About ChitChat
E-commerce is facing a double crisis:
the creator ecosystem is fragmented across disconnected platforms for content, community, and transactions, while a flood of AI-generated content makes it harder than ever for consumers to know who and what to trust.
The brands that win the future will be the ones that build authentic relationships through real creators and real communities.
ChitChat unifies the entire creator-commerce lifecycle into a single ecosystem:
- Broadcast-scale livestreaming, with stream recording
- Always-on storefronts
- Native checkout
- Subscription commerce
- Group-buy technology
- Transaction intelligence / Premium creator discovery
The Role
We're looking for a CEO/Co-Founder to build ChitChat into the leading creator-led commerce platform. This is a builder-operator role: you'll drive growth through creator acquisition, flagship brand partnerships, fundraising, and strategic alliances — and serve as the public face of the company across the creator economy, digital commerce, media, and venture capital.
What You'll Own
Creator & Brand Network
- Build relationships with top creators, talent managers, agencies, and athlete/entertainment networks
- Recruit flagship creators and brands to anchor the marketplace
- Position ChitChat as the go-to commerce infrastructure for creators who want ownership, recurring revenue, and direct customer relationships
Fundraising
- Lead all fundraising — pre-seed through growth rounds
- Build relationships with VCs, family offices, and strategic investors
- Own investor materials, strategy, and communications
Strategic Partnerships
- Forge partnerships with agencies, talent networks, media companies, sports organizations, and commerce platforms
- Identify acquisition, joint venture, and alliance opportunities
Vision & Leadership
- Set and communicate ChitChat's long-term strategy
- Align product, ops, marketing, and growth around it
- Recruit and retain world-class leadership; build a culture of execution
Market Positioning
- Be ChitChat's primary voice with creators, investors, media, and the industry
- Build thought leadership on creator-led commerce and the future of digital ownership
How We'll Measure Success
- Creators and flagship brands onboarded
- Monthly GMV and creator-generated sales volume
- Capital raised and partnerships executed
- Revenue growth and retention
- Enterprise valuation growth
What You Bring
- 10+ years leading in tech, media, e-commerce, VC, or the creator economy
- An existing network of creators, agencies, brands, and investors
- A track record of closing fundraises, from angels to VCs
- Strong dealmaking and relationship-building instincts
- Founder/operator experience scaling a high-growth company
Our Mission
Build the world's leading creator commerce network — where creators own their audience, brands access trusted communities, and consumers discover products through authentic relationships, not algorithms.
