"Executive IC". That's pretty much the role I've had at HubSpot since its founding 20 years ago.
Thanks for giving shape to the idea, @jmwind and best wishes with the new role.
Long-time admirer of your work.

Very stoked about my next adventure. I’ve joined Spellbook, but not as CTO.
I’m joining as an Executive IC. It probably means different things to different people. It means I'm here to build and be hands on in every part of the company.
I've invested and been advising and getting to know @scottastevenson and the team for more than a year. At some point it became obvious the most useful thing I could do was stop talking about ideas and go work with the team.
With AI making code cheap to copy, what's going to be hard to copy is the shape of a company. How a team learns, decides, and ships. That's what I want to work on. It's what I've spent the last three decades learning to do.
Why Spellbook? The world has entered into one of the largest investment cycles in decades. Trillions of dollars are being deployed into energy, AI, manufacturing, transportation and the modernization of critical global systems. Despite this, progress still moves at the speed of contracts. Spellbook’s mission is to modernize the $1 trillion transactional legal market so the contract system can keep pace with the global economy.
At the same time, every contract ever signed is becoming searchable, comparable, and weaponizable by counterparties, regulators, and plaintiffs' lawyers. You will be attacked.
We're hiring. Slight bias toward Canada, but remote-friendly for great talent.
