About Us
Platform Venture Studio (platformstud.io) was created for founders by founders. We provide the infrastructure for founders from all backgrounds to build groundbreaking companies that tackle the world’s biggest problems.
Our tried and true methodology helps startups reach escape velocity faster, cheaper, and while having a lot more fun. Our studio team does real work, we don’t waste time, and we’ve seen the traps that most startups fall into so we can help you steer clear of the potholes along the way. Platform’s creators, serial entrepreneur Jeremy Burton and 2020 Midas List investor Tim Connors, have 60+ years of combined experience developing highly successful startups.
In addition to support from our studio team and other portfolio companies, we have an 80,000+ strong community of coaches, investors, future customers, and advisors for you to lean on.
We value results. We worship data. We don't chase fads. We build companies that change the world for the better.
About the Opportunity
We are seeking an entrepreneur who is passionate about leveraging technology, including AI and large language models (LLMs), to transform the construction labor market. As the leader of this initiative, you will explore innovative ways to use AI-driven solutions to solve key challenges in the construction workforce. Your role will focus on identifying opportunities where AI and LLMs can optimize processes such as job matching, skill assessment, workforce management, and project staffing.
This open-ended opportunity gives you the freedom to define what the most impactful solution looks like – whether it's using AI to streamline hiring, enhance worker skill development, or improve job site efficiency. You'll be at the forefront of applying cutting-edge technology to create scalable solutions in a critical industry, with the flexibility to explore various approaches based on real-world needs and insights.
Note: If you have already raised capital and found product-market fit, then you are likely too late for our Founder-in-Residence program. Alternatively, we do make select traditional pre-seed investments in highly thematic companies.
Note: Please do not pitch us in this application. We don't want to hear why you think your idea is the greatest thing ever. Instead, we want to hear about why you want to partner with us to solve a problem and engage in a process to discover the right solution. If you don't feel like you have a bulletproof, perfect answer to some of these questions, that's normal. Do your best and show your work.
We most want to understand who you are: your story, your motivation for being a founder, why you care about the problem you're trying to solve, and how you think about and approach problem-solving. Take this opportunity to tell us who you are and let it serve as a reflective exercise for yourself as a founder.
