CEO Co-Founder

📋 Description

• • Sisu is a unique, founder-friendly incubator designed to partner with visionary entrepreneurs at the very inception of their journey, often described as 'day minus one.' Our core mission is to empower founders by providing comprehensive support through the critical first twelve to eighteen months of their venture's life. This includes crucial aspects like facilitating ideal co-founder pairings, guiding the development of Minimum Viable Products (MVPs), assisting with strategic fundraising efforts, and offering a broad spectrum of operational and strategic advice to lay a robust foundation for sustainable, long-term success.
• • Founded by Ari Mir, a seasoned entrepreneur with over two decades of invaluable experience, Sisu is deeply rooted in the foundational principles of grit, humility, and an unyielding, relentless drive to conceive and build impactful, game-changing companies. Ari's impressive track record includes the successful establishment of two ventures that have achieved over $100 million in annual revenue and collectively employ more than 1,000 individuals, demonstrating a proven ability to scale businesses to significant global impact.
• • We are actively seeking exceptionally talented, visionary, and highly resourceful business leaders to step into the pivotal role of CEO Co-Founder. This is not a conventional employment opportunity; rather, it is an extraordinary chance to collaborate directly with other outstanding founders, receive direct, hands-on mentorship from Ari himself, and actively work towards the creation and launch of your very own startup.
• • As a CEO Co-Founder within the Sisu program, you will be at the forefront of innovation, tasked with identifying market opportunities, defining product vision, and assembling high-performing teams. You will navigate the complexities of early-stage startup development, from initial concept validation and market research to product-market fit and strategic growth planning. Your role will be instrumental in shaping the company's culture, defining its strategic direction, and ultimately driving its success.
• • The Sisu program is exceptionally selective, admitting only 20 founders annually, who will then be placed into 10 distinct startups. This exclusivity ensures a high caliber of talent and a focused, intensive support system for each venture.
• • We are specifically looking for individuals with a strong Business Operational Focus. This means we need top-tier business strategists and operational experts who are fully prepared and committed to going 'all in' on building a disruptive, category-defining venture from the absolute ground up. You must possess the innate ability to thrive in high-stakes, dynamic environments that inherently demand relentless ambition, unwavering determination, and a proactive, problem-solving mindset.
• • Your Business Acumen and Leadership capabilities must be exceptional. You should excel in critical areas such as product strategy, go-to-market planning, fundraising execution, operational efficiency, and team building. Whether you have a history of building teams from scratch, leading complex business initiatives, or driving significant growth in established organizations, your demonstrated leadership abilities should place you in a league of your own.
• • A profound Entrepreneurial Drive is essential. You must possess the unique ability to identify opportunities where others perceive only insurmountable risks. You are actively and strategically seeking the right partnership, the most effective network, and the most insightful guidance to successfully launch a high-impact company that has the potential for significant market disruption and substantial returns.
• • A strong Collaborative Edge is paramount. You fundamentally understand that true, sustainable success in the startup world requires a delicate and effective balance between individual grit, perseverance, and seamless team synergy. You must be receptive to constructive feedback, thrive on being intellectually challenged, and deeply appreciate direct, unfiltered access to a seasoned entrepreneur who has a proven history of scaling companies to significant, market-defining milestones.
• • If these qualities resonate deeply with your professional aspirations and personal drive, we are eager to connect with you. Sisu is committed to providing the essential tools, invaluable mentorship, and critical resources necessary for you to build something truly extraordinary and achieve unprecedented success.
• • The application process is designed to identify the most promising candidates. It begins with an Initial Screening, a 30-minute phone/video interview with a talent principal, followed by a Founder Interview, a 30-minute phone/video interview with Ari Mir. Upon successful acceptance, you will embark on a 12- to 18-month intensive program where you will work directly and closely with Ari and the dedicated Sisu team to bring your startup vision to life. If you are ready to take this transformative first step, we enthusiastically invite you to apply and share your entrepreneurial ambitions with us.
