About Us
Fractal Software is a venture studio launching the next generation of vertical SaaS startups. We’re a collective of former founders and operators who have built multiple SaaS start-ups to multi-hundred million and billion dollar valuations. Fractal is currently investing out of a $650M seed fund and backed by investors including 8VC, Bienville, and Menlo Ventures. We believe that all industries deserve best in class, modern software to enhance their businesses and want to partner with entrepreneurs who share the same passion and conviction for these ideas.
The role
We are looking for a Founder & CTO who will launch, build and run the company alongside us. This will be your company to run autonomously, but we’ve built out a program to help give you the best chance of success. We will help you evaluate several diligenced business ideas, introduce you to several talented potential cofounders, and fund you with $1M of seed capital on Day 1. We’ll then give you the right guidance, playbooks and process to build the product and grow the company. You will also join an active community of entrepreneurs in our portfolio who are navigating similar challenges in other industries. This is an opportunity for you to pick the technologies, frameworks, and team that will help you succeed.
Your experience
For our CTO candidates, we are looking for a technical leader who has a deep computer science and software engineering background. You have spent time building and scaling software at tech-focused companies, where you are seen as the go-to technical leader by your peers. You enjoy building and shipping best-in-class software that solves important problems for your customers.
