Founder of Delphic

Founder & CEO, DelphicDelhi, in-studio, full-time. Majority founder equity. Studio-funded from day one.The venture (www.delphic.services)AI assistants have become the broker of expert knowledge. When a buyer asks ChatGPT or Gemini the question that used to send them to a research firm, a ratings house or a specialist advisory, something gets cited, and it is usually not the firm with the deepest expertise.The standard advice for AI visibility is to publish more and expose more. That is advice a knowledge business cannot take, because the knowledge is the product.Delphic fixes this. We map the questions a firm's buyers actually ask, measure who wins them today, and engineer the firm into the cited answer while disclosing as little as possible.The timing is the argument. AI-mediated discovery is about two years old, and the capital pouring in chases tools that maximise exposure for marketing teams. The segment where exposure is self-defeating is unoccupied, and it will not stay that way. The method is documented end to end, the measurement instrument runs in production, and engagements are running. What the venture needs now is its founder.The roleYou own the company: majority equity, founder and chief executive, with the studio as a minority partner that backs you rather than runs you. You build the team and make the first hires. You raise the seed and everything after it. You sell at partner level to senior buyers inside expert-knowledge firms, opening with a measured diagnostic of their own citation gaps rather than a pitch. And you set the direction: where this starts is one wedge into one market, and where it ends is your call.About 5a.venturesWe are an AI-native venture studio in Delhi. We build companies rather than back them: we pick ideas with a high ceiling, build the product ourselves, and carry them to their first customers. Then we hand them over, because a studio is the wrong owner for what comes after. Delphic is at that point.Who we are looking forTwo things, and the first carries most of the weight.Someone who sells. You have sold expert judgment to partner or CXO buyers and closed. Not supported a deal, closed one, and you can name it. You are willing to sit in rooms where you are not yet welcome, and you keep going after the first no.Someone who can chart a course and take people with them. What we hand you is a position, not an answer. You decide where it goes from here, and then bring people with you: the team you hire, the investors you raise from, and the buyers who take a chance on a young firm.We want to see deals you personally closed, checkable with people who watched you close them, and something you built that outlived you, however small.You do not need AI or search expertise, an engineering background, a prior founding exit, or a particular employer on your CV. We do not screen on pedigree. What predicts closing is a record of closing. If you are strong and not in Delhi, apply anyway and tell us how you would solve it.This is probably not for you if- You want a job with a boundary around it.- You want to set the strategy without owning the revenue.- You would rather be told you are doing well than told you are wrong.What you get- Majority founder equity, with the studio as minority partner.- Studio investment from day one, before any external raise.- A basic salary while in-studio and pre-raise.- Our leadership team alongside you like co-founders on strategy, fundraising and customers, with the studio's people behind you on sales, product and engineering.To applySend your CV with a short note on one thing you have built and run using AI or a deal you have closed and how.
