Mollie founder Adriaan Mol launched an unusual recruiting pitch: assemble a founding team to build a banking & financial layer for AI agents on Mollie's licensed infrastructure, with a €50 million equity package for the team that hits milestones.
- Explicitly framed as "not a job posting": full ownership, plus the budget, distribution and infrastructure already in place
- Mollie brings 350,000 business customers and two decades of regulated payments infrastructure, betting that AI is rewriting finance in real time
- The company says the hardest cold-start problems—first customers, fundraising, scale—are already solved for the team
- Reposted by lucasmeijer, who called it an interesting new format for startup building
