This co-founder partnership positions the CEO to lead Maestro, an AI-native inventory planning venture for SMB retailers, developed within the FutureSight studio. The role involves defining product strategy, driving customer development through pilot programs, and partnering with the studio's engineering team to build a fully autonomous planning system. Key responsibilities include leading the seed fundraising effort, recruiting the founding team, and establishing the company's culture. The opportunity is appealing due to the significant founder equity, pre-seed capital commitment, and access to a network of experienced operators and investors. It offers a unique chance to solve a critical market problem where traditional planning tools fail, allowing the leader to build a product that fully automates inventory decisions rather than just providing recommendations.
