Role Overview
Foundry is a standalone division inside Instructure, built to generate new revenue with AI-built products. As a Pod Founder, you’ll start a company around a problem worth a business, prove customers will pay for the answer in weeks, and build and sell the product yourself.
About Instructure
At Instructure, we believe in the power of people to grow and succeed throughout their lives. Our goal is to amplify that power by creating intuitive products that simplify learning and personal development, facilitate meaningful relationships, and inspire people to go further in their education and careers.
Key Responsibilities
- Find and validate the problem and bring founder-level conviction
- Build the product, author the specs, the product context, and the customer findings
- Sell it, land the first pilot, and prove customers will pay
- Run the business, own your pod’s profit and loss, and hit the stage-gates
Requirements & Eligibility
- A builder’s instinct and a commercial mind in the same person
- Evidence you’ve shipped something real and put it in front of customers
- The judgment to work across product, sales, marketing, and support
- A bias for the customer over the org chart
- The range to build and sell well enough that a two-person team is genuinely enough
- Prior startup or zero-to-one experience helps; a track record of finishing helps more
