About us
‍
We are an early-stage startup (Pre-Seed completed; Seed funding for scaling sought) in Crypto / AI that aims to monetize scientific research, datasets and other kinds of IP through marketplaces tailored to AI companies that seek to acquire quality data for training. Our platform offers ways to participate in the AI economy without compromising the data, keeping it private (hence PrivateAI). All our co-founders have previously founded and exited crypto startups, including Ambrosus ($250m exit) and our CTO was Team Lead in Fantom ($8B market cap reached).
‍
Requirements for candidate
‍
The ideal candidate will have experience in managing multiple business development and operational processes in an early-stage startup environment from start to finish. Essentially you will be the right hand of the CEO. This individual should also have experience reaching out WITH RESULTS to large number of warm leads, managing people and to be an effective communicator. Be prepared for a chaotic, unpredictable, non-linear environment with unconventional tasks and problems. You need to be a self-starter and able to work in a dynamic, crazy environment of crypto and AI.
‍
As we are an early-stage startup, in the first few months, we expect the Chief of Staff to also perform tasks that would normally be performed by Head of Business Development as well as Head of Fundraising.
‍
Please note this is a remote position (fixed contract), with no office provided. Company is located off-shore.
‍
WE DO NOT OFFER VISA SPONSORSHIP OR RELOCATION ASSISTANCE.
‍
Specific responsibilities:
‍
Identify and Cultivate Relationships: Develop and maintain strong relationships with venture capitalists (VCs), family offices, and investment syndicates. Additionally, experience securing funding from token presales will be of immense value.

Negotiation Expertise: Lead negotiations with potential investors, demonstrating a keen understanding of the fundraising landscape and market dynamics.
Deal Closure: Drive the fundraising process from initiation to completion, ensuring the successful closure of the Seed Round within the targeted $5m.

Community Engagement: Engage with the crypto community by addressing inquiries, providing updates, and strategically boosting the project's visibility to maintain a positive and active presence.
‍
Leveraging of all key online communications resources, such as social media, blogs, events in order to drive business development opportunities
Financial Management: Develop and manage budgets, financial forecasts, and strategies to ensure the project's financial health and sustainability.
We need an ability to be mobile and responsive and never say to any task "this is a job for another person".
Please also note we are an EARLY STAGE STARTUP so the Chief of Staff will need to do the work him/herself, NOT look to hire some people to do it!
