Full Job Description
StartupOS is building toward the vision of the “one-person unicorn” — a future where human and AI employees work seamlessly together to build and scale companies. We are developing an AI-native operating system that enables companies to deploy and manage networks of intelligent agents operating within a shared context layer, allowing them to coordinate and execute across business functions. StartupOS is early, ambitious, and fast-moving, with leadership and team members from companies including Airbnb, Adobe, Clari, Box, and Intuit. We operate using a “pod” model — small, focused teams aligned to specific market opportunities, built to move quickly and deliver meaningful outcomes. This role reports directly to [Ben Sardella](https://www.linkedin.com/in/bensardella/). ### The Role StartupOS is hiring its first team of Account Executives to help build the company’s early go-to-market engine around an initial wedge product focused on venture capital and portfolio company workflows. This is not a traditional AE role. You will help define: * how we sell * how we position the platform * what resonates with buyers * and how we scale revenue from the ground up The initial motion is highly relationship-driven and centered around selling into: * venture capital firms * family offices * investor ecosystems * portfolio support organizations The platform is highly flexible and configurable, allowing customers to deploy AI-native workflows tailored to their operating model and portfolio needs. We are looking for someone who can open doors quickly, navigate ambiguity, and translate emerging AI capabilities into clear business value for sophisticated buyers. ### Why This Role Matters We believe the next generation of companies will operate with AI workforces embedded across every function. StartupOS is building the system that makes that possible. This role is an opportunity to help define not only the company’s revenue engine — but the category itself. ### What You’ll Do * Build a
