will be the chief visionary, chief recruiter, and chief fundraiser all rolled into one.

What You’ll Bring

Core Competencies

• Proven Entrepreneurial Track Record: You have launched, grown, or significantly impacted a startup before. This could be as a founder, co-founder, or an early employee (head of growth, lead engineer) who operated with founder-level responsibility.
• Relentless Resourcefulness: You excel in environments of extreme ambiguity and constraint. You know how to hustle, bootstrap, and create momentum with little to no budget.
• Visionary & Pragmatic Balance: You can paint an inspiring 10-year picture while obsessing over the week’s critical metrics. You are equally comfortable discussing cap tables with investors and wireframes with engineers.
• Exceptional Communication: Your storytelling ability is world-class, whether you’re recruiting a top engineer, pitching a VC, or writing a compelling blog post to attract early users.

Experience & Mindset

• 5+ years of relevant experience in technology, product development, or business operations within a startup or high-growth environment.
• Demonstrated ability to build and mentor small, high-performance teams.
• Deep understanding of startup financing, from SAFE/convertible notes to Series Seed.
• Unwavering resilience and a “founder mentality”—you take full ownership, thrive under pressure, and are motivated by the potential for massive impact.

The Opportunity & Benefits

This is a true founder-level equity position. You will be offered a significant founder’s equity stake (typically 10-20% fully diluted) in exchange for your leadership and execution. We believe in aligning incentives perfectly—your wealth is directly tied to the company’s success.

• Meaningful Equity: A substantial ownership stake that could be worth millions at scale.
• Full Autonomy: You set the strategy, pace, and culture. We provide support, not micromanagement.
• Remote-First Foundation: Build your company with a distributed team from day one. Access a global talent pool and a flexible lifestyle.
• Backing & Network: Gain access to our founding partners’ investor network, advisory board, and operational expertise to de-risk your journey.
• Defining Your Legacy: Have your name on the cap table of a company that aims to make a real dent in the universe.

Compensation & Timeline

To support your immediate focus on building, we offer a competitive founder’s salary of $60,000 – $90,000 USD per year, adjusted for experience and stage. This salary is designed to cover personal expenses during the pre-seed/seed phase. The vast majority of your compensation will be your equity stake. The timeline is aggressive: we aim to close this Founder-in-Residence role within 30 days, with a goal of launching the MVP and beginning fundraising within 90 days of your start date.

How to Move Forward

This is not a traditional job application. If you are a seasoned builder who dreams in cap tables and product roadmaps, we want to hear your vision. Please submit a concise document (PDF or link) that includes: 1) Your resume/CV, 2) A one-page “Founder’s Brief” on Nexus Innovations—this should outline your initial 30/60/90 day plan, your hypothesis for the first key hire, and your first major milestone, and 3) Links to your most relevant past projects or companies. We will review all submissions and invite the top 5 candidates for a series of deep-dive conversations with our founding partners and a select group of our investor advisors.
