I’m hiring a Chief of Staff to help run @ZeroPrimeVC & @AICouncilConf.

It's a mini-COO role for an unusually capable generalist.

Most of your time will go to operating and growing AI Council. The rest goes to increasing my leverage across both AI Council and Zero Prime: turning priorities into action, preparing decisions, protecting focus, and making sure important threads don't drop.

The right person is a high-agency generalist - comfortable owning a P&L, fully AI-pilled in how you work, and low ego about the job. You should move comfortably between commercial work, marketing, events, finance, executive communication, and operational detail.

The scope is intentionally broad and expected to grow. The right person will earn ownership quickly and can develop toward broader operating leadership over time. Evidence of ownership matters more to me than a matched resume.

$150–180K base, bonus, carry eligibility. Full time, in person, San Francisco.

To apply, send resume and LinkedIn profile to community@zeroprime.vc, with short answers to two questions:

1. What's the most ambiguous cross-functional problem you've personally owned through execution?

2. Why does building both an AI community business and a day-zero venture platform appeal to you?

Specific examples beat a polished cover letter.

If a name came to mind while reading this, please tag them. A repost also helps this find them.

Could the answer to AI's data center build-out challenge be found in a shipping container?

Anthropic has committed more than $500 billion to future compute. Compute still tops its S-1 risk factors by word count (thanks, @Chamath), and the Blue Wave just made that risk bigger. Now 12 states have a governor or governor-elect who has promised or imposed a pause on new data centers, Texas and Georgia among them.

Some, like Core Scientific on its earnings call this am, don't sound worried. They're still building in Texas. According to its CEO: β€œWe do not expect the election results to affect our existing operations or delivery timelines for capacity under development.”

However you read it, building data centers didn’t get easier this week. But Sonic Pods, @Runware's modular data centers, could be one way around it.

Each pod packs a complete AI data center into a 20-foot container: up to 1,200 liquid-cooled GPUs on 1 MW. Build time is roughly 3 weeks.

Last week, Runware announced a factory scheduled to begin production in Q1 2027, with a target of producing 10 GW of pods a year by the end of next year. I think of it as the Henry Ford move for data centers.

10 GW is roughly what 10 large nuclear reactors put out. Runware is working with energy and powered-land partners to line up sites with power, with 397 MW in the pipeline today and a target of 1.2 GW within 6 months. At a prepared site, a pod can be commissioned in under 48 hours.

Pricing starts at $0.63/GPU-hour for an RTX PRO 6000. Runware says that’s around half what a conventional neocloud charges.

@zeroprimevc is an investor, so weight my enthusiasm accordingly.
