Directive 17 — Open Positions

Positions for humans with an Inevitable Mindset

Directive 17 — Founder/CEO

Three companies. Three seats.

Not a job. Not a process. Not for most people.

Directive 17 builds around what is inevitable.

Not trends. Not narratives.

Things that will happen, with or without us.

We are looking for three Founder/CEOs to take full ownership of three businesses from zero to scale.

This Is For You If

You've already done it once.

Something worked—really worked.

And something else didn't, or almost didn't.

You've hired people you shouldn't have.

You've made decisions with no good options.

You've felt what it's like when everything runs through you.

And you're not finished.

This Is Not For You If

You want a role.

You want a team handed to you.

You want clarity before you move.

Or you've never actually been responsible when it mattered.

The Work

You will build.

From nothing.

Team, product, culture, velocity.

You will decide faster than is comfortable.

You will recruit people better than you.

You will carry it when it's heavy.

There is no buffer between you and the outcome.

The Backing

Directive 17 provides:

Capital.

Infrastructure.

Conviction.

Not interference.

The Standard

We are not looking for potential.

We are looking for proof—and what you learned when it broke.

How to Respond

No resumes.

Send:

  • What you built that worked
  • What didn't, and why — the real version
  • What you would build now if you had one more shot

If this reads like a job, it isn't.

If this feels obvious, you're probably not the one.

If this hits something, you should reach out.
