Chief Strategy Officer, fundraising focus

The Company attocorp is building the AI agent ecosystem with open-source tools that enable production-ready AI development. We're creating a complete stack: attoeval (open evaluation standards), attograph (agent framework), attotool (developer CLI), atto cloud (enterprise) and attonews (ecosystem capability showcase: AI newsgathering platform). Think LangChain meets OpenCode meets TerminalBench — focused on ecosystem leadership, not competition. We're self-funded and early-stage, with real technical progress and a working product, but we know there's significant hard work ahead. We're seeking seed funding to accelerate our mission of becoming the neutral stewards of AI agent development standards. The Role We're seeking a Chief Strategy Officer to lead our fundraising efforts and strategic growth initiatives. This is a foundational leadership role where you'll own our seed round ($1.5M target), build investor relationships, and help shape our go-to-market strategy. You'll work directly with the founding team to craft our narrative, develop realistic financial models, and position attocorp as a compelling AI infrastructure opportunity. With our technical foundation taking shape and Atto News already demonstrating real-world capabilities, you'll have tangible proof points to share with investors. This role combines strategic thinking with hands-on execution—perfect for someone who understands that building a generational AI infrastructure company requires patience, persistence, and strategic discipline. We're a remote-first company. You'll have the freedom to shape our strategy while enjoying the benefits of a remote-first team that prioritizes results over hours logged. We're building this the hard way—with focus, iteration, and a commitment to sustainable growth.
