About the Venture
We're looking for a Founder / CEO to lead COREO from venture studio build through spin out and scale. COREO solves a critical, unsolved problem. Enterprises can find SMEs but they struggle to book meetings with the real decision-maker and convert intent into revenue.
COREO combines AI agents + human sales orchestration to:
- Detect real-world and digital SME signals
- Identify true decision-makers
- Trigger compliant, timely, multi-channel outreach
- Route meetings to the best human agent (field, agency, call centre)
- Govern the flow from quote → contract → activation
This is a chance to build a category-defining B2B platform at the intersection of AI, sales infrastructure, and compliance with real customers, pilots, and revenue pathways already in motion.
About the Role
As CEO, you'll own vision, traction, and execution. You08217;ll be the voice of the customer, the driver of product-market fit, and the architect of our go-to-market strategy. You'll lead conversations with early enterprise clients, sales agencies, and advisors while shaping the broader strategy and culture of the company.
Our offer
- Co-found a company with Founders Factory's team of IPO-exited founders and entrepreneurs to develop a new venture
- Access to an expert team through our 6 month Venture Studio and accelerator programme
- Access seed-stage capital plus hands-on support from an experienced venture-building team
- A dedicated studio budget (including the founder stipend, specialist resource and infrastructure budget)
- A validated concept and intellectual property
As Founder / CEO for COREO, you will:
Venture Leadership & Strategy
- Own the end-to-end vision, strategy, and execution of COREO from spin-out to scale
- Translate the current solution hypothesis into a commercially robust, scalable business. Define ICPs, pricing, GTM strategy, and expansion roadmap (Italy → wider Europe)
Product & Market Execution
- Lead product development alongside Founders Factory venture builders, designers, and engineers
- Prioritise features that drive meetings booked, conversion, and revenue, not vanity metrics
- Ensure the platform is enterprise-grade: compliant, auditable, and partner-ready
Commercial & GTM
- Work directly with enterprise customers, agencies, and channel partners
- Run pilots (starting with Fastweb + Vodafone), convert them into long-term contracts
- Shape COREO's evolution from SaaS → outcome-aligned, AI-powered sales services
Team & Company Building
- Build and lead the founding team post-spin-out
- Set the culture: fast, commercial, accountable, and deeply customer-led
- Fundraise with Founders Factory support when the business is ready
You're likely someone who:
- Has founded, scaled, or held a senior leadership role in a B2B SaaS, sales tech, marketplace, or services-enabled software business
- Is deeply commercial comfortable owning revenue, pipelines, and enterprise relationships
- Understands complex sales motions (multi-stakeholder, partner-led, regulated environments)
- Is excited by AI as an orchestration layer, not just automation
- Thrives in ambiguity and enjoys turning messy problems into executable systems
- Is hands-on: you build, sell, test, iterate — not just present decks
Bonus points if you have:
- Experience in telco, energy, financial services, payments, or SME-focused products
- Familiarity with European / Italian SME markets or regulated outreach environments
- Built or operated alongside agencies, call centres, or distributed sales networks
