Job Description

Accretional is seeking to collaborate with ambitious and innovative entrepreneurs as they build their next software startup. We are intending to directly invest in our entrepreneur partners while providing several other unique benefits.

About us: Accretional is an early stage startup building AI developer tools centered around "agentic workflows". As of February 2025, we are running a beta/design partner program for our product, Brilliant, to help guide our development process as we prepare for a release in a couple months. We are seeking an Entrepreneur in Residence to help us understand users building from "0 to 1", and especially to help us validate Brilliant's use as a tool for customer acquisition.

Brilliant allows developers to create and share workflows that are reusable, composable, and customizable. Developers can use this to automate processes, integrate with niche or internal software, or perform complex tasks that existing IDE-based AI tools struggle with; but for companies developing SaaS, Brilliant has the unique benefit of allowing software providers to create workflows (tackling onboarding, integration, upgrading, etc.) for their users and customers.

In this role you will collaborate closely with our founder ( and engineering team to use Brilliant as you develop your own product, and as a tool for users.

What you'll get:

  • Startup funding via SAFE agreement, with the possibility for more funding later on
  • Direct access to Accretional's founder and engineering team to assist you in building your product and helping users use your product - think of us as a team of part-time engineers and technical advisors capable of providing you with the best technical support for our product as could ever be possible.
  • Direct influence in the development of our product Brilliant
  • Use of our spacious office in Jackson Square, San Francisco
  • Invitation to networking and technical events with other founders, as well as venture capital investors

What we're asking of you:

  • In-person collaboration at our office in San Francisco, at least 3 days per week, for a minimum of 6 weeks
  • Use our product Brilliant to help you build your software product
  • Use Brilliant to build workflows for your users and customers
  • Work with us to develop and validate new capabilities for Brilliant
  • All the other qualities - ambition, drive, expertise, scrappiness - that investors look for in founders.

Entrepreneurs participating in our program should be actively or imminently building a software product, and should enter our program with either initial progress towards building that product, or an immediately actionable plan towards beginning development. We are open to founder teams, developers who are currently employed but seeking to start a company, and developers who are working on open source software.

Nice to haves:

  • Prior experience developing SaaS products
  • Prior experience as a founder or stakeholder in an early stage startup
  • Direct experience with support, solutions engineering, onboarding, developer relations, or technical writing
  • Skill and interest in LLM-assisted development
  • A way to demonstrate your ability/prior examples of building 0 to 1

Why Accretional?

We are offering to invest in your company, and help you build your startup both directly - by actively helping you build your software product - and indirectly through our products. Our teams' skills span frontend, fullstack, backend, cloud, and AI engineering; we've helped build Google Cloud, Salesforce, Azure, consumer startups, and fintech startups. We are an early stage company ourselves, and as founders and early stage company employees, we will be able to understand and help you in ways that no venture firm ever could. You will have a direct line to our team as we collaborate and build together.

Interested? Make sure you're able to commit to at least 6 weeks of in-person collaboration 3x per week in San Francisco starting sometime in February, and then either message our founder Fred ( or apply through Linkedin.
