About us - Genova.ai

**Why we exist?**

We exist to bring the magic of Generative AI to millions of people.

**Our thesis**

Generative AI is a new wave of technological disruption that will ripple through countless industries. We started Genova to be at the forefront of the revolution. Genova, meaning "New Wave" is a venture studio aimed at building delightful products around Generative AI.

**Our story**

After founding Smallpdf (a top 100 website globally) and Taxfix (a FinTech unicorn), Mathis founded Genova, together with a handful of other product, growth and AI experts. Our aim is to combine our expertise and experience to build products that improve human experiences for millions of people.

**What is a Venture Lead at **Genova.ai**?**

A Venture Lead at Genova is the commercial lead of one cross-functional product team. They work closely with the design and engineering lead of the their team to launch products and and market them successfully. Being a Venture Lead at Genova is like being a startup founder on steroids - you launch several products in a few years, succeed and fail fast and work and learn with the top 1% of talent.

**What you will do**
- You will have the ownership of one of the 4 product teams of the studio (deliverables, P&L, team)
- You will launch several new products per year with your team - you own this process from idea to research to launch, monetisation and possibly retirement
- You will work closely with the founder of Genova as well as the industry-veterans who are in the advisory network of Genova
- Together with the design and engineering lead you will manage the product team, make sure that the team enjoys working together and everyone is having fun
- You will be the intersection of marketing & product meaning that you will spend 30-40% of your time on go-to-market strategies and growth
- You will be making important decisions in product and marketing based on extensive data analysis

**Your background**
- You have Bachelor Degree (ideally in something like Economics, Business or Finance) from a top university
- You have 3+ years of work experience as a Product Manager and you have led cross-functional product teams, and have worked directly with designers & engineers
- You have a continuous track record of taking the initiative in your life to organise, build, set up etc. something on your own (event, brand, business, etc.)
- You have commercial / growth marketing experience (you have promoted your own or somebody else's business or yourself)
- You have a strong vision how you want to build things and you are humble to get feedback and guidance and learn from the best
- You like to be analytical and like spending time with spreadsheets and analysis
- You have growth mindset - you want to be better today than yesterday and tomorrow better than today

Nice to have
- If you have founded a company on your own it's a plus

**How does **Genova.ai** operate?**

Genova is a fundamentally new approach to how products are built. Genova is a studio with 4 product teams - each one building simple tools and software to enable millions of people to use the magic of Generative AI.

The 4 product teams are agile, release every day and build small, scalable products that generate loads of value for a lot of people. If their product becomes profitable, the team will receive a percentage of those profits as bonuses.

The product pods are supported by the studio layer, which includes supporting functions, a kick-ass growth and marketing team as well as some of the top AI researchers in Europe.

Genova aims to always stay agile and fast - we aim to hire smart and experienced people, capping our headcount at 40 people in total. If a product requires more people, it will become a spin-off with its own team.

**Why **Genova.ai**?**
- We build faster than anyone else. We will fail and learn faster than anyone else.
- We will fundamentally question everything and disrupt the status quo.
- We are well-funded but don’t take VC funding. We only build for us and our customers.
- We stay a startup forever. We will never fall for the trap of building a big corporation with politics, endless meetings and slow operations.
- We have amazing fun as a team working with only top talent.
- We leave our ego at the door and focus on the joy of building things together.

If you are excited about how we work at Genova, interested in the space of generative AI and you think the description above is a good fit for you, please apply. We are excited to talk to you.
