AIUC

Our mission is to underwrite superintelligence. We eval, certify and insure agents. 

Capitalism’s answer to risks from new technology - be it electricity, cars, nuclear energy - has been a combination of insurance, standards and audits. We think of it as confidence infrastructure. We’re building that for AI, the most transformative technology of them all. Today, we help high-growth AI agent companies earn the confidence of their customers. Over time, we will do the same for foundation models and data centers.

Our team has experience from Anthropic, McKinsey, METR, the Center for AI Safety. We’ve raised $15m led by Nat Friedman, Emergence & Terrain and folks like Anthropic co-founder, ex-CISOs at Google Cloud & MongoDB.

Role

As Founders Associate, you will work across everything we do. You will execute the founders’ vision across go to market, product, operations; drive your own projects like building partnerships and representing AIUC at conferences; and develop ideas to accelerate AIUC’s work. You will quickly build out ownership in your own domains, which could range from bizops (finance, HR), through to post-sale customer relationships. 

Your core challenge is to amplify the impact and work of the founders. As the customer base and team scale quickly, we need to do more, faster. Our core focus is driving adoption of AIUC-1: the standard and evals are only valuable if they are applied in the real world. This means we need to make the certification process seamless for AI vendors, and meet the needs of enterprises. 

The world is rapidly deploying agents that can execute long-horizon tasks into high-stakes deployments like hospitals, banks, governments - and soon there will be more agent-to-agent interactions than human-to-human interactions. Our work only finishes when our customers have built systems of security, safety, reliability that means their agents meet AIUC-1, our gold standard.

For aspiring founders: this role is your training ground. You'll build muscle across product, go-to-market, and operations.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone who thrives under pressure, picks up new concepts with ease, isn’t afraid to dive into details, executes quickly, and communicates precisely. 

You'll need to have:

  • Owned ambitious projects and outcomes end-to-end including managing your own work and interdependencies on others

  • Adapted deliverables to fast-changing input and evolving circumstances 

  • Managed upward to align your deliverables, outputs, priorities 

  • Communicated complex technical concepts with clarity 

One profile that would be a good fit would have demonstrated exceptional performance at a top consulting firm (MBB) with strengths in problem solving and communication. 

The best candidates have adopted a range of AI tools into their day to day workflows and have experimented with how to unlock new outcomes using AI for their personal impact or at companies. 

In addition to hard work and speed, we value open-heartedness.
