The Role  

We’re seeking a founding Chief Legal Officer (CLO) to join our early-stage executive team. This is a unique opportunity to help lay the legal foundation for a company from day one. You’ll work closely with the CEO on all legal aspects of startup formation, funding, compliance, and governance as we build a future-facing tech ecosystem.  

​

Note: We’re specifically looking for someone Tampa-based or willing to relocate. As we grow and establish a physical HQ, this role will operate locally alongside other members of the executive team.

​

This is an equity-compensated role with a standard 4-year vesting schedule (1-year cliff). Compensation will initially be equity-based only, with the potential to transition into a salaried position once funding milestones are met.

 • Lead legal due diligence for venture fundraising (e.g., SAFEs, convertible notes)  

 • Draft and review contracts, NDAs, employment agreements, and investor documents  

 • Help establish our equity compensation plans (e.g., ESOP, RSUs)  

 • Set up risk management policies and ensure legal documentation is up to date  

 • Collaborate closely with the CEO, CFO, and other stakeholders  

 • Support long-term legal strategy as we scale into cloud, platform, and hardware spaces

​

What We’re Looking For

 • Active U.S. bar license (required)  

 • Located in or willing to relocate to Tampa, FL (required)  

 • Experience supporting early-stage startups or tech companies (preferred)  

 • Familiarity with venture capital, equity structures, and founder agreements  

 • Strong attention to detail and ability to lead all things legal in a lean, agile team  

 • Comfortable with equity-first compensation in early-stage environments

​
