Co-Founder & CEO - AI Customer Success

<div>FutureSight is seeking an experienced and visionary Founding CEO to lead the launch of a new AI-native loan covenant monitoring and compliance platform for mid-market borrowers.
CFOs and controllers are stuck managing covenant compliance through brittle spreadsheets and manual reporting, translating real-time ERP data into rigid bank formats under constant risk of technical default. At the same time, banks and credit funds waste enormous analyst time chasing data and validating calculations instead of managing risk.
We&rsquo;re building a borrower-first compliance layer that sits between accounting systems and loan agreements. The platform automatically translates ERP data into lender-specific covenant logic, generates bank-ready compliance certificates, and surfaces early breach risk &mdash; without changing bank systems.
This is an opportunity to build a category-defining AI platform in a $2B+ market, redefining how mid-market borrowers manage credit compliance.
As Founding CEO, you will<ul><li>
Win customers &mdash; Run pilots, shape pricing, and validate retention + expansion.</li><li>
Build the product &mdash; Work with FutureSight&rsquo;s product/engineering pod to launch V1.</li><li>
Raise capital &mdash; Lead the seed round with our initial investment.</li><li>
Build your team &mdash; Hire your founding team and set the cultural foundation.</li></ul>

Co-Founder & CEO - AI for Credit and Finance

<div>FutureSight is seeking an experienced and visionary Founding CEO to lead the launch of a new AI-native reverse logistics orchestration platform. Reverse logistics &mdash; everything that happens after a sale &mdash; has become one of the largest and least controlled cost centers in modern commerce. Returns, warranties, exchanges, and recoveries are unavoidable, high-volume workflows, yet they are still managed through fragmented tools, spreadsheets, and manual judgment.
Operations, finance, and customer teams spend enormous effort enforcing policy, chasing evidence, routing returns, and reconciling outcomes &mdash; often with little visibility into where value is lost or when cash will actually be recovered. The result is margin leakage, long cycle times, and growing operational drag in a workflow that continues to scale.
We are building an AI-first orchestration layer that sits between customers, fulfillment networks, and finance systems. The platform enforces policy at intake, captures evidence at the source, determines the optimal path for each return, and tracks outcomes through to financial closure &mdash; without replacing existing ERPs, WMSs, or commerce platforms.
This is an opportunity to build c infrastructure in a $700B+ global market, shaping how modern organizations control cost, risk, and recovered value after the sale.
As Founding CEO, you will<ul><li>
Win customers &mdash; Run pilots, shape pricing, and validate retention + expansion.</li><li>

Co-Founder & CEO - AI Reverse Logistics

<div>FutureSight is seeking an experienced, visionary Founding CEO to lead the launch of a new AI Sales platform explicitly designed for wholesale distributor sales reps. 
Industrial wholesale distributors serving the HVAC, electrical, and plumbing markets face a perfect storm: experienced sales reps are retiring with decades of product knowledge, causing 6-12 months of productivity loss per retirement, while manual quoting can take hours to days when speed determines who wins deals. Distributors turn down 80% of RFPs due to capacity constraints, struggling to manage 100,000+ SKU catalogues and hire staff fast enough. This $2B TAM is growing at 25-30% annually with no dominant player. 
 
The solution is an AI assistant that serves the complete distributor sales workflow, including inside sales, outside sales, commercial quoting, and counter sales. It transforms hours into seconds through real-time quote generation, automates RFQ processing with ERP integration, processes contractor takeoffs into accurate quotes, provides point-of-sale AI for counter staff, captures institutional expertise in the system, and delivers real-time cross-sell intelligence as a unified all-in-one platform for the complete front-office sales workflow.
