This AI startup empowers businesses to have their own sovereign AI capabilities running on their own systems, using a fraction of the energy, for a fraction of the cost, without relying on housing sensitive data externally.

The AI engineers have built a workflow management tool that focuses its power to the individual task, rather than running all queries simultaneously like with the US models. This is what requires huge data centres in an incredibly inefficient way.

It has already raised a seed stage above expectations and will hurtle towards Series A soon. It has attracted an impressive customer roster of well known businesses already, but needs to build out a mid-market offering to generate more predictable revenue.

The first sales hire in a business with a unique solution that solves a lot of the challenges around the scalability and profitability of AI. Intrigued?

If not, a few more nuggets about the role and the attraction.

Why would you join?

• Frontier of technology - Play a significant role in building one of the UK's answers to the US juggernauts at a time of concern around data security and US tech dependency.
• Native AI, not a wrapper - This is a business with unique AI capabilities.
• Earning potential - CEOs are still as keen as ever to invest in AI, but now seek to do so in a sustainable way. What a product to take to market!
• Ownership - Build the sales playbook, hire the talent you need, and build out the motion. Autonomy and accountability lies with you.
• Progression - This role should evolve over time with title and monetary progression as the revenue model evolves.
• Proven product - Blue chip businesses have already bought this product, but the business really needs to pivot to mid-market and corporate in order to drive predictable revenue. The product 100% works and value has been proven.
• Investors are queuing up - Investors are taking a key interest.
• Growth story - The business is in the right sector, with the right product at the right time. This could be a £1m > £5m > £10m > journey.
• Equity - Skin. In. The. Game.

I'm interested in talking to anybody who has played a significant role in the growth of seed or Series A businesses. This must be in a tech vendor, and ideally within AI (but would look at other complex/deep/frontier tech).
