JOB DESCRIPTION

Our Studio is the division of Interplay that builds new companies from scratch. We come up with ideas internally, diligence them hard and when we can’t kill them... we build them.

We are seeking a Cofounder & CEO to lead the launch and growth of a new venture focused on Industrial Bottleneck Intelligence. You will be responsible for taking the concept from a validated idea to a scaled production powerhouse. While you run the entire company, Interplay provides the institutional "back-office" to help you succeed.

Interplay is a startup ecosystem that supports founders via venture capital, an accelerator, a studio, a platform of core business services, and a multi-family office.

  • Understand one or more relevant domains such as defense, industrials, energy infrastructure, grid equipment, semiconductors, critical materials, advanced manufacturing, logistics, or supply-chain risk.

  • Have demonstrated experience raising institutional or venture capital; prior leadership in a successfully exited VC-backed company is strongly preferred.
