What are the responsibilities and job description for the Founding Growth position at Karumi (YC F25)?
Karumi is building an AI agent that joins video calls and delivers live, interactive product demos autonomously — answering questions, navigating the product in a real browser, and booking follow-ups, 24/7 and in any language. We're a Y Combinator company with real traction (thousands of demos delivered and a growing book of paying B2B SaaS customers) and we're now hiring our founding go-to-market team.
As our Founding Growth hire, you'll own how Karumi reaches its market. You'll build the demand-generation engine from scratch — across content, paid, lifecycle, and our own AI agent as a top-of-funnel growth loop — and turn it into a repeatable source of pipeline.
What You'll Do
As our Founding Growth hire, you'll own how Karumi reaches its market. You'll build the demand-generation engine from scratch — across content, paid, lifecycle, and our own AI agent as a top-of-funnel growth loop — and turn it into a repeatable source of pipeline.
What You'll Do
- Build and own the growth engine: demand gen, content/SEO, paid acquisition, and lifecycle.
- Design and run experiments to drive qualified inbound and improve conversion across the funnel.
- Use Karumi's own demo agent as a growth channel and a flagship example of the product.
- Own the analytics: define metrics, instrument the funnel, and report on what's working.
- Partner with the founders and the AE on messaging, positioning, and pipeline targets.
- 5 years in growth, or a founding/early growth hire at a Series A/B startup.
- A full-stack marketer — you run content, paid, SEO, and lifecycle yourself, not just brief a team.
- You've actually scaled revenue and growth before, and can point to the numbers.
- Strongly analytical; you instrument, measure, and iterate rather than guess.
- Excited about AI and a genuinely novel product category.
- By day 30: you'll have audited our funnel, picked the first growth channels to bet on, and launched your first experiments.
- By day 60: you'll have a repeatable inbound motion running, with metrics instrumented end to end and early wins to point to.
- By day 90: you'll have turned Karumi's own demo agent into a working top-of-funnel growth loop and defined the playbook for scaling it.
- Founding seat on the GTM team at a YC-backed, revenue-generating AI company.
- Build the growth function — and the team — from zero.
- $140–180K plus meaningful founding-level equity. Based in New York, in office.
Salary : $140,000 - $180,000
