Operators at work inside a venture team

Join the ecosystem

Four ways in. They are not the same, so we keep them separate.

Whether you want a role, a programme place, a venture assignment or an advisory relationship, start in the right place.

Module 01

Open team roles

Studio and Labs roles across product, engineering, design, growth and operations. You will work on live ventures from your first week. There are no open roles published right now — send a speculative note and we will keep it on file.

Inside a venture

Operator seats carry real responsibility, not an advisory title.

Roles are published only when they are open · nothing speculative is listed as a vacancy

Module 03

Venture operator opportunities

For experienced operators ready to run a function — or a whole venture — inside a company we are building. These are seats with real accountability, not advisory roles.

Typical seats

  • Venture lead
  • Commercial lead
  • Operations lead

What we look for

  • Has run the function
  • Comfortable with ambiguity
  • Stays for the hard part

Module 04

Experts, mentors & advisers

Specialists who can spend a few hours a month with a venture or a fellow. Advisers are listed separately from the team, and only with consent.

  • 01Regulation
  • 02Payments
  • 03Logistics
  • 04Health
  • 05Capital

Introduce yourself

Tell us what you want to be responsible for.

We keep speculative notes on file and come back when a role, a seat or a cohort matches what you described.

Advisers are listed separately from the team, and only with consent. Nothing you send is shared outside the studio without your permission.

Optional. LinkedIn, GitHub, a site — whatever shows the work.
One person reads every note.
