Interim Venture Developer

Lightcone CapitalPosted Aug 1, 2026

Job Description

Tasks

  1. Discover market opportunities, Jobs To Be Done, customer pain points, and business models for new high-margin digital-first companies. Figure out what problems are we're solving, for whom, why, and the market size.
  2. Define value proposition, nail the go-to-market strategy, roadmap, financial model. Include unit economics, scaling levers and what is success in 1-3 years.
  3. Launch in Germany (and potetinally later across the EU). Iterate on the Minimum Lovable Product/Service (MLP/S). Measure the KPIs that matter.
  4. Lead as an interim founder until we hire external leadership. Help recruit. Jump in and help out existing ventures when needed.
  5. Rinse and repeat.

Requirements

  1. Bias for action. Move with urgency and focus. You're pragmatic, push forward when risks are low, and quickly unblock yourself by finding answers and deciding fast. Understand one-way door vs revolving door decisions.
  2. Courage under fire. You want to be in a high-ownership role and get your hands dirty. Do the full cycle from initial idea triage, discovery, testing, and analysis to pitching your recommendations to the Founding Partners.
  3. No work is beneath you. You do the needful. You showcase a serious get-shit-done attitude and get-on-it-now-ask-questions-later approach.
  4. Strong opinions, loosely held. You love numbers and backing everything you do with them. You research new topics and track KPIs, even manually clean, crunch, and enrich data to support an evidence-driven approach.
  5. Optimism as an Operating System. You have a relatively high happiness resting point. You handle high-pressure situations with timely, composed, and candid reactions. You seek out and offer candid feedback. People want to work with you again and again.

Benefits

  1. Work directly with the Founding Partners who have a track record of three exits and eight companies to date.
  2. Low to no bureaucracy, there's one more EIR.
  3. Accelerate your personal and career growth.
