Founding EIR / Venture Partner

About VeraHiveVeraHive — Contact Assurance Infrastructure for Outbound Teams and AI AgentsVeraHive is building the missing assurance layer for B2B contact data.Contact data providers create and enrich records, but real-world accuracy changes constantly as people move roles, emails bounce, mobile numbers stop working, and outreach channels vary. VeraHive does not replace contact data providers. We sit between providers and the people, platforms, and AI agents using that data.Think Waze for B2B contact data. When one user discovers a bad contact, confirms a working channel, or reports an outcome, that signal helps everyone else avoid repeating the same waste.VeraHive is a studio-originated venture created by XL Ventures. The thesis, product direction, internal validation, and launch plan have already been developed through years of operating experience in recruiting, staffing, outbound workflows, and contact data quality challenges.We are opening prelaunch founding member access on June 15 and planning public launch on July 15.Role OverviewWe are looking for a Founding EIR / Venture Partner to help convert VeraHive from a launch-ready platform into real market traction (Boston or SFO based preferred) This is not an idea-stage role.
