About the VentureWe're not building another SaaS tool. We're building the nervous system for the robot revolution.At Telekinesis, we're making a bold bet: that within a decade, robots will be as ubiquitous as smartphones. Not just in factories—in offices, hospitals, and homes. We're creating the cloud platform that makes this possible—a no-code AI system that lets anyone program industrial robots, mobile units, drones, and humanoids without writing a single line of code.Our secret weapon? Robots that learn from watching humans. Powered by cutting-edge AI, our platform enables robots to autonomously improve with every interaction, getting smarter and more capable over time.We started in automotive manufacturing—one of the toughest proving grounds imaginable—and we're empowering factory workers with zero robotics experience to deploy and manage industrial robots. We're solving problems most people think are impossible. And we're just getting started.This isn't a job for someone looking for comfort. It's for someone who thrives on chaos, wants to be in the room where it happens, and is ready to help build a category-defining company from the ground up.The Role: Right Hand to the FoundersYou'll be the operational backbone of Telekinesis—the person who turns vision into execution, chaos into clarity, and ambition into reality.Working directly with our founders (<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/suman7495/">Suman</a> &amp; <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/arjun-datta/">Arjun</a>), you'll own:<ul><li>Fundraising &amp; Investor Relations Craft compelling materials that tell our story to top-tier VCs.
