Founder of a new startup – e-commerce
01 — About us
PROTHEAN is an AI-Driven Venture Builder changing the way new companies are born. We don't wait for ideas from outside — we find them, validate them and build real, healthy and profitable businesses around them. With our own AI infrastructure, proven methodologies and experienced founders, we quickly identify an opportunity, validate it and build the team, product and strategy.
We don't chase hypothetical “unicorn dreams”, but companies that are:
- easy to understand
- relatively simple to launch
- quickly self-sustaining
As a Founder with us, you don't take on an employee role — you take responsibility for leading a new company from day one, backed by our processes, AI stack and an Advisory Board of senior leaders who ran global companies from the Czech Republic.
02 — What you'll do
What you'll do
- Take a validated idea with clear market potential and turn it into a real product.
- Lead the startup from MVP through first customers to the scaling phase.
- Set the company's strategy, culture, direction and pace.
- Build the team so you can free your hands for the next stages of growth.
- Use our AI tools, best practices and methodology that speed up every step.
- Work with the PROTHEAN core team and our network of experts on operations, strategy and execution.
03 — What we need from you
What we need from you
- Experience in an executive/management role. You need to have a track record.
- Be a bar raiser. A difference maker. An A player. We ask a lot. But we offer a lot too.
- Drive, determination and the ability to own the company from day one.
- The ability to make decisions, take responsibility and iterate fast.

- A healthy mix of critical thinking, leadership and the courage to make tough calls.
- Openness to working hand in hand with AI and modern tools.
- A hands-on approach. Yes, you'll have to assemble that chair yourself. We need rolled-up sleeves and hard work. But it will be worth it.
