Tracium enables companies to centralize material data, standardize it at the source, and make it reusable across operational, technical, and reporting workflows.\nStarting from the maritime and heavy‑industry supply chain, Tracium supports suppliers in managing technical documentation, material attributes, and product data in a structured and scalable way. This foundation allows companies to reduce manual work, improve data reliability, and progressively unlock advanced use cases such as automated reporting, cross‑customer data sharing, and regulatory‑ready outputs as new requirements emerge.\nTracium is developed within a venture‑building environment and is backed by strong industrial insight, with the ambition to scale cross‑industry as a core data infrastructure layer for material‑intensive sectors.\nTasks\nAs Entrepreneur in Residence & CEO, you will:\n\nDrive the venture from early‑stage product development to successful go‑to‑market execution\nValidate the business model and lead the first customer acquisition efforts\nBuild and lead a high‑performing founding team\nManage relationships with shipyards, owners, and tech/service partners\nCollaborate with venture building experts to develop financial models, pitch decks, and fundraising strategies\nRaise the remaining part of the seed round (50% already committed)\nRepresent the company to investors and key ecosystem stakeholders\n\nRequirements\n\nStrong entrepreneurial mindset and hands‑on attitude\nExperience in early‑stage start‑ups, ideally as a founder or first hire\nProven ability to raise funds from angel investors and VCs, and to craft compelling, investor‑ready narratives\n10+ years of professional experience\nDeep domain exposure to maritime and/or heavy industry\nExcellent communication, leadership, and decision‑making skills\nFluency in English and Italian\nWillingness to re‑locate to Italy and work on‑site (optional Genova or Trieste)\n\nBenefits\n\nFounder‑level equity in a validated, high‑potential venture\nAccess to Maritime Ventures’ entire ecosystem of strategic partners, industry mentors, and investors\nThe opportunity to lead a start‑up that is transforming one of the world’s oldest industries with cutting‑edge technology\nHands‑on venture building support from Bridgemaker and Cariplo Factory\nDirect collaboration with CDP Venture Capital and major maritime industry players\nA chance to shape the future of intelligent boating and lifecycle management\n\nIf you are ready to launch and lead a venture that could redefine digital operations in the maritime world, we would love to hear from you.\nApply now and let’s build TRACIUM together.
