Founding Hype Lead

You could be fluent in three-card monte, your stage a fold-up table at the Canal Street subway exit. You could be a creative technologist with a bent for using images to tell a story that refuses to die. You could be a streamer who built an audience shadow boxing with the zeitgeist.

Octet is hiring a founding hype lead to wake people up.

The digital economy is adrift in its own self-service loop. Pixels proving pixels. Fraud filled the vacuum between what feels real and what isn't. Trillions of dollars are gone.

Octet brings skin and ground back into the system. Real-world verification. On-device. Cryptographic.

Without ground-truth, DeFi, prediction markets and vast swathes of the global economy stay slower, dumber, more fragile.

We're building the new primitive that allows any application to check in with physical reality and build from cryptographic proof.

This is narrative warfare. Lenin built a vanguard before he built a state. We're building ours.

Done right, you look to Marina Abramović. Philippe Petit. Gordon Matta-Clark.
Build obsession. Catalyze revolution.

London. £45–60K + meaningful equity.

Apply with the action, the tactic you'd run. hello@octetproof.com

About Octet

The founders built and exited a venture-backed company together. We know what to do and what not to do. Octet is our once in a lifetime opportunity to build a company that shapes the modern world, going after one of the most significant problems on earth in a way that no one else is. We have worked together for a decade: CEO Benjamin Fels (ex-derivatives trader, built first-of-a-kind AI for financial markets and mission-critical supply chains); COO Drew Arenth (edge tech and logistics); CTO Suvrit Sra (MIT and TUM Professor, €5M Humboldt Prize for AI). Backed by Variant, ex/ante, hivemind and angel investors in leadership at World, Coinbase, and quantitative hedge funds.

Credentials are stolen. Faces are synthesized. Location pings are spoofed. Physical presence is the one signal that cannot be faked. No one has made it programmable.
