Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR) — ID8 Ideas Exchange
Help founders turn promising ideas into customer proof
Every founder deserves a fair chance to test an idea, reach customers and build a better future. ID8 Ideas Exchange is building a more practical, inclusive way for founders to learn what customers need and what it takes to move an idea forward.
We’re looking for an Entrepreneur in Residence to bring lived startup experience into that work and help shape our Lead User Board.
What you’ll contribute
- Share first-hand insight into the challenges of building a startup, especially finding first customers, testing demand, converting investor interest, pursuing grants or coordinating product feedback.
- Help us examine what founders actually do when they hit these challenges: the trigger, the workaround, what fails and what they need next.
- Take part in practical discussions with founders and help shape ID8’s discovery tools, support and community.
- Challenge our assumptions and help us make the experience useful, clear and fair for founders.
- Where it feels right, introduce other founders or ecosystem partners who can add a valuable perspective.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You may be a strong fit if you are
- A current or recent founder, Entrepreneur in Residence, venture builder or founder associate.
- Applying to, or recently involved with, a founder fellowship, accelerator or pre-accelerator—and actively building a venture of your own.
- A solo, first-time founder with an MVP and little or no revenue.
- Able to talk about a recent customer, investor, grant or feedback attempt—including the workaround you used and what happened.
- Curious, generous with insight and willing to challenge ideas constructively.
Experience matters more than job title. Applicants to EIR, accelerator or Founder Associate roles are especially welcome when they can also bring recent, first-hand founder experience.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
What you’ll gain
- A meaningful opportunity to shape how early founders get evidence and make progress.
- Experience contributing to a founder board and working with practical innovation and customer-discovery methods.
- Peer connections across the ID8 startup community.
- Recognition for your contribution, agreed with you and reflecting your preferences.
This is a contribution-led EIR opportunity. The expected time commitment, scope and any remuneration or other terms will be discussed clearly before appointment.
You don’t need to share confidential product details. Bring the problem you faced, what you tried and what you learned.
