PostHogFull Time
Expert & Leadership (9+ years)
Candidates must be self-starters who thrive in ambiguous startup environments. Preferred qualifications include prior startup founder experience or experience working at an early-stage company, demonstrated experience building products and leading teams, and an obsession with a particular problem to solve.
The Entrepreneur In Residence will work closely with Wilbur Labs founders and the studio team to co-found and scale new portfolio companies. Responsibilities include leading research through consultations, defining go-to-market strategy, developing financial models, and owning core company functions such as product, growth, and business development in the initial phases.
Startup studio creating and launching companies
Wilbur Labs focuses on creating new companies that address significant customer challenges. The process begins by identifying major pain points in the market, followed by validating these ideas in their studio. Once an idea is confirmed, they recruit industry experts to lead the new company, while Wilbur Labs continues to provide financial backing, shared resources, and operational assistance. This support allows the management teams to concentrate on solving important problems. Unlike many other firms, Wilbur Labs primarily builds companies from scratch and is also willing to invest in other teams when their unique approach proves effective in accelerating growth. Since its inception in 2016, Wilbur Labs has successfully launched 13 companies and continues to introduce several new ventures each year.
