The role

CEO & Co-Founder - B2B SaaS venture in regtech / compliance (Barcelona, Spain)

We are building a B2B SaaS company in compliance: an AI copilot that helps AML teams at banks, payment institutions and fintechs run investigations and KYC/KYB reviews faster - producing auditable case files with a human always in the loop. Compliance teams in Europe are drowning in alerts and manual casework just as a new wave of EU regulation (AMLA, DORA) raises the bar; the budget is large, growing and non-discretionary.

As a founder, you'll be in the driving seat - launching and leading your own company. We invest in you and act as your co-founding partners, equipping you with strategic support so you can go from 0 to 1 faster.

What you'll do

  • Owning the company's vision, strategy and P&L from day zero.

  • Driving customer discovery with compliance leaders (MLROs, CCOs) to sharpen the wedge and reach product-market fit.

  • Building a repeatable go-to-market: landing lighthouse customers, converting pilots into recurring contracts, and owning ARR growth.

  • Recruiting and leading an exceptional founding team alongside Antai.

  • Navigating a regulated buyer: building trust with compliance, risk and audit stakeholders where credibility is the product.

  • Raising the company's next funding rounds.

  • Setting the culture, pace and operating cadence of the company.

Hiring process

If building a category-defining company alongside an experienced studio sounds like your next chapter, we'd love to talk.
