About the Company
Our client is a venture-backed, 14-person company supplying proprietary enterprise data to frontier AI labs. Based in Dumbo, Brooklyn, the team acquires business data, transforms it into de-identified datasets and licenses it for AI model development. The company has grown to a multi-eight-figure run rate in a matter of months.
About the Role
Own the full sales cycle for startup wind-downs and data acquisition as an Account Executive.

What You Will Do
• Run end-to-end conversations with founders winding down their startups, close wind-down deals and acquire datasets for AI training.
• Build at least 25% of your own pipeline through outbound prospecting and identify companies showing distress signals.

• Improve the sales playbook and target 10 or more datasets acquired per month with 40% or higher close rates on qualified deals.
