Co-found with Atomic

About the role

Atomic operates as a venture studio, changing how companies are formed, funded, supported, and expanded. The studio prototypes new ventures, assembles teams, and scales high-potential concepts into independent companies. This co-founding role accelerates concept validation, traction, and team building toward billion-dollar ventures.

Sales roles connect a company's product with the customers who need it. Representatives research accounts, run demos, handle objections, and close deals. The work is quota driven and moves quickly. Strong sellers combine listening skills with product knowledge and steady follow through. Sales roles reward consistent activity and honest qualification of deals. Most companies use a defined sales process, and reps are trained on it before being left on their own.
