CoFounder Chief Commercial Officer CCO AgTech AI Startup MVP ready

I am a Senior Systems Architect with over 20 years of experience in lead technical roles. I am looking for a Commercial Co-Founder (CCO) to transform a high-performance AI prototype into a market-leading enterprise. Unlike most early-stage startups, AgriBlick is not just a concept. The core engine is fully developed, the cloud-native architecture is built for scale, and the computer vision pipeline is already functional. I have built the ‘Brain’—now I need a strategic partner to be the ‘Voice’ and the ‘Hustle’ to lead our market entry.

Your Role & Responsibilities

• Market Entry & Sales: Build the sales funnel from scratch and secure our first 10 pilot customers within the German orchard and forestry sectors.
• Capital & Strategy Lead: Drive the application strategy for non-dilutive funding and public grants to secure founder salaries and R&D costs (e.g., EXIST, SAB InnoStartBonus, ZIM, or KMU-innovativ).
• Venture Capital: Prepare the company for Pre-Seed and Seed rounds with Business Angels and AgTech-focused VCs once we achieve initial traction.
• Business Operations: Shape the pricing model, go-to-market strategy, and long-term partnership roadmap.
• Networking: Represent AgriBlick as the commercial face of the company at AgTech events and in front of institutional investors.

What You Bring to the Team

• Native-Level German: Essential for navigating the DACH market, negotiating with agricultural cooperatives, and handling German federal grant applications.
• Founder Mentality: You aren’t looking for a job; you want to build a company. You are comfortable with an equity-heavy role and have the drive to push through the “zero-to-one” phase.
• Sales & Execution Power: You have a proven track record (or the undeniable talent) for B2B cold outreach and relationship management.
• Academic Background: A university degree is required to qualify for specific German founder scholarships (EXIST).
• Industry Interest: A passion for AgTech, Sustainability, or Deep Tech.

What I Offer

• Significant Equity: A true co‑founder partnership (20‑40% depending on profile and commitment).
• Zero Technical Risk: A professional, scalable codebase and AI architecture built by a veteran expert. You will never have to manage technical debt or “broken” MVPs.
• Strategic Freedom: Full ownership over the commercial side of the business.
• Location: Based in the thriving Leipzig startup ecosystem with access to regional accelerators and networks.
