Job Description

The Opportunity
Koru's venture studio has incubated a next-generation InsurTech startup with a mission to transform the insurance industry. Through open data sharing and seamless connectivity, we're tackling long-standing inefficiencies in an industry constrained by siloed systems and limited innovation.
We've launched a modern infrastructure platform that radically improves access to insurance data. Our goal: empower the entire insurance ecosystem to build more personalized products and deliver exceptional customer experiences.
We're seeking a Founder & CEO to join the company's Co-Founder & CTO and lead this venture through its next phase of growth. You'll inherit a strong foundation - a first product version in-market with a lead customer, a healthy sales pipeline, and a team of Koru experts across product, technology, design, operations, and go-to-market.
Please note: This is not a Koru employee role. It's an opportunity to become CEO/Founder of a new, independent company created through our venture studio model.
About Koru
Koru is a first-of-its-kind venture studio and early-stage investor, backed by the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan (OTPP), a $260B+ global investor. We partner with OTPP portfolio companies to identify opportunities and launch ventures with unique market advantages. Our ventures go from 0-1, solving critical customer pain points and leveraging strategic partnerships for rapid market entry.
About DataBraid
DataBraid is reimagining the foundation of the insurance sector through cutting-edge data orchestration infrastructure. We're building the connectivity layer that empowers faster innovation, smarter underwriting, better claims processes, and more human-centric insurance experiences.
Our platform is inspired by infrastructure-as-code leaders like Shopify, Plaid, and Stripe - but tailored to the specific needs of insurers. We see a future where insurance is proactively chosen, not passively accepted. If you're ready to reshape an entire industry from the ground up, this is your moment.

Product & Brand Strategy
- Shape the product roadmap with the CTO, balancing time-to-market and technical scalability.
- Establish a compelling brand and marketing presence, with an initial focus on Canada and eyes toward global expansion.
Fundraising
- Lead the Seed round fundraising effort in early 2026, with strategic support from Koru.
- A founder's mindset and readiness to co-create something truly novel.
- Experience as a founder or early team member (within the first 5 hires) of a startup.
- A proven track record of leadership in a B2B SaaS or software venture.
- Ability to inspire and focus teams through early-stage ambiguity and growth.
- Customer-first instincts, grounded in validated learning and product iteration.
- Strong communication and storytelling capabilities - to engage stakeholders, team members, and investors.
- Willingness and ability to be onsite regularly for working sessions and customer interactions.
- Experience building partnerships with enterprise clients or regulated industries.
- Founding and successfully exiting a venture-backed company.
- Background in product management or experience launching technical products.
- InsurTech or FinTech exposure; existing relationships within Canada's insurance ecosystem.
- A founder position with significant equity.
- Day-one salary and benefits to support you until Seed funding is secured.
- Ongoing strategic and operational support from Koru's venture team.

Accommodations are available throughout the recruitment and selection process. Please inform us of any needs and we'll ensure a fair and inclusive experience.
Location
We acknowledge that our work takes place on the traditional territories of Indigenous Peoples.
