About the role

C10 Labs is seeking a founder-type operator to launch and lead its NYC studio. This strategic and hands-on role involves overseeing venture builds and executing a cohort-based AI incubator. The ideal candidate will have 7+ years of experience in entrepreneurial roles, a deep familiarity with the NYC innovation ecosystem, and a strong technical background in AI/ML. Compensation includes a competitive salary of $160K–$200K+, performance-based bonuses, equity participation, and full benefits.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
