External Researcher

Job ID: 39942139

Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD

AI meets human expertise: We're building an AI-powered investment analysis platform, and we need your human judgment to validate our agents' work.



What's Happening:

Our AI agent system just completed a comprehensive analysis of a promising startup. Eight specialized AI agents debated the investment case from multiple angles - market size, team quality, competitive moats, financials, and risks.



The result? A 50/50 split. Our bull and bear agents made equally compelling arguments.



This is where you come in.

We need an independent human researcher to:

• Review our AI agents' analysis and identify blind spots

• Validate (or challenge) key market assumptions the AI made

• Conduct primary research our AI can't do (customer interviews, expert calls)

• Provide human judgment on qualitative factors AI struggles with

• Help us understand if our agents missed critical context



Specific Research Tasks:

• Interview 10-15 potential customers in the target market (real humans, not AI-generated insights!)

• Validate TAM estimates through primary research and industry expert conversations

• Assess competitive threats our AI may have underweighted or missed entirely

• Research regulatory/compliance factors that require human expertise

• Provide qualitative assessment of founder credibility and execution risk

• Challenge or confirm our AI's assumptions with real-world data



What You'll Get:

• Access to our full AI analysis (comprehensive reports from 8 specialized agents)

• Clear research questions derived from agent disagreements

• Unique insight into how AI-powered investment analysis actually works

• Your research will directly influence a real investment decision



What We're Looking For:

• 3+ years market research, competitive intelligence, or strategy consulting experience

• Comfortable evaluating AI-generated analysis (we'll show you what our agents found)

• Strong primary research skills - you need to talk to real people, not just read reports

• Critical thinking - we want you to challenge our AI's conclusions

• Experience in enterprise software, developer tools, or AI/ML markets (bonus)

• Available to start immediately



Total compensation: $60-80/hour for a maximum of 15 hours
