Iron Key, backed by Iron Key Capital, is a venture community and investment firm focused on liquid and venture opportunities in crypto, Web3, and AI. Our mission is to invest in and support Pre-Seed and Seed-stage startups, equipping founders and investors with the tools and knowledge they need to succeed.

The Opportunity: Founder Fellow

We are seeking a technical co-founder or Founder Fellow to help bring a newly incubated venture infrastructure product to market. This is a 3-month remote contract role, ideal for builders with Web3 and AI experience who want to launch a company with hands-on support.

Iron Key has developed proprietary AI tools for internal workflows and is exploring opportunities to externalize these as software-based consulting services or standalone software products. As an EIR, you’ll play a critical role in shaping, launching, and scaling these innovations.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead Startup Development – Take an incubated idea from concept to market launch.
• Drive Innovation – Bring your own venture idea or work on an existing Iron Key product.
• Strategic Execution – Develop and implement growth strategies.
• Hands-on AI & Web3 Work – Build and iterate on cutting-edge solutions in AI and blockchain.
• Leverage Resources – Work alongside investors, advisors, and a global network to accelerate your startup.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven entrepreneurial experience – Ideally, you’ve built a startup before (even if it failed).
• Deep Web3 or AI expertise – Hands-on experience in AI, blockchain, or fintech is a must.
• Strong problem-solving mindset – Ability to pivot, adapt, and execute in fast-changing environments.
• Leadership & Vision – You’re a self-starter who can drive a business forward.

Why Join Iron Key?

• Founder-Centric Program – Hands-on support to launch a company.
• Unmatched Network – Access to top investors, mentors, and builders in crypto and AI.
• Long-Term Value – Lifetime membership in the Iron Key community & alumni network.
• Fundraising Support – Get exposure to global investors and funding opportunities.
