About Nexus3 Capital

Nexus3 Capital builds and invests in transformative enterprise SaaS companies that are powered by artificial intelligence, focusing on large vertical markets where AI can materially improve decision‑making and operational efficiency.

Nexus3 Capital is founded and led by Tim Stojka, a serial entrepreneur with 25+ years of experience building cutting‑edge software companies across multiple industries.

Role Overview

We are seeking a proactive entrepreneur who can sit at the intersection of customer discovery, product management, and technical development. You will work directly with the founding CEO—as well as the engineering and business development teams—to validate product‑market fit, shape the MVP, and drive early customer pilots.

This role will be focused on our newest portfolio company, which will leverage generative AI in the energy industry.

Your Mission Will Be To

Lead customer discovery to validate the problem, current workflow, and willingness to pay

Understand the energy landscape and the ways in which a genAI product in that space can be monetized

Engage with the engineering team and quickly move from hypothesis, to MVP, to product

Customer Discovery & Market Validation

Develop relationships with industry stakeholders and conduct customer interviews across key segments to conceptualize and refine product functionality

Synthesize qualitative feedback into actionable insights

Identify workflows and processes that can be radically disrupted by generative AI

Run structured validation loops with concept tests and demo walk‑throughs, while documenting learning and identifying next steps

Product Strategy & MVP Definition

Refine the product thesis and prioritize use cases for different customer segments

Translate customer needs into product requirements

Partner with engineering to define and develop an MVP

Early Go-To-Market Support

Develop ROI narratives tied to customer outcomes and engage potential customers in pilot tests

Maintain a living view of the regulatory data landscape, as well as the AI application layer at large

Skills/Experience Required

2–4+ years of experience in product management, customer development, strategy/consulting, business development, or a technical role in B2B software

Strong interpersonal skills and ability to synthesize complex ideas into concrete and concise insights

Working knowledge of generative AI concepts (LLMs, prompt design, retrieval/evaluation) and curiosity about emerging technologies

Comfort building demos/prototypes using no-code/low‑code tools (Replit, Lovable) and/or simple scripts

Comfort in ambiguity and moving fast in a 0‑to‑1 environment

We Offer

Direct mentorship and partnership with the founding CEO

A highly leveraged role shaping the initial product thesis, MVP, and early customer pilots

Competitive compensation and potential equity
