About MoodMe
MoodMe is an innovative B2B tech leader on a mission to revolutionize the way businesses engage and gain insights through AIaaS and enterprise agreements. By leveraging the power of Face AI technologies, we create experiences that are not just engaging but profoundly insightful, providing a window into the hearts and minds of the target audience. Our vision is to set the standard in empathetic engagement, where user-centric experiences boost customer satisfaction, foster loyalty, and drive outstanding performance across diverse industries. At our core, we are dedicated to uniting innovation and ethics to craft an AI landscape that is unbiased and empathetic, ultimately making a powerful positive impact on a global scale. And this is only the beginning!
NB: we are a startup, rebooting. We need a builder who thrives on ambiguity, not a caretaker.

Position Overview

MoodMe is searching for a new Chief Executive Officer to lead the company into its next chapter. This is a founder-level opportunity for an experienced startup leader to take the reins of an emotion detection enterprise software company with real technology, real enterprise relationships, and a clear mission, and rebuild its commercial momentum from the ground up.
Reporting to the Board of Directors, and working alongside a lean six-person team, you will own company strategy, fundraising, revenue growth, and culture. You will be the face of MoodMe to investors, customers, and partners, and the person ultimately accountable for turning our Face AI technology into a durable, growing business. If you thrive on the “no guts, no glory” philosophy and are ready to take charge with an entrepreneurial spirit, we invite you to watch a personal message from our founders and discover the world of MoodMe – watch here.
Compensation for this role is equity & a double digit % on revenue. As a company currently rebooting, leadership is not taking a paycheck, and we expect the same discipline and belief in the mission from our CEO. Upon the anticipated closing of a fundraising round or when the business generates sufficient cash flow, we expect this to transition to a competitive salary.

MUST HAVE QUALIFICATIONS

1) You should have grown a company from 0 to 1 M$ revenue, either as CEO, or in a Sales / Growth leadership position.

2) You should have raised a seed round (several million US$) and executed successfully on it for at least 1 year.

Ideally both of the above. If you think you are the right person, even if you don't meet both, go ahead!

Key Responsibilities

● Set and drive MoodMe's overall vision, strategy, and business plan, in close partnership with the Board.
● Set the vision, motivate talents to build “insanely cool” products with initial focus on a MoodStore, to sell our Emotion AI SDK frictionless online, and on MoodMirror, a B2C wellbeing emotional journal App.
● Rebuild and lead a high-performing executive team, hiring, developing, and aligning leaders across sales, marketing, product, and engineering.
● Grow cashflow & lead fundraising efforts end to end: investor relationships, pitch materials, due diligence, and closing rounds needed to fund the company's next stage of growth.
● Own full P&L responsibility, including budgeting, resource allocation, and financial discipline appropriate to a pre-revenue, capital-constrained startup.
● Drive revenue strategy and enterprise growth, working closely with sales and marketing leadership to convert MoodMe's Face AI technology into scalable commercial traction.
● Represent MoodMe externally as its primary voice, building brand credibility and trust with enterprise customers, partners, and the broader AI and tech community.
● Champion MoodMe's commitment to ethics, privacy, and unbiased AI as a core part of the company's identity and go-to-market story, not an afterthought.
● Make the tough calls a six-person, rebooting startup requires: prioritization, sequencing, and knowing when to say no.
● Report regularly to the Board on strategy, performance, risks, and fundraising progress.
Qualifications
● Prior startup leadership experience is required, ideally as a CEO, co-founder, or senior executive who has operated in an early-stage, resource-constrained environment.
● Demonstrated ability to fundraise, including direct experience pitching and closing institutional or angel capital.
● A track record of building or rebuilding teams and go-to-market motion from limited resources.
● Comfort operating without a paycheck and with meaningful ambiguity, this is a true builder's role, not a caretaker CEO seat.
● Familiarity with B2B SaaS, AIaaS, or enterprise software go-to-market models; direct AI industry experience is a strong plus.
● Strong financial acumen: budgeting, forecasting, and resource allocation in a pre-revenue context.
● An entrepreneurial, hands-on operating style, willing to be a thinker and a maker, not just a manager.
● Excellent communication skills, able to represent MoodMe credibly to investors, enterprise customers, and a small internal team alike.
● Genuine alignment with MoodMe's commitment to ethics, privacy, and positive social impact in AI.
● Excellent written and verbal English communication skills.
