Co-Founder & CEO - AI Communication Agents for Freight & Logistics (New York)

The Opportunity

FutureSight is seeking a Co-Founder & CEO to lead HawkAI, an enterprise AI venture for US logistics brokerages, carriers, and warehouse operators currently in build at our studio. This is a co-founder partnership with meaningful founder equity, not a salaried executive role.

HawkAI deploys always-on, multi-channel AI workers that autonomously manage high-volume freight communications across calls, texts, and emails, integrating directly with core freight systems including TMS, load boards, and broker/carrier databases. The platform handles track-and-trace calls, appointment scheduling, carrier rate negotiation, proof-of-delivery capture, and shipment status updates end-to-end — autonomously resolving 90%+ of routine communications and escalating only exceptions to human staff. Rather than another point tool layered on top of existing systems, HawkAI is designed to operate as the always-on communication layer for logistics teams, enabling them to focus on exceptions and value-driving work.

We are now seeking the founder to lead the venture from here.

The Partnership

• Founder equity with meaningful ownership from inception
• Pre-seed capital committed by FutureSight for early hires and MVP development, with potential for follow-on funding
• Studio resources, including embedded design, engineering, growth, and fundraising support from day one
• Investor and advisor network across logistics, vertical AI, and early-stage capital markets
• A true co-creation model in which you operate as CEO with the studio as your partner

Role & Responsibilities

• Strategy — Refine the ICP, pricing model, and product positioning across freight brokerages, 3PLs, carriers, and warehouse operators
• Customer Development — Lead pilots with mid-sized to enterprise freight brokerages, convert them to paid engagements, and build the go-to-market motion targeting Heads of Logistics, Supply Chain, and Operations
• Product — Partner with the FutureSight product and engineering team to ship V1 and iterate on user feedback, with a focus on TMS and load board integrations, conversational AI quality, and autonomous workflow execution
• Capital — Lead the seed raise, supported by FutureSight's network and traction
• Team — Recruit and lead the founding team, and establish the cultural foundation of the company

Co-Founder Profile

• Previous founding experience at a venture-backed company
• Demonstrated success in B2B SaaS go-to-market, including sales and customer engagement
• Fundraising fluency, with the ability to develop investor narratives and close capital
• Proven ability to attract, develop, and retain top talent
• Clear-eyed understanding of the risks and demands of co-founding a venture-backed company
• Direct exposure to logistics, supply chain, freight brokerage, transportation, or B2B enterprise software serving these industries, with familiarity in AI agents/LLMs
