We are looking for a Founder-in-Residence (EiR) to help shape the future of professional discovery. At Same, we believe the "vital connection" shouldn't be left to chance. You will work directly with the founding team to explore new market opportunities, lead strategic projects, and build the "Radar" that every founder needs.
Tasks
* Identify and validate new community-led growth opportunities.
* Spearhead partnerships with startup accelerators and VC firms to integrate Same into their ecosystems.
* Act as a key "Connection Facilitator," using the app to bridge gaps between mentors, advisors, and investors.
* Provide strategic feedback on our AI-Powered Matching Algorithm to ensure it solves the deepest "founder needs".
Requirements
* Proven experience as a founder or early employee at a high-growth startup.
* A "hacker" mindset—you love building systems and analyzing community traffic.
* Strong "AI literacy" and comfort working with LLM-driven products.
* Deeply networked with a passion for solving the "broken" state of professional events.
Benefits
* Direct impact on a product used by thousands of founders.
* Flexible, remote-first work environment.
* Access to an elite network of "Matches" and "Action Deck" early features.
* Competitive equity package and a "slow burn" lean startup culture.
We don't need a CV. We want to see how you use the App.
1. Create Profile on joinsame .com with your Linkedin PDF! :)
2. Include your Profile link in the Application. This way we can connect in the App.
3. Bonus: Include one sentence about a feature you think is missing from current networking apps.
Same is the professional networking radar for the modern ecosystem.
We are building the antidote to traditional networking. Unlike legacy platforms where you scroll through endless directories of static profiles, Same uses intelligent AI matching to instantly surface the people you absolutely need to meet.
Our platform cuts through the noise of large events and communities by analyzing compatibility across three dimensions:
* Location Intelligence: Connecting you with people in your city, hometown, or travel destinations.
* Professional Synergy: Matching "What you can offer" directly with "What others are looking for".
* Personal Interests: Ensuring you connect on a human level, from shared values to hobbies.
We are moving away from the "collecting contacts" model of the past and moving toward a daily, curated Action Deck of meaningful opportunities. We are currently in a high-velocity build phase, establishing local hubs in key cities around the world.
