CEO / Co-Founder

About Sisu

Sisu is a founder-friendly incubator dedicated to partnering with entrepreneurs from the earliest stages, often referred to as “day minus one.” We guide founders through the first twelve to eighteen months, helping with co-founder pairings, MVP development, fundraising, and more, to establish a foundation for long-term success.

Founded by Ari Mir, a serial entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience, Sisu is built on the principles of grit, humility, and an unrelenting drive to create impactful companies. Ari’s ventures include two companies generating over $100 million in annual revenue, employing more than 1,000 people.

The Opportunity

We are seeking visionary and resourceful business leaders to become CEO co-founders. If you are accepted into Sisu, you’ll collaborate with other exceptional founders, receive mentorship directly from Ari, and work toward building your own startup. This is a rare opportunity to start something meaningful with unparalleled guidance and resources.

Note: This is not a traditional job—it’s an opportunity to be the business co-founder of your own startup.

About You (Business/Operational Focus)

We are looking for top-tier business strategists and operational experts—individuals who are prepared to go all in on building a disruptive venture from the ground up. You thrive in high-stakes environments that demand relentless ambition and unwavering determination. Sisu’s program is highly selective, admitting only 20 founders a year.

• Business Acumen & Leadership: You excel in areas like product, go-to-market strategy, fundraising, operations, etc.. Whether you’ve built teams from scratch or managed complex business initiatives, your leadership abilities place you in a league of your own.

• Entrepreneurial Drive: You see opportunity where others see risk. You’re actively seeking the right partnership, network, and guidance to launch a high-impact company.

• Collaborative Edge: You understand that success requires a balance of individual grit and team synergy. You welcome feedback, thrive on being challenged, and appreciate direct access to a seasoned entrepreneur who’s scaled companies to significant milestones.

If you see yourself in these qualities, we want to meet you. We’ll provide the tools, mentorship, and resources to build something truly extraordinary.
