About this role

Physical AI will decide the balance of power for the next century. It runs on components built by Original Component Manufacturers at the base of America's most critical supply chains.

• Partner with top-tier outside counsel, alongside the CEO, on all corporate matters: financings, governance, board materials and resolutions, cap table, holdco structure.
• Serve as fractional general counsel to our portfolio companies — the first call when a portfolio-company president has a contract in han...
