You want to...

👉 be part of our unicorn success story?
Then join us. We're not a normal company.
We build virtual humans with GenAI. We redesign procurement in enterprises by imitating the work of employed buyers. Backed by Y-Combinator, Silicon Valley investors and awarded by the German Government as most innovative startup.
We are growing rapidly. The following are only some milestones we reached within half a year:
We were accepted into the YC batch in San Francisco and have since maintained direct contact with OpenAI and Microsoft
We serve enterprises throughout the entire DACH region, including MDAX companies and DAX companies. We will be live worldwide soon.
We have been recognized as one of Germany's most innovative startups by the federal government and personally by Dr. Robert Habeck.
We have significant recurring revenue, which increases every month. Even at Y Combinator, we were among the top 10% of the highest-revenue startups in the batch.
Our principles:
We are here to change the world, and we know that to achieve this, we need to work smarter and harder than everyone else. We aim to surround ourselves with world-class individuals and owe it to our teammates to perform at our best. We care about our physical and mental health and encourage our team members to do the same.
Silicon Valley is deeply embedded in our DNA, and we live the "Get-Shit-Done" attitude every day. We have an extreme bias for action because action produces information. We set ambitious goals and are driven to achieve them.
We look forward to tackling difficult, unfamiliar problems because that is how we learn best and develop innovative solutions. We aim to learn new things together with our colleagues, fostering a culture of continuous improvement. We are open and welcome uncomfortable conversations that challenge us and help us grow.
We empathize deeply with our customers' pain and are obsessed with making their lives better. We communicate our thoughts, feelings, and ambitions with each other. We aim to build lifelong relationships with our teammates.
About the role:
As the Founder's Associate (CEO), you will work directly with our founder and CEO, Vladimir Keil, as we scale askLio into a billion-dollar company. This unique opportunity to join a Y Combinator startup between the Seed and Series A is unprecedented in our company's history. This position demands a high level of trust and offers significant growth opportunities, including leading your own team in the near future. Your actions will directly impact the success of the company.
As our Founder's Associate, you are the backbone of our rapidly growing startup. You will work closely with the CEO and co-founders with the clear goal of reaching our Series A revenue target. In short, your job is to do whatever it takes to make askLio successful. This involves both high-level strategy and hands-on execution, working with our team as well as external partners and customers.
You will be responsible for driving askLio into every procurement organization in Germany, handling both outbound and inbound management, workshops, and onboarding. You will work closely with our CEO to generate leads, establish partnerships, and independently close six-figure enterprise deals. You will update prominent Silicon Valley investors and top startup angels on our traction. Additionally, you will oversee HR, finance, and legal, building a team poised to generate hundreds of millions of dollars in impact over the next few years. Developing structures and processes to cultivate our company culture as we grow will also be a key part of your role.
You will position askLio as a new mandatory category in the procurement market alongside our CEO. This includes organizing and speaking at major procurement conferences like BME and Procurement Summit, managing our public appearances, and regularly launching new features on our website. You will conduct webinars and expert roundtables with large enterprises independently and personally visit decision-makers at Germany's top companies to build new case studies, video testimonials, and quotes.
We expect you to be convinced that we are currently experiencing a historic moment with Generative AI: comparable to the Industrial Revolution or the rise of the Internet – and you are here not just to be a part of it, but to actively shape it.
We are seeking curious and low-ego individuals with a strong product sense and customer-centric mindset, eager to tackle unprecedented challenges and excited by our mission in AI. The ideal candidate is a pragmatic generalist focused on shipping features quickly and obsessed with understanding and meeting customer needs.
