Founder-in-Residence/CEO (AI Powered Asset Maintenance Platform)
Remote
AI Fund
AI is the new electricity: Just as electricity transformed numerous industries starting 100 years ago, AI is now poised to do the same. AI Fund is an early stage venture firm founded by Dr. Andrew Ng in 2017. Our portfolio companies utilize AI technology and applications to improve processes and efficiency. The AI Fund team combines their experiences as AI pioneers, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, investors, and operators. We are backed by a $176 million-dollar fund from top-tier VC firms.Together, let’s build great companies that will move humanity forward.
Why Partner With AI Fund: We’ve been there. We’ve founded and scaled successful companies ourselves, and we know that creating meaningful startups is really hard. Many entrepreneurs toil with ideas for years. Many spend time building something without the foresight of limiting factors that could have been easily dismissed upfront. Accomplished execs often teeter between a desire to start a company and creating something great versus taking a job that is less fulfilling. If only someone could help with taking the risk out of turning an idea into reality and accelerate the company building process, more people would be inspired to start a company.
Coming up with great ideas, sussing them out, assembling great teams, and helping raise capital is what we do. We shorten a process that can take years down to months. We make sure you are going after the right market, are fully validated, and are surrounded by great teammates. Lastly, we make sure you see the world through the lens of a data scientist and machine learning expert, which is the perspective any meaningful company in the future must have. But we also know that the process is not about us. It’s about great Founders and empowering them to do great things.
Co-build with an industry partner: This new company will be launched in partnership with The AES Corporation (NYSE: AES), a Fortune 500 global energy company accelerating the future of energy. Together with their many stakeholders, they are improving lives by delivering the greener, smarter energy solutions the world needs. Their diverse workforce is committed to continuous innovation and operational excellence, while partnering with their customers on their strategic energy transitions and continuing to meet their energy needs today.
About PC: AI Fund and AES have together launched a new AI-first solution that is pioneering how capital-intensive sectors handle asset maintenance needs. Our vision is to change the operating paradigm around maintenance workflows and its associated decision-making processes, ensuring that every maintenance action is not only timely but also aligned with the critical importance of each asset and its financial impact to the organization. By automating and continuously optimizing the way maintenance requests get addressed, this company will minimize asset downtime and enhance the strategic impact of the asset management function. Join us in our journey to redefine maintenance workflows. Together, we are not just solving maintenance challenges; we are transforming the future of asset management.
