We have a job opportunity to share from a GEM Diamond member, Stackpoint Ventures….

Position Overview

They are seeking an entrepreneurial, hands-on, and collaborative VP of Product to play a critical role in their company creation process. This person will partner with startup CEOs and studio teammates across design, engineering, marketing, business development, and finance to drive product-market fit, commercial traction, and escape velocity.

This is an excellent opportunity for those passionate about hands-on building (this is and always will be an IC role), product discovery, startup creation, and working in a close-knit team of skilled operators who are deeply committed to their craft and to each other. It also offers the chance to gain significant startup equity while diversifying risk, as all team members own equity in each company we build.

Responsibilities

  • CEO Partnership – Build a trust-based, productive relationship with startup CEOs (focusing on one company at a time) and become their go-to partner throughout the launch, discovery, and build phases.
  • New Venture Ideation & Diligence – Conduct primary research and due diligence to help identify, vet, and launch new ventures, for which you will then lead product efforts during incubation.
  • 0-1 Product Leadership – Work side by side with the co-founder/CEO and studio teammates to: Understand user needs, define and ship the MVP, orient the business model toward healthy economics, drive commercial traction, enable successful partnerships and fundraising, lay the foundation for a multi-year value-creation roadmap, and above all, ensure relentless momentum towards our target outcomes
  • Team Building – Assist startup CEOs in recruiting their full-time tech teams as part of our goal to transition companies to full independence from studio resources within 9–12 months of launch.
  • Process Optimization – Improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and repeatability of our company creation process through tooling, playbook development, and process refinement.
