Founding Partner — GTM, Growth & Operations

Quorumz | Human Intelligence Network (HiNet)

Stage: Pre-Seed

Compensation: Equity-based founding position

Role: Founding Partner / Business Co-Founder

AI is becoming one of humanity's most valuable assets. Yet the intelligence we develop through our knowledge, experience, creativity, and interactions is increasingly concentrated within a handful of centralized platforms.

At Quorumz, we're building an alternative.

HiNet (Human Intelligence Network) is a decentralized network of personally owned AI models. Every individual can develop an iCore — a private, continuously learning intelligence that belongs to them, evolves with their knowledge and experience, and collaborates with other intelligences without surrendering ownership or control.

Our vision extends beyond software. iCore Prime is conceived as a dedicated personal intelligence hardware platform, accompanied by a wearable counterpart, making individually owned intelligence a persistent and natural part of everyday life.

Our ambition is to create an entirely new intelligence economy: human-owned, decentralized, collaborative, and aligned with the people who create its value.

We're looking for an exceptional founding partner to help transform this vision into a product people love, a growing ecosystem, and a globally significant company.

Quorumz is a pre-seed venture, with its initial technological foundations and research direction underway.

We're looking for someone who has already built from zero to one — someone who has taken a company or product from an idea through market validation, initial traction, fundraising, and the foundations of scalable growth.

This is not an executive role in an established organization. It's an opportunity to build a company from its earliest stage, with substantial responsibility, ownership, and influence over its direction.

You'll partner closely with the technical cofounder, who leads technology, architecture, engineering, and research.

Product vision, strategy, and user experience will be shared responsibilities. You'll bring market understanding, user insights, and commercial priorities into product development.

Your primary leadership responsibility will be everything required to build and scale the business: go-to-market strategy, marketing, growth, business development, fundraising, partnerships, and company operations.

We're looking for a hands-on entrepreneur, not someone waiting for a team or a budget to execute.

• Own Quorumz's GTM strategy, from initial market selection and positioning through launch and scalable distribution.
• Identify and validate early adopter segments, compelling use cases, and market entry opportunities.
• Build Quorumz's brand, narrative, market presence, and early community.
• Develop and execute user acquisition, activation, engagement, retention, and referral strategies.
• Experiment rapidly to discover repeatable growth channels and establish product-market fit.
• Create a coherent commercial and distribution strategy spanning software, hardware, and the broader intelligence network.
• Translate technically sophisticated concepts into compelling propositions for users, customers, partners, and investors.
  

• Take a leading role in fundraising strategy, investor outreach, investor relationships, and financing execution alongside the technical cofounder.
• Develop the business plan, commercial milestones, financial forecasts, and fundraising narrative.
• Identify and secure strategic partnerships that accelerate product development, adoption, distribution, and network growth.
• Explore partnerships with AI platforms, hardware manufacturers, wearable technology companies, research institutions, and relevant technology ecosystems.
• Validate business and monetization models across personal intelligence, organizational intelligence, and network services.
• Originate and drive early commercial opportunities.
  

• Help establish the company from the ground up, including its operating model, priorities, processes, and organizational structure.
• Own business operations, planning, resource allocation, and execution.
• Recruit and build the early commercial and operational teams as the company grows.
• Develop relationships with service providers, manufacturing partners, distribution partners, and other key stakeholders.
• Establish clear milestones, accountability, and measurable business outcomes.
• Prepare the company operationally and commercially for subsequent funding rounds and scaling.
  

Working in close partnership with the technical cofounder:

• Jointly shape product vision, strategy, priorities, and roadmap.
• Translate user needs and market opportunities into product decisions.
• Develop intuitive experiences that make decentralized personal intelligence accessible to mainstream users.
• Guide user research, onboarding, customer discovery, and product-market fit validation.
• Contribute to the product strategy connecting personal AI software, iCore Prime hardware, and wearable interfaces.
• Ensure technological innovation translates into compelling user value and commercially viable products.
  

1. Demonstrated 0→1 company-building experience.

This is our most important requirement.

You have personally played a leading role in building at least one venture or product from inception to meaningful market traction.

2. Previous CEO / COO / CMO experience with successful fundraising

You have previously served as a CEO, COO, or equivalent founding executive, with meaningful responsibility for company strategy and operations.

You have hands-on experience raising capital for early-stage technology ventures, including investor outreach, pitching, due diligence, negotiations, and closing financing rounds.

3. Proven GTM, marketing, and growth execution

You have personally developed and executed go-to-market strategies, launched products, acquired early customers or users, and built effective distribution channels.

4. Business development and operational leadership

You have experience developing strategic partnerships, commercial relationships, and the operational infrastructure required to build an early-stage company.

5. Strong product intuition and technical fluency

You understand the product development process and can collaborate effectively with a highly technical founding team.

• Hardware product development and commercialization
• Experience bringing hardware-based technology products from concept or prototype toward manufacturing, distribution, and market adoption.
• Familiarity with hardware development cycles, suppliers, manufacturing partnerships, supply chains, certifications, pricing, and hardware economics would be especially valuable.
• Wearables and consumer devices. Experience in wearable technology, connected devices, edge AI, or human-computer interfaces is a significant advantage.
• We are particularly interested in candidates who understand the unique challenges of combining hardware, software, user experience, and recurring digital services into a unified product offering.
• AI and emerging technology ecosystem. Experience with AI products, decentralized systems, consumer technology, or products creating entirely new market categories.
• Community and ecosystem building. Experience building developer ecosystems, engaged user communities, marketplace dynamics, or network-effect-driven businesses.
  

• You're a founder at heart.
• You've built from zero before, know how difficult it is, and are excited to do it again.
• You can think strategically about an emerging industry while remaining personally involved in the day-to-day work of launching, selling, recruiting, partnering, and building.
• You're equally comfortable presenting to investors, interviewing potential customers, running a growth experiment, negotiating a strategic partnership, or helping refine a product experience.
• You believe AI's future should empower individuals rather than make them dependent on a handful of centralized intelligence providers.
  

Your mission will be to establish the foundations for Quorumz's product-market fit, growth, and financing:

1. Market validation: Identify and validate the highest-potential initial audiences, use cases, and opportunities.
2. GTM execution: Establish positioning, early acquisition channels, product launch strategy, and community development.
3. Early traction: Drive measurable adoption, engagement, retention, and initial commercial validation.
4. Fundraising: Co-lead the company's pre-seed fundraising efforts and establish a clear financing strategy for subsequent growth.
5. Product-market fit: Work closely with the technical cofounder to align product development with real-world user demand.
6. Strategic partnerships: Develop relationships across AI, hardware, wearables, distribution, and relevant commercial ecosystems.
7. Company building: Establish the operational, financial, and organizational foundations for scaling.
   

We're not building another AI assistant on top of a centralized platform.

We're developing a fundamentally different model for how intelligence is created, owned, developed, and shared — combining personal AI, decentralized networks, dedicated hardware, and wearable technology.

The technological foundation is taking shape. The opportunity now is to bring it to the world.

This is a chance to join at the formative stage, work alongside a technical cofounder, and take genuine founding ownership of building a globally significant technology company.

We're looking for someone who has already built from zero to one — and wants to do it again, this time with the ambition to redefine the relationship between people and artificial intelligence.
