At R-LABS Canada Limited Partnership ("R-LABS"), we build purpose-driven companies to solve significant problems in real estate and housing. The time is right for our partner company, HomePorter, to take the next step in its growth journey. To achieve this, we require an innovative Co-founder to take the helm as CEO.

HomePorter is an exciting concept coming together as a company with the mission to transform the world of property inspections by reducing costs and improving efficiency while leveraging AI and leading-edge video technology. Today, industries reliant on field inspections face declining productivity and rising costs due to an aging workforce, high modernization costs, and AI adoption challenges. Businesses struggle to address these issues due to a lack of expertise, generic solutions, and data privacy concerns.

HomePorter is a technology-driven platform designed to solve these problems by offering an adaptable, virtual inspection platform that integrates video conferencing, voice transcription, real-time analysis, photo capture, and annotation to create secure, AI-generated reports. The solution is applicable for home inspections, pre-delivery walkthroughs, property assessments, or engineering audits, and empowers users to inspect, document, and report faster and smarter.

What we need

We are seeking a CEO and Co-Founder to take HomePorter to the next level. This is a rare opportunity to partner with a venture builder and to lead a company by guiding it through the funding and commercialization stages.

As CEO, you will be a driving force behind the company, teaming with your co-founder and CTO. You will be responsible for shaping and executing its business strategy, obtaining customers, securing investment, and assembling a high-performing team. You will work closely with R-LABS, our venture-building partner, and an experienced network of investors, industry experts, and real estate professionals.

This is a hybrid role.

Who you are

You are an accomplished, strategic leader and an experienced entrepreneur with a proven track record of successfully building and exiting a startup. You have successfully raised capital, secured investors, secured customers, and built partnerships, demonstrating the ability to scale a business from concept to profitability.

As a founder and leader, you have experience in making strategic decisions that propel business growth and innovation. You excel in articulating a vision, motivating teams, and fostering collaborative environments. Your approach combines meticulous planning with the ability to execute strategies effectively to meet goals and objectives.

Ideally, you have subject matter experience in AI, real estate, construction, engineering, and/or proptech. You have a strong network in the space, with established relationships.

Above all, you are passionate about emerging technologies, AI and driving efficiency and innovation in real estate. You are driven by the opportunity to solve industry-wide challenges and build a transformative solution.

What's in it for you:

Purpose and impact. This is a rare opportunity to lead a startup in the pilot stage in an industry primed for disruption and an ecosystem primed for growth. HomePorter is positioned at the intersection of AI and real estate, offering an innovative solution that transforms how properties are inspected and assessed.

Support and stability. While this is a startup environment, you will not be building alone. You will have the backing of R-LABS, an established venture-building team specializing in real estate innovation, and access to strategic resources.

As CEO & Co-Founder, you will:

• Secure capital for growth. Working alongside R-LABS' MD, Capital and Corporate Development, you will develop and execute a fundraising strategy, establish strong relationships with investors, and ensure the company is financially positioned for long-term success.
• Build a high-performing team. You will recruit and oversee top talent, including software engineers, sales professionals, and strategic partners, to commercialize the platform.
• Develop and strengthen industry partnerships. You will establish and nurture key relationships with customers and investors, ensuring HomePorter is at the forefront of property inspection innovation.
• Drive market expansion. You will shape the growth of the HomePorter business, securing customers and ensuring it scales effectively.
• Be the public face of the company. You will represent HomePorter at industry events, investor meetings, and strategic discussions, building credibility and visibility in the market.

We welcome and appreciate candidates with a range of backgrounds and experiences, including women, persons with disabilities, Black, Indigenous and People of Colour (BIPOC), the LGBTQ2SIA+ community, and other equity‑seeking groups.

• An in-person interview with the Managing Director from R-LABS, the CTO from HomePorter and other Senior leaders. These discussions will give you insight into our team and vision.
• An opportunity to complete two assessments: Clifton Strengths to identify your natural talents and Kolbe to evaluate how you apply these strengths in action.
• A final in-person interview with the CEO and Founder of R-LABS to address any remaining questions.
