Expert Opportunity – Founder/Entrepreneur, Competitive Analysis ($150/hr, up to $3k/week)

We're working with a leading foundational AI lab to find experienced founders and entrepreneurs who can help train their latest language model on competitive analysis tasks.

We're looking for founders who have built businesses in competitive markets and know what it actually feels like to track competitors when the stakes are real. You've done the scrappy version of competitive analysis (monitoring pricing changes at midnight, reverse-engineering a rival's funnel, figuring out why a competitor is winning a deal you lost) and you've developed sharp instincts for separating meaningful competitive signal from noise. That ground-level judgment is hard to replicate and exactly what we need.

You'll create, evaluate, and refine AI-generated work across core competitive analysis workflows: competitor teardowns, pricing and positioning analysis, buyer funnel comparisons, go-to-market benchmarking, and competitive landscape summaries for early-stage and growth-stage contexts.

Compensation: $150/hour

Commitment: Flexible, up to 20 hours per week (up to $3,000/week)

Location: Fully remote, work on your own schedule

Start date: March

Qualifications:

• Founder or co-founder of a venture-backed or bootstrapped company operating in a competitive market
• Hands-on experience conducting competitive research to inform product, pricing, or go-to-market decisions
• Strong written communication and ability to evaluate analytical output with a practical commercial lens
