About AIVM
AIVM is an AI-native Layer-1 blockchain designed to power the next generation of decentralized AI infrastructure, agents, and compute markets. Built at the intersection of AI, blockchain, and real economic utility, AIVM aims to become the foundational execution and settlement layer for AI workloads in Web3.
Backed and incubated by ChainGPT, AIVM is entering a critical phase: transitioning from a technically strong vision into a globally adopted, revenue-generating blockchain ecosystem.
We are now seeking a CEO who will become the face, operator, and long-term leader of AIVM.
The Role
We are looking for a high-credibility Web3 CEO with a proven track record of leading blockchain or infrastructure-scale crypto projects. This is not a ceremonial role.
You will:
Own the vision, execution, and commercial success of AIVM
Lead VC fundraising and strategic partnerships
Drive product direction, ecosystem growth, and adoption
Build, manage, and inspire a world-class cross-functional team
Represent AIVM publicly as the trusted face of the blockchain
Your background, reputation, and execution ability should be strong enough that VCs gain confidence in AIVM simply by backing you.
Key Responsibilities
1. Vision, Strategy & Leadership
Own the end-to-end strategy for AIVM as a Layer-1 blockchain
Define and execute the long-term vision, roadmap, and market positioning
Make high-stakes business, product, and ecosystem decisions
Align engineering, product, marketing, BD, and community under a unified strategy
Act as the final decision-maker on priorities, trade-offs, and execution
2. Fundraising & Investor Relations
Lead VC fundraising rounds (Seed, Strategic, Series A+)
Build strong relationships with top-tier Web3 funds, strategic investors, and partners
Craft and own the investment narrative, pitch decks, and data rooms
Represent AIVM in investor meetings, conferences, and private briefings
Manage ongoing investor communications, updates, and governance

Co-lead product strategy and roadmap alongside the Product Owner / Head of Product
Ensure strong alignment between technology, market needs, and monetization
Guide decisions around:
Validator economics & token design
SDKs, APIs, AI agent infrastructure
Developer experience & tooling
Ensure the blockchain evolves toward real usage, not just technical elegance
(You are not expected to code, but must deeply understand blockchain architecture, incentives, and trade-offs.)
4. Ecosystem Growth, Adoption & Revenue
Drive real adoption: developers, validators, AI builders, enterprises
Ensure AIVM becomes a used blockchain, not just a speculative asset
Lead strategies for:
Developer onboarding & grants
Strategic integrations & partnerships
Enterprise or protocol-level adoption
Own revenue generation models (fees, infrastructure services, enterprise usage, etc.)
5. Marketing, Narrative & Public Presence
Act as the public face of AIVM
Lead the market narrative around AI x Blockchain
Work closely with marketing and community teams to:
Shape positioning and messaging
Appear in AMAs, panels, interviews, and conferences
Build long-term trust with the ecosystem and investors
Establish AIVM as a credible, serious infrastructure project
6. Team Building & Company Operations
Build, scale, and lead a high-performance global team
Hire and manage senior leaders across:
Engineering
Product
Marketing
BD / Partnerships

Why This Role Matters
This is a career-defining role.
AIVM does not need a manager — it needs a leader who can turn vision into a globally adopted blockchain, inspire confidence in investors, and build something that lasts.
If you are someone whose name alone can open doors, and whose execution can justify that trust — this role was designed for you.

Work alongside the ChainGPT core team on high-impact AI and Web3 products across our ecosystem.
Remote-first setup with flexible hours, focused on outcomes, trust, and ownership.
Competitive compensation, with performance-based upside where applicable to the role.
