Founder Associate

1zu100 is automating construction planning. Together with exceptional architecture firms we plan multi-unit residential buildings and deliver completed permitted plans as a service.

We are looking for a generalist with an architecture background who understands that AI is fundamentally changing architecture and wants to be part of it. You work directly with the founders: in the sales process with clients on their projects and in running operations. You learn all of it at the same time and the learning curve is steep.

• Sales: You help sell our scalable use cases to architecture offices developers and Bauträger from the first meeting to the follow-up.

• Operations: You help run the company and take on whatever needs doing. No task is too small and you get real ownership fast.

• Forward deployed: When it counts you work with our clients on their real projects inside their offices.

• Fundraising: You are part of our fundraising process and see first-hand how a venture-backed company is built.

• A degree in architecture.

• Experience in a high-growth environment (startup scale-up or similar).

• High agency and an entrepreneurial drive. You know how much chore work sits in architecture and you understand that AI is going to change architecture and construction drastically.

• Fluent German.

• Nice to have: a non-linear CV experience with AI automation Rhino Revit or Grasshopper.

• A fast-paced environment at a fast-growing startup

• Work right next to the founders on everything that matters

• A steep learning curve across architecture sales fundraising and building a company

• A path into a chief of staff or founding sales role as we grow

• Competitive salary and a stake in the company with first-hire upside

• Wellpass and unlimited coffee from a professional barista

Were a small team with an extremely high bar. If you want to work deeply on hard problems and change the way construction planning is done youre the one we need.
