At Poolside, we’re rewriting the playbook for company building.
We’re not assembling founder trios or siloed roles. Instead, we look for versatile builders: people who are tech‑savvy, who understand go‑to‑market, customer needs, and how to grow a business from the ground up. For each new venture, we select one founder, who will become the CEO.
We'll help you shape the business to first profitability. Beyond that, our support is always there when you ask, but the company truly becomes yours to shape. We believe founders should have freedom, not micromanagement. As long as the business is profitable and growing, you have complete freedom to set the direction.
While we aim for global reach with any of our companies, our first priority is to create a healthy business that can support its own costs and grow efficiently.
We obsess over unit economics when looking at growth and have a strong preference towards growth strategies that scale without headcount like product-led growth, partnerships and community-led growth.
We leverage AI in every part of the business. Before we hire or contract anybody, we first try to solve the problem with AI. We don't aim for perfection. In most cases getting to 80% of the result is enough.
We have a big plan but we don't spend much time talking about it. The only thing that matters to grow the business is getting to the next step. So we try to be crystal clear on what that next step is and to get there as fast as possible.
We build profitable businesses. And if you are leading one of them, then we will reward you for it. You'll receive a percentage of annual profit as a bonus - uncapped! The more profit you make, the more you'll earn.
If you are someone who wants to take full ownership, move fast, and build real products that customers love, we’d love to hear from you!
At Poolside, we’re not looking for cookie‑cutter founders; we’re looking for builders with curiosity, grit, and the drive to grow something meaningful from day one.
Whether you’ve started a company before, had a near miss, or are simply itching to go all‑in this time, drop us a note. No pitch decks, no red tape - just a conversation to explore if this is the right fit.
Your next big thing might be waiting here.
