Founders Factory

Future Founder (f/m/d)

One of our key aims at Founders Factory is making the process of launching a startup more accessible. To do that, we mitigate the biggest risks for entrepreneurs from all backgrounds and give them the support they need to thrive and grow. We believe that by partnering with you, the world’s best entrepreneurs, we can build technology companies that solve our world's biggest challenges. We’ve spent years perfecting a platform that shortcuts - and de-risks - building a business from scratch. We bring together bold ideas, exceptional entrepreneurs, capital, expert operational support, and the scale of our corporate partners, to turn bold ideas into back-able businesses. 
To put it simply, our Venture Studio is a fast-track for entrepreneurs to go from idea to scale. Together we will 1) validate ideas, 2) build the MVP and 3) test, iterate and acquire first customers. And when we’re confident that we’ve proven the concept (typically after 6-months), we’ll help you accelerate your launch with an additional cash injection.
One of the newest concepts we are building in our studio is <a href="https://www.useprism.io/" target="_blank">Prism</a>. 
🧐The Problem:
The future of work is moving towards flexible work. With the great resignation in a Post-Covid world, this is truer now more than ever. An UpWork survey by Edelman concluded that over half of the US workforce is predicted to be freelance by 2027. There are new forms of work enabling this market shift that didn’t exist before with the rapid maturation and adoption of Web3 technology. Tokens: New forms of ownership in token incentives means users can be owners. DAOs: New ways to for communities to organise can enable equity for previously disenfranchised workers. Network effects: Financial utility can be used to bootstrap until product utility catches up i.e. solves Cold Start problem contract-linked risk.
💰 So what is Prism:
Prism connects hiring companies with expert freelance talent and introduces a more equitable commercial model, meaning employers pay less, and contractors receive more. It uses web3 token incentives to help scale both sides of the marketplace. These tokens will form a powerful economy at the heart of the business powering critical JTBD. At the centre we have a matching &amp; workflow platform which will help employers assemble their team. We have incentivised onboarding flows for employers and talent, and a network of experienced recruiters, working for tokens, who will vet talent, ensuring quality of supply is paramount. 
💸 The Vision: 
Prism will be a community-owned freelance talent platform, enabling users to build their professional reputation on the blockchain, scaling trust beyond immediate networks.
📈Unfair advantage:
Prism y will benefit from FFactory + FForum’s position in the market to help scale hiring companies (demand side of the marketplace) as we are uniquely positioned at the centre of the most enviable network in tech.

🧐 What is the concept at high level?
What if we could make it easier for people to access healthy food AND enable more healthy food to access people? 
Our vision is to create a network of fresh food automated “micro markets” underlying an engaging digital customer experience. The ambition for this venture is to be:
 ꞏ A new retail channel for food producers and brands capturing real-time insights
 ꞏ Streamlining access into automated-retail as a distribution channel by broking between site locations, food producers and consumers
 ꞏ A simple way for employers or organisations to subsidise healthy food for their teams
 ꞏ 24/7 access to extensive range of fresh and healthy food brands
 ꞏ Distributed national footprint in high traffic locations
 ꞏ Promotions, loyalty and rewards capabilities
 ꞏ Fully managed service; tech, maintenance and stock
⏰ Why now?
The new normal has created new opportunities. Lockdown has driven multiple trends which have changed how, where and when people eat. With this venture we can take advantage of them to succeed. Other reasons to believe:
 ꞏ Fresh food intelligent vending machines &amp; smart fridges are operating successfully at scale in other markets
 ꞏ Employers seeking alternatives to a canteen with the increase in WFH
 ꞏ More food suppliers resulting from people spinning up new independent brands looking for new channels to reach customers
 ꞏ Food brands increasingly interested in this space as rents and wages increase.
🍏 The Impact
This concept has the potential to shift the balance of food availability, with the potential to impact a broad cross section of society if placed in transport hubs, hospitals, educational institutions.

Founder/CEO for Healthy Food Distribution Venture (f/m/d)

About Prism
Prism is a professional platform enabling the future of decentralised, freelance work by bridging the gap between talent and employers efficiently and equitably through reputation-building on the blockchain. We are looking for a motivated tech lead to spearhead the next build phase. 
At the core, Prism will address trust and quality issues in the hiring process by providing Web3 infrastructure, enabling users (talent, employers, &amp; community members) to build and share professional data verified on the Prism blockchain. This will shift highly analog recruitment processes, which currently rely on limited networks and word-of-mouth, to a limitless and trustless digital network. 
In addition, tokens will drive platform engagement, rewarding quality referrals to encourage more equitable distribution of work and incentivize peer-to-peer community support. By providing community members with a stake in the platform through tokens, we also hope to drive professional growth because the success of individuals leads to the success of the whole.
Join the <a href="https://discord.gg/2H5QkmJyBN" target="_blank">Discord</a> to engage with our growing community. We'd love to hear your thoughts!
Mission &amp; Vision
We believe that the next generation of ‘Work Tech’ products will be built on-chain. Rather than have workers &amp; employers operating inside walled gardens and data silos as they do now (*cough* Linkedin), we envisage a future where people own their work data, and take their digital identity &amp; assets with them wherever they go by simply  connecting their wallets to the products / services they need to use, and disconnecting when they no-longer needed. 
Prism is working hard to bring this future to light. 
Check out the <a href="https://prism-2.gitbook.io/prism-docs/" target="_blank">white paper</a> for more information on our tokenomic strategy.

You will not only manage day-to-day engineering execution, you will also be responsible for keeping your finger on the pulse of what’s happening in the greater blockchain/crypto space. You will be joining a lean team, and this role will have a lot of autonomy-- you should be a self-starter and interested in self-directed work. Most importantly, you should care about the mission of decentralised communities + the power of blockchain to build trustless systems.

<li>Delivering the MVP (prototype), enabling us to start serving our early customers.</li>
<li>Become a member of the initial founding team, with all the benefits afforded to an early stage employee.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<h3>Requirements</h3>

</ul>
</ul>
<h3>What's in it for you?</h3>
<ul>
<ul>
<li>A significant equity position in the business.</li>
<li>True autonomy &amp; freedom to build &amp; scale the product as YOU best see fit.</li>

Tech Lead, Prism (f/m/d)

Veople is one of our latest products developed at the Factory and now we need a Tech lead to build this business. 
🤑 So what is Veople ?
Today the connection between fans and their favourite characters or entertainment brands is owned and controlled by giant corporations. The entertainment business is a closed shop. The IPs are all pre-existing, and the fans are kept on the outside. New creators are forced to sell their soul to break in. 
Emerging technologies could change all that, but right now it seems like virtual beings and NFTs are being used as an opportunity for more corporate owned IP and for fans to be exploited.  They are missing the point!
👀 The Vision
Veople is a platform that will democratise the creation of virtual beings and content, and share the value of success with the audience. To do this we will start by launching our own IPs and gradually open it up to all.
🧑‍💻The Role
We are looking for a developer that can help us build a simple app-based ‘studio’ platform that will allow anyone to broadcast themselves as a virtual being using their camera enabled devices. The application needs to be written from scratch and I am looking for proposals from candidates about the best approach. We also need your support on technical solutions around generating and minting the character assets that will be the stars of this platform!
💪You will be responsible for prioritising the three areas of focus below: 
We will launch a set of 5,000 virtual beings as NFTs based on procedurally generated permutations of a single character.  We will launch the tool that will be used to ‘broadcast’ as this character and build a simple community around them. 
The goal is to use third party tools and applications as much as possible. For example we think the community aspect could be fulfilled using Discord versus anything more bespoke.
There are 3 components that need building/exploring.
1. Developing and building the Studio Platform
What we want to do:
We want to build an easy-to-use native application that will eventually be rolled out on all mobile and desktop devices, however iOS is the focus for the MVP. Using this tool users will be able to add their virtual being (purchased / issued as an NFT) and use their phone/webcam to puppeteer the character in a simple virtual environment. The platform should also have simple features that will allow them to export video or to initiate a call/chat with a friend using their character.
What we need from you:
To lead the development and build of this project, finding and recommending the best third party tools, realising the UX vision in an elegant solution that works brilliantly. To think about all of the technical challenges of the build end to end for the MVP and subsequent updates.
2. PROCEDURALLY GENERATING ASSETS
What we want to do:
We want a way to procedurally generate a large number of versions of one character. That character should exist as a still image (like the most common NFTs) as well as a file that can be uploaded onto the Studio Platform mentioned above (our USP)
What we need from you:
Research and explore options, make recommendations, scope the best solution, and help execute/ bring in specialists where required.
Reference: Bored Ape or Meebits (by Crypopunks)
3. NFT &amp; BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY
What we want to do:
We want each of the virtual being variations to be minted as an NFT to be claimed / made available for sale. There is a growing ecosystem of services that we must make choices around.  There are also likely to be some specific   challenges we will need to overcome and bespoke requirements we need solutions for e.g. The minting process, gas fees, use of smart contracts etc.
What we need from you:
To actively support the process to research and explore options, make recommendations, scope the best solution, and help execute and/or bring in specialists where required.
<h3>🎯 As our Tech Lead you will:</h3>
<ul>
<ul>
<li>Have previous experience developing native applications</li>
<li>Have previous experience in character  / virtual experience design tools such as Unreal and/or Unity </li>
<li>Experience with the creation of AR filters / video effects and other camera based applications</li>
<li>Have a keen Interest or experience in applying blockchain technologies such as NFTs</li>
<li>Help represent technical opportunities and constraints with the founders</li>
<li>Have a high degree of user empathy and actively seeks to test, learn and iterate based on user feedback</li>
<li>Be well-connected to the developer community and able to attract the right engineering team post-fundraise </li>
<li>Have a proven track record of taking ideas and bringing them to life</li>
<li>Knowledge of a range of current cross-platform product development frameworks</li>
<li>Appetite for experimenting with new technologies and tools to drive innovation and creativity</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<h3>🎯🎯 Our Tech Stack </h3>
<ul>
<ul>
<li>We are building the studio app from scratch so invite your proposal for the best solution.</li>
<li>Familiarity with AR technologies such as Apple ARKit 4, Google ARCore, etc.</li>
<li>Lots of experience integrating APIs and using ML tools.</li>
<li>Great design intuition and user empathy.</li>
<li>Passion for UI fluidity and performance.</li>
<li>Ability to readily learn most technologies on-the-go.</li>
<li>Ability to thrive in an ambiguous environment with a high degree of autonomy.</li>
