Still unsure whether it's a fit? Ask us directly.
You are the CEO. You own the P&L and the day-to-day execution of one company — hiring, customers, pricing, roadmap, the numbers. The studio owns strategy, capital, and pattern recognition across the portfolio, and hands you the systems it has already built.
It is not a general manager role inside someone else's company. One person is accountable for the business, and that person is you.
Yes. Equity and incentives are structured around durable growth rather than a near-term exit, because the companies are built to be held for a long time. The exact structure varies by venture and stage — you can state a salary, equity, or balanced preference in the application and we will be straight with you about what is on the table.
No — that is the point. You step into a venture that already has a defined wedge and evidence of product-market fit, so you are not spending your first year searching for an idea in the dark or standing up back-office infrastructure. If you do have an idea you would rather build, pitch it instead.
Four stages, and none of them is a résumé screen. We are looking for operating experience — you have owned a number, not just a function — plus grit and the intent to run one company well for years rather than flipping it.
We review every application ourselves. If there is a fit with a venture that is ready for an operator, a partner reaches out within two weeks.
The studio is based in Austin, Texas and is remote-friendly across the US. Ventures operate wherever their customers are, so the right location depends on the company you would be running.
People who have carried a number: run a P&L, owned revenue, or scaled a function into a business. Sector experience in healthcare and care operations, vertical SaaS, consumer subscription, fintech operations, or field services maps most directly onto what we build.
Pedigree matters far less than evidence that you finish things.
