EWOR, a company founded by serial entrepreneurs, is hiring an Applied AI Co-Founder / CEO for a fully remote position. The role is open to ambitious entrepreneurs who want to start and scale their own startups with significant backing.
The job posting, listed on LinkedIn, describes the position as based in the United States with 100% remote work. EWOR is seeking individuals who are ready to build a company from the ground up with the support of experienced founders.
What EWOR Offers for the Applied AI Co-Founder Role
According to the EWOR careers page, the company provides a clear offer for the right candidate. The selected entrepreneur will be directly employed by EWOR, meaning they receive a salary while building their startup. Alternatively, candidates can choose up to €500k in funding to support their venture.
The support does not stop at money. EWOR promises weekly 1:1 sparring sessions with unicorn founders. This gives the new co-founder direct access to people who have already built billion-dollar companies.
Mentorship and Network Backing
The founders behind EWOR are Paul Müller, who founded Adjust and saw a €1.2B exit, and Petter Made, who founded SumUp, valued at €8B. They are looking to support "outlier personalities" and serial entrepreneurs who aim to build €1B+ companies.
Beyond mentorship, the role includes access to a community of the top 0.1% of founders, peers, and investors. EWOR also helps with team building by connecting the new co-founder with top talent through a network of over 50,000 professionals. This support extends to distribution, helping the startup reach product-market fit and build a sales force or marketing machine.

Who Should Apply for This Remote CEO Position
This role is not for someone looking for a typical 9-to-5 job. EWOR is targeting entrepreneurs who are ready to take the leap and build a company with serious backing. The ideal candidate is someone who wants to be a founder but needs the resources and guidance to get there.
The position is listed as "Applied AI," which means the startup should focus on practical uses of artificial intelligence. Candidates should have a clear idea of how they want to apply AI to solve real-world problems.
For those interested, the application process is available through EWOR's official channels. The role is open now, and the company is actively reviewing applicants.
Our Take: A Unique Path for Aspiring Founders
In our view, this role is a rare opportunity. Most entrepreneurs have to choose between a stable salary and the risk of starting a company. EWOR is offering both. The chance to earn a salary while building a startup removes a major barrier for many people who have good ideas but cannot afford to quit their jobs.
The mentorship aspect is also valuable. Learning from founders who have already achieved billion-dollar exits is something money cannot buy. The weekly 1:1 sessions could save the new co-founder years of trial and error.
To put it plainly, this is a high-risk, high-reward position. The support is strong, but the expectation is clear: EWOR wants to back people who can build €1B+ companies. If you are an ambitious entrepreneur with a solid AI idea, this could be the launchpad you need.
