Founding AI Legal-Tech Sales — Co-Founder Track (Equity Only) | Settl X
If you’re a future entrepreneur who’s obsessed with tech sales + legal/compliance workflows, this is a 0→1 seat to build real revenue systems — and earn a path to Sales Co-Founder.
About Settl X
Settl X builds agentic, explainable compliance for stablecoin rails — continuous KYB/KYT, FinPromOps, and audit-ready decision trails for exchanges, PSPs/PGs, wallets, and RWA platforms.
We’re building the operating layer that turns regulatory obligations into shippable workflows.
Why this role exists
Early GTM needs one owner for the full loop:
customer truth → positioning → pipeline → pilots → paid
This is not a support role. This is business ownership.
Who this is for
- You’re a fit if you’re:
- a future founder who wants to learn how B2B revenue is actually created
- a tech-sales enthusiast who likes systems, experiments, and customer conversations
- comfortable with ambiguity and can still ship weekly outcomes
- strong at writing + follow-up discipline (you don’t drop balls)
Early-career is fine (0–3 years). High agency is non-negotiable.
The Co-Founder Track (how you earn it)
You start as Founding AI Legal-Tech GTM Lead.
- You convert into Sales Co-Founder when you consistently show you can:
- run discovery + qualification without founders in the room
- build a repeatable pipeline system (not one-off hustle)
- drive pilot → paid outcomes with clean process
- operate with owner-level accountability (strategy + execution + metrics)
Typical timeline: ~3–6 months (performance-based, not tenure-based)
What you’ll own
- 1) Customer discovery → positioning (customer truth becomes strategy)
- run discovery calls: pain, urgency, objections, decision process, “why now”
- extract patterns → ICP v1, use-cases, messaging, ROI narratives
- explain hard topics simply: auditability, controls, vendor risk, privacy/subprocessors, “reliance vs outsourcing” 2) Positioning → pipeline (build the machine)
- build target lists by ICP; run outbound (email, LinkedIn, communities)
- write/iterate sequences weekly based on response data
- qualify leads, scope pilots, push next steps forward
- run a tight CRM + follow-up system; track funnel bottlenecks 3) Pipeline → close assets (trust accelerators)
- Ship lightweight, repeatable assets that reduce time-to-close:
- compliance POV memo (why this, why now)
- pilot scope doc + success metrics
- control-mapping sheet
- evidence / decision-log examples
- basic security/vendor diligence responses 4) Partner leverage (speed up trust)
Support co-sell motions with KYT / Travel Rule / identity / custody partners when it shortens the sales cycle.
Weekly operating cadence (what “owner mode” looks like)
- Every week you will ship:
- learnings from customer conversations (structured notes, patterns, objections)
- ICP/messaging updates (v1 → v2 → v3)
- outbound iterations (new list + new copy)
- pipeline metrics (meetings → qualified → pilots → paid; where deals stall)
- one new “trust asset” or playbook improvement
- What you’ll learn (why entrepreneurs love this seat)
- 0→1 GTM: ICP, messaging, channels, outbound, pipeline mechanics
- B2B sales craft: discovery, qualification, objections, pilots, procurement
- Product sense: customer truth → requirements → roadmap decisions
- AI workflows mindset: agents/tools/RAG + reliability/quality thinking (no coding required)
- Legal/compliance + stablecoin rails: the category where trust + evidence wins
- Success looks like (30/60/90)
- Day 30: 20+ structured conversations; ICP + messaging v1; you can run calls end-to-end
- Day 60: consistent qualified meetings weekly; visible funnel metrics; strong follow-up system
- Day 90: one repeatable channel working; pilot→paid motion underway; playbooks/assets documented
- (We do an owner-track review around this point.)
- You’re a fit if
- high-agency, comfortable with ambiguity
- strong writing + follow-up discipline
- can reason about product/data flows (APIs, webhooks, logs) even if you don’t code
- want customer-facing work and enjoy moving deals forward
- Not a fit if
- you want a purely internal role
- you avoid customer conversations
- you need heavy structure to execute
How to apply
- Email 3–5 lines with:
- 1 thing you’ve owned end-to-end
- why this role + why legal-tech/compliance + stablecoin rails
- a simple 30/60/90 plan to learn the domain + generate pipeline
