About the Opportunity
Fairbitration is a new venture at the forefront of legal technology, leveraging artificial intelligence to revolutionize how disputes are resolved. This platform reimagines arbitration—faster, fairer, and significantly more cost-effective than traditional methods.
We're looking for a CEO & co-founder to lead this transformation. You will take ownership of the venture from day one, steering product direction, go-to-market strategy, legal positioning, team building, and fundraising. The vision is bold: pioneer the global standard in AI-powered arbitration.
This role is built for a founder with deep entrepreneurial drive, legal-market insight, and AI curiosity. You'll shape strategy, lead execution, and serve as the public and commercial face of the company.
