Head of Product, reporting to the founder. The role is a founding Head of Product on the studio's flagship consumer DeFi protocol, working directly with the founder on the product surface as user counts scale past what the founding team can absorb.
A European DeFi venture studio. The firm builds and incubates consumer-facing on-chain protocols. Engineering- and design-heavy, around 25 staff. The studio's flagship protocol launched in Q3 2025 and is now scaling user counts faster than the founding team can absorb. Backed by DeFi-native investors and operator angels.

Head of Product, reporting to the founder. The role exists today as a founder remit and is being lifted out.
First Product hire at the studio. Owns the flagship protocol's product surface end-to-end — from on-chain UX to off-chain dashboards and the relationship with the studio's growing user base.
Strategic moment: the protocol is moving from early-adopter to growth-stage. The seat needs to define a roadmap that scales without losing the design discipline that earned the early users.
Remote within Europe, with quarterly off-sites in Lisbon. Some travel to investor and partner meetings in the US expected.
The role is a founding Head of Product on the studio's flagship consumer DeFi protocol, working directly with the founder on the product surface as user counts scale past what the founding team can absorb. The work is the product surface decisions that shape what the protocol becomes for new users, not a feature backlog. If you have shipped consumer on-chain product and want a small-team role sitting next to the founder, the form on this page comes to me.
