full description: hiring.focal.vc --- focal leads inception rounds in exceptional technical founders - often before the company is obvious, before consensus forms, before datasets show a trace. We're now hiring a founding technical leader to build the software, data, and AI systems that help us see earlier, decide better, act faster, and compound what we learn across every opportunity and portfolio company. This is NOT an internal AI tools role. This IS a founder role. You own the proprietary intelligence layer - the system that shapes how we source, decide, support, learn, and execute. We're looking for someone we'd back as a technical founder, but whose obsession is building the machine behind many companies rather than just one.
