Welcome to AI Operators!

Hi, I’m Evan. 👋 Over the past two months as Chief of Staff, Strategy @ EliseAI (Vertical AI unicorn!), I’ve interviewed 150+ candidates for my team’s BizOps roles and taken dozens of coffee chats with people looking to break into AI. One thing is clear: there’s massive demand for high-impact roles at AI startups, and very few high-signal places to find them.

That’s why I’m starting AI Operators. Every week (or two), I’ll curate and share standout operations and strategy roles at some of the most compelling AI-native startups, from early-stage teams building from zero to companies scaling past Series D. Whether you're already in the tech ecosystem or looking for a way in, this newsletter will help you spot the right opportunities faster.
