Founder in Residence

Location: Remote, with plans for local hubs in SF, DC, London, and Tel Aviv Ask us about relocation support if you're intersted in moving to a hub. Travel: likely 5-20% travel, largely consisting of team offsites meeting in the hubs and conferences   Advancements in AI bring both opportunities and serious risks.  Atlas Ignota takes on society-scale AI risks that no existing institution is built to address — we design the intervention, validate it with domain experts and funders, then recruit and empower the career professional who will own it. You can think of us as: A tiger team that identifies, scopes, and launches interventions that aren't a good fit for existing organizations A design studio developing and staffing product requirements docs for coordination and market failures A think tank combined with whatever their analog of "tech transfer" would be. Atlas  is looking to incubate a cohort of Founders to each scope a different potential intervention and exit Atlas (with support) to lead it. That’s why Atlas is launching a selective incubator for career professionals who have spent the last decade or more executing on relevant security topics, and now want to direct their skills to the most important risks facing society from growing AI capabilities. Our job is to lower the barriers to entry — both the cost of leaving your current career path and the risk that a good idea never gets off the ground — and to meaningfully raise the odds that the effort you launch succeeds.
