A 3-question intake, two partner calls, and a paid work-sample exercise. Average decision in ~10 days.
You bring the operator edge. We bring the thesis, the cap table, the capital, and a 14-person bench. Join as CEO or technical co-founder on day zero of a Cyberonium-built company.
A 3-question intake, two partner calls, and a paid work-sample exercise. Average decision in ~10 days.
We pair your domain edge with one of the open in-studio seats. Either side can walk, no pressure.
Paid sprint with the operating bench. You ship product, build the company narrative, and test the hand-shake with the team.
Cap-table signed, capital wired, you take the keys. Operating bench rolls off over the next 9 months.
Between 8 and 22 percent of common stock, vested over four years with a one-year cliff. The exact number depends on the stage of the venture when you join, whether you're CEO or technical co-founder, and how much risk has been retired before you take the keys.
You're paid $180 – 240K annualized while you and the operating bench validate the thesis in market, ship a working prototype, and pressure-test the working relationship. If either side decides it's not a fit at the end of the sprint, you walk with the salary already paid and no equity claw-back.
Yes, through our external-founder track instead — apply via the "Founder · external" path in the member portal. The co-founder track specifically pairs operators with our internal theses, where the upside is faster product velocity and a pre-built operating team.
7+ years building or operating. Domain depth in one of the sectors of the open seats. Visible evidence of shipping under constraint — a prior founder role, a 0-to-1 product inside a larger company, a teardown that shows technical fluency, or research that became a real artefact.
Yes, but only for our minority stake (typically 30 – 45% post-pre-seed). You and any co-founders hold the majority of common. Our equity dilutes alongside yours through future rounds — we never carry anti-dilution rights into a co-founder's stake.
