Founding Product Leader

Eico — training a model built for company creation · 10 employees · $30M raised

Remote — Continental US (NYC or SF preferred)Full-time · Remote$250K – $350K base + 0.5%–5% founding equity

About the role

Eico believes the next generation of AI systems should be measured by what they can create in markets. Eico is training a model built for company creation and revenue generation — systems that find demand, acquire customers, deliver products and services, and turn capital into revenue, with every step verified in the real world. Founded 2026, 10 employees, $30M raised, backed by top VCs.

We're looking for a Founding Product Leader to take ownership of Acoco — an autonomous company builder — from early beta to a real, funded business. This is a high-autonomy, high-ownership role ideal for a senior PM or failed founder who thrives in ambiguity and wants to shape a brand-new category of AI product from the ground up. You are the product team, not a PM who hires PMs and delegates.

The company is building a small, elite technical team to train, evaluate, and deploy agent systems that can survive contact with real markets — looking for researchers who can ship, engineers who can think from first principles, and founding technical leaders.

Remote, continental US — NYC or SF preferred, shared office space available in NYC. Open to visa transfers (OPT, H1B); no new sponsorship.

What you will own

Own end-to-end product direction for Acoco — defining what to build, why, and for whom based on real user data from hundreds of beta testers
Drive consumer go-to-market: understand users, segment them, and make the product experience delightful end-to-end
Pitch investors and help close the company's funding round alongside the founders
Source and close early partnerships and BD deals that expand distribution and revenue
Work hands-on in the weeds daily — you are the product team

Requirements

Must have5+ years of product management or leadership experience, ideally at AI or consumer tech companies, with 0-to-1 product ownership

Must haveHas personally taken a product from 0 to 1 — owned roadmap, shipped features, driven early users. Can be ex-founder or founding PM experience

Must haveInvestor-ready presence — articulate and persuasive enough to represent the company in front of VCs and partners

Must haveGTM and/or fundraising exposure — pitched VCs, closed partnerships, or owned P&L at an early-stage company

Must haveDeep AI product fluency — understands AI agents, harness vs. model limitations, and can make data-driven consumer product decisions in AI

Must haveConsumer product sense — can segment users, define delightful end-to-end experiences, and has strong opinions on product direction

Must haveBased in continental US — NYC or SF preferred, remote OK

Must haveNo new visa sponsorships — existing visa transfer possible if significant time remaining

Nice to haveFailed-founder archetype — was a PM at a strong company (Google, DeepMind), left to start something, raised some money or didn't, and it didn't work out

Nice to haveSenior PM from a top AI/consumer company at Staff/Group PM level (DeepMind, OpenAI, or similar)

Nice to haveTechnical background sufficient to collaborate with engineers on architecture decisions

Not a fitPure Big Tech career PM with no startup or founding experience — needs to have operated in ambiguity, not just managed features at scale

Not a fitAI experience is only superficial — using Cursor or Claude occasionally does not qualify as real AI product ownership

Not a fitEnterprise/B2B SaaS, web3 (unless clearly top-tier), travel/marketplace ops, or media/entertainment background

We interview honestly against this list — if you meet most of the “Must have” rows, apply.
