The founder seat
You know the work. Run the company.
We are looking for people who have run operations in one of these industries, know where the money leaks, and want to run one. You would be running that company, not joining 70X7 as an employee.
What the seat is
Your board. Your team. Your name on the door.
Chief executive of a 70X7 company. We build the product; you run the business, and the moment you have your own team, the roles we were filling move to them.
You are not waiting for an idea. The company already exists, the industry has already been through the tests, and the closed loop is already underneath it. What is missing is the person who knows the buyer.
The process, and where it stops
Every stage ends in a condition, not a date.
If the condition isn't met, we stop. And so can you.
Prove the pain
You and one of us go into the field. Operator interviews, site visits, real workflow observation. No production code is written in this stage, deliberately.
GateOperators confirm they would pay to make this stop.
Prove the build
The runtime is pointed at the workflow. One process, instrumented end to end, in one real operator's environment.
GateSigned pilots with deployment dates.
Prove the company
Convert pilots to paying customers, prove the motion repeats, and raise the round with you leading it.
GatePaying customers, a repeatable sale, and a company that no longer needs us to run it.
What we ask
Full time from the moment stage two starts, and the willingness to stop your own idea at a gate you agreed to in advance. Having failed before doesn't count against you here. We just want to hear exactly what happened and what you took from it.
Straight answers
Am I a founder or a hire?
A founder. You run the company and you own part of it.
Do you already have the idea?
Yes. It has been through the tests on this site. If you think it is wrong, tell us at stage one. That is what stage one is for.
What happens if it fails?
We stop at a gate we both agreed to in advance, and we say so. Stopping is the process working.
Where are the terms?
Each company's terms are in its own documents, and you see the actual structure before any conversation about terms.
Bolder ideas.A brighter tomorrow.
