Growth Partner

ABOUT US world1 is a field institution for unconventional founders before they become consensus. We find disproportionately spikey profiles and forge them into category-defining founders. The strongest get surfaced to our board of investors and operators. Accepted founders go through a structured program that pressure-tests their market, narrative, GTM, product, and investor readiness. We are backed by Appli AI and a growing network of investors and VCs across North America writing minimum $100k checks into world1 graduates. The vision is cohorts running city by city — Toronto, San Diego, Austin, Vancouver, Boston, and beyond. growth partners are how that network gets built on the ground.

Secondary Responsibilities: • Partnerships: identifying accelerators, university programs, and founder communities that could send world1 founders or collaborate with us. warm them up and hand off. • Escalation: surface any strategic opportunity, investor signal, or partnership with real upside directly to the CEO.
