Job Details

Who Are We:
AI is the new electricity: Just as electricity transformed numerous industries starting 100 years ago, AI is now poised to do the same. AI Fund is an early stage venture firm founded by Dr. Andrew Ng in 2017. Our portfolio companies utilize AI technology and applications to improve processes and efficiency. The AI Fund team combines their experiences as AI pioneers, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, investors, and operators. We are backed by a $176 million-dollar fund from top-tier VC firms.

Together, let’s build great companies that will move humanity forward.

Why Partner With AI Fund:
We’ve been there.  We’ve founded and scaled successful companies ourselves, and we know that creating meaningful startups is really hard.  Many entrepreneurs toil with ideas for years.  Many spend time building something without the foresight of limiting factors that could have been easily dismissed upfront.  Accomplished execs often teeter between a desire to start a company and creating something great versus taking a job that is less fulfilling.  If only someone could help with taking the risk out of turning an idea into reality and accelerate the company building process, more people would be inspired to start a company.

Coming up with great ideas, sussing them out, assembling great teams, and helping raise capital is what we do.  We shorten a process that can take years down to months.  We make sure you are going after the right market, are fully validated, and are surrounded by great teammates. Lastly, we make sure you see the world through the lens of a data scientist and machine learning expert, which is the perspective any meaningful company in the future must have. 

But we also know that the process is not about us.  It’s about great Founders and empowering them to do great things.

About BluePrint AI:
This is a unique opportunity to lead an AI-driven company that is poised to transform key industries, from construction to manufacturing, aerospace, and beyond. With an initial focus on construction, imagine a world where construction teams no longer waste hours sifting through a large set of project drawings to plan project execution, to properly estimate project quantities and to check before project units start if the information within drawing is accurate. This process consumes time, resources and often results in inaccurate outcomes.. Instead, they can simply "chat" with their engineering drawings, receiving precise answers on materials, dimensions, and quantities improving both project estimations as well as project execution, directly on-site. Our AI-powered application accelerates productivity, minimizes errors, and reduces the massive losses that plague the industry daily.

What sets us apart is our partnership with one of the largest infrastructure construction companies in the world. Together, we have direct access to proprietary data and a real-world testing environment that will help us shape and refine this transformative technology. As the FIR of this venture, you will not only lead a cutting-edge AI startup but will also have a strategic advantage—working hand-in-hand with an industry giant to co-create a solution that addresses deep-rooted pain points across the global construction sector.

While we are initially focused on revolutionizing the use of engineering drawings in construction, this project has far-reaching potential. The venture will expand into industries that rely on engineering drawings and 3D models—such as manufacturing, infrastructure, aerospace, and automotive. This is an unparalleled opportunity to lead a company at the forefront of AI-driven innovation across some of the world’s largest and most influential industries.

What You Will be Doing

    • Strategic Leadership: Develop and implement company vision and growth strategy, starting with the construction market. Collaborate with AI Fund and the corporate partner to launch and scale the new company. 
    • Prototype Development: Lead the creation of a viable AI-driven solution for on-site construction management, focused on revolutionizing how engineering drawings and project data are accessed and interpreted in construction and beyond.
    • Financial Strategy and Fundraising: Prepare a pre-seed investable pitch deck, secure funding, and build a financial forecast.

What You Must Bring

    • Entrepreneurial Leadership: Demonstrated experience as a Co-founder or early stage CEO, with a strong experience in strategic planning, business model innovation, and securing early-stage venture funding
    • Stakeholder Management: Strong negotiation and relationship-building skills, with the ability to engage with a range of stakeholders from technical partners to investors. 
    • Leadership and Team Building: Experience assembling and leading teams through the early stages of a start-up, with a focus on rapid development cycles and agile methodologies. 
    • Proven GTM Expertise: Extensive experience in developing and implementing successful GTM strategies. 
    • Communication Skills: Exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, capable of building relationships with internal and external stakeholders. 
    • Adaptability: Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, evolving environment, making informed decisions under uncertainty. 
At AI Fund, we are committed to providing an environment of mutual respect where equal employment opportunities are available to all applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, pregnancy (including childbirth, lactation and related medical conditions), national origin, age, physical and mental disability, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, genetic information (including characteristics and testing), military and veteran status, and any other characteristic protected by applicable law. AI Fund believes that diversity and inclusion among our employees is critical to our success as a company, and we seek to recruit, develop and retain the most talented people from a diverse candidate pool. Selection for employment is decided on the basis of qualifications, merit, and business need.
