About the role

About Vector

We believe now is the best time in history to start a software business, and more people can do it now than ever before. People who can sell and have a distribution advantage are best positioned to own and run software businesses in the future. They have spent years developing the skills to distribute, close deals, and build strong customer relationships. In the past, these individuals sold and created wealth for others. Now, they can finally own their own software businesses and create generational wealth. We're on a mission to create a new class of software founders and enable them to bring better, more affordable software to the world. We partner with exceptional entrepreneurs and sellers to change the rules and redefine who gets to win in this new economy.
