Seeking AI-Driven CTO & Co-Founder ? Build the Best Vertical AI Event Planning Agent (Up to 25% Equity, Bootstrapped)

We believe the future isn?t SaaS?it?s agentic. Corporate event planning is a $95B+ market in the U.S., projected to grow to $511B by 2030, with NYC alone expected to hit $77B annually. We see a massive opportunity to build the fastest, smartest AI event planning agent?one that transforms how companies plan and execute high-impact events.

We?re a bootstrapped startup with real traction?we?ve run events, built a marketplace of venues and vendors, and learned firsthand where AI can create the biggest impact. **Now, we?re ready to go all in on AI.**This is where you come in. As CTO & Co-Founder, you?ll own the AI strategy, architecture, and execution from the ground up.

Why This Is a Unique Opportunity

  • AI from Day One: You won?t be tweaking an existing product?you?ll define, build, and scale the AI vision from scratch.
  • Bootstrapped & All In: No outside funding yet?this is for someone who?s excited to build with full ownership and massive upside potential.
  • Real-World Traction: We?ve already validated demand through events and our venue/vendor marketplace?now we?re ready to layer in AI.
  • Massive Market: The corporate event space is growing fast, and no one has built the AI-first agent to own it.
  • Equity: Up to 25% ownership?we?re looking for a true co-founder, not just a CTO.

AI & Machine Learning Expert:

  • Deep experience in LLMs, autonomous AI agents, automation, and AI-driven workflows.
  • Ability to strategize, architect, and execute an AI-first product vision.
  • Experience building AI-powered recommendation engines, workflow automation, or intelligent assistants.

Technical Leadership (Hands-On):

  • This is a hands-on role?you?ll architect, build, iterate, and disrupt fast.
  • Lead and mentor mid-to-senior engineers while setting the technical direction.
  • Stay ahead of AI breakthroughs and continuously refine our agent?s intelligence and capabilities.

Visionary Thinker & Strategist:

  • You don?t just build AI?you think deeply about how it transforms industries.
  • You want to build something that changes the game?and your life in the process.

Startup Mentality:

  • Comfortable with bootstrapping, moving fast, and wearing multiple hats.
  • Thrives in a high-speed, high-stakes environment where execution is everything.
  • Motivated by big exits, financial freedom, and building something truly groundbreaking.

Who We Are

Experienced Founding Team

  • CEO: Two successful exits and investment from Shark Tank.
  • COO: Closed $1B+ in B2B contracts at enterprise scale.
  • Team of 8: Covering product, sales, marketing, finance?so you can go all in on AI & tech.

Tech Team:

  • Full-Stack Engineer (Ex-Meta) ? strong technical foundation already in place.
  • Front-End Developer ? excellent UI/UX implementation.

Massive Market Opportunity

  • NYC corporate events projected to hit $77B annually by 2030.
  • U.S. corporate event market growing from $95B to $511B within this decade.

Big Exit Potential

  • Targeting a $200M+ exit in 3?4 years.
