Technical Co-Founder, AI-Native Advisory Venture

Technical Co-Founder: build an AI-native advisory practice with us.

Are you an experienced builder with the ambition to become an entrepreneur? We are starting a new venture in the technology marketing space: an AI-native consulting and advisory practice built for commercial teams. Not a traditional agency with AI bolted on, but a firm where the AI does the work — running the research, the campaigns and the operational workflows that commercial teams depend on, directed by people who understand the business. We are looking for a Technical Co-Founder to shape the technology, the product and the future of the company. You will combine hands-on engineering with an equity stake and responsibility for the business we build together.

Who is Meja?

We provide growth capital and strategic partnerships to businesses across the Benelux. Our team works closely with entrepreneurs to create value and achieve sustainable growth. For this new venture, we are looking for a technical partner who shares that entrepreneurial ambition and wants to help turn it into a business.

What we are building

Marketing and commercial teams still buy advice and hours. We believe the next generation of advisory firms will deliver outcomes instead: systems that carry out the work end to end, supervised by people who understand the commercial context. We are starting in technology marketing, where the buying journey, the data and the content operation are complex enough for this to make a real difference. The first product, the first customers and the shape of the practice are all still open. That is what you would help define.

Your day-to-day

Work with the founding team and with marketing and commercial leaders to understand their needs and define the first product.
Build the initial AI applications, workflows and integrations, taking responsibility for the technical implementation.
Make architecture decisions and establish how we test, deploy and maintain the product.
Use customer feedback to improve the product and help determine where the venture should focus.
Contribute to business decisions, including priorities, pricing and how we use our resources.
Develop reusable technology and a technical foundation that can support the company's growth.
Help recruit and develop the engineering team as the venture evolves.
