Founders Factory builds and funds startups together with exceptional entrepreneurs and the world's leading companies.

Our Studio partners with entrepreneurs at day one, developing new ideas, technologies and business models into high growth companies. We're now exploring concepts at the intersection of wealth management and technology.

About the Venture

Waypoint is an AI-powered tax platform helping wealth professionals deliver smarter, faster, and more compliant advice to high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs). By automating research, modeling, and reporting, we replace fragmented workflows with a conversational AI co-pilot that enables clarity, compliance, and scale. We're now assembling a founding team to build the future of AI-native wealth advisory.

About the Role

As CEO, you'll own vision, traction, and execution. You'll be the voice of the customer, the driver of product-market fit, and the architect of our go-to-market strategy.

You'll lead conversations with private banks, advisors, and early clients, while shaping the broader strategy and culture of the company.

      • Big ambition and conviction to completely reimagine the wealth advisory space
