About 0TO9 & HUGO

We’re a fintech venture builder and investor – a bank for entrepreneurship.

Our mission is to bring the right people, skills, and resources together so fintech founders can focus on building. From capital and compliance to tech and talent, we create an infrastructure for success.

We’re looking for a Co-Founder & CEO to lead our newest venture: HUGO, an AI-powered savings assistant helping people protect and grow their wealth effortlessly.

The Opportunity

This is your chance to shape and launch a groundbreaking fintech product for the German market – backed by 0TO9’s experienced venture-building team.

You’ll be the first co-founder of HUGO - the driving force behind product, growth, and team - supported by our venture studio’s playbook and infrastructure. You will, amongst other things, be responsible for:

• Taking the lead in defining and executing HUGO’s strategy, product, and go-to-market
• Driving traction, partnerships, and early user growth
• Shaping product direction alongside our tech and design team
• Building and lead the founding team as the company scales

Who You Are

Perhaps you’re currently a founder’s associate, entrepreneur in residence, chief of staff, or startup operator ready to take the leap, or an ex-founder looking to build once again. Titles matter less than your ability to take ownership and drive momentum, most importantly:

• You are a builder at heart - curious, driven, and resilient
• You might come from business, product, or operations - or you’ve simply been the person who gets things off the ground.
• You thrive in ambiguity and take full ownership from day one
• You’re a confident communicator who leads from the front – comfortable representing the company and rallying people around a shared vision.

Note: As you’ll be part of building together with your team, we’re looking for people based in Berlin (or open to relocate to Berlin)

What You Get

• Salary from day 0, and equity ownership
• A venture studio team by your side - experienced founders, operators, and fintech specialists
• A licensed bank infrastructure with the compliance, regulatory and legal set up
• The chance to build something meaningful - not alone, but together
