Apply as an EIR.
A profile of the person we back.
Most of our EIRs walk in from one of three places.
PM at a big-tech company, ex-consultant, ops or commercial lead at a fast-growing startup. You know how to move things through organisations. You can hold a conversation with a CFO in the morning and a sales rep in the afternoon.
You ship by reflex — engineering, product, design, the works. You have side projects nobody asked you to build. Half of them work, which is the right number.
Three to seven years deep inside an industry — manufacturing, healthcare, financial services, retail. You've stopped being able to unsee the broken workflows.
Different lanes. Same three things underneath.
The first-principles kind, not the pattern-matching kind. You take a problem apart until you understand why it's a problem, then build the answer from scratch. You don't accept "because that's how it's done" as an explanation.
You run through walls to get what you want. If someone audited your last six months, they'd find a list of things in the world that wouldn't exist without you.
You can't help going deep on things that don't pay you. You've taught yourself fields nobody asked you to learn. AI is the obvious test case right now: you've built with it, not just used it — agents that handle real work, because you wanted to see what was possible. We don't need AI experts. We have those. We need people who got curious enough to start.
