FutureSight

<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.
As Founding CEO, you will<ul><li>

What We Bring<ul><li>
Validated problem &mdash; You will enter a venture with a proven market need and strong momentum toward building and scaling.</li><li>
Studio bench strength &mdash; Designers, engineers, growth marketers, and fundraising pros are embedded from Day 1</li><li>
