Co-founder (with Investment) & Chief Financial Officer

Job Post : Co-Founder & Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

Location :  HSR Layout, Bengaluru

Stage :  Seed funded | Deep Tech | Cybersecurity + Identity + Fraud Prevention

Commitment :  Full-Time | Equity + Milestone-Based Vesting

About Us

We’re building  Kreesalis  — a new category in digital trust.

Our flagship platform,  K-Protect , combines identity verification, behavioral biometrics, real-time policy enforcement, and hardware-backed authentication (FIDO) into a single trust layer that works across banking, telecom, e-commerce, fintech, and government ecosystems.

Fraud is no longer a security problem — it’s a  trust infrastructure failure.

We are fixing that.

We’re backed by industry leaders from cybersecurity, enterprise tech, compliance, and identity systems — and now preparing for a  Pre–Series A raise  as we enter large enterprise and government deployments.

Why This Role Exists

We’re at a critical inflection point :

Enterprise deals in pipeline

Hardware + SaaS recurring model validated

Strategic partnerships in motion

Massive demand pull from BFSI, telecom & public sector

Now, we need a financial leader who can help architect scale — not just manage books.

We are looking for someone who thinks like a  capital strategist, operator, and category builder.

This is not a finance manager role. This is a  co-founder seat.

What You Will Own

• Lead our  Pre–Series A and Series A fundraise  — from investor strategy to term sheet negotiation
• Build and oversee  financial models, unit economics, revenue architecture, pricing frameworks, and SaaS + hardware margins
• Design our  capital allocation plan, entity structure (India + global), tax strategy, and treasury systems
• Own  compliance, audit, governance, ESOPs, FP&A, and board reporting frameworks
• Shape and optimise our  go-to-market cost structure, enterprise contracting, and scalability metrics
• Serve as a strategic partner on  GTM, partnerships, procurement, and risk management

You Are a Fit If You Have :

Experience scaling a Series A+ or high-growth SaaS / Fintech / Cybersecurity startup

Strong exposure to enterprise SaaS, fintech, compliance, or identity / fraud ecosystems

Proven fundraising experience with VCs, strategics, or capital markets

Strategic and analytical thinking — not just accounting execution

Ability to speak confidently with investors, regulators, enterprise boards, and banks

The ambition to help build a category-defining company , not just another software product

Bonus if you have worked in :   Identity, authentication, risk, payments, telecom, BFSI or cybersecurity.

Structure & Compensation

Title :   Co-Founder & CFO

Compensation :   Meaningful equity + milestone-based upside + future salary post-fundraise

Vesting : Standard 3–4 year + performance-linked ramps

We are open to  former Founders, Strategy Chiefs, Venture-backed CFOs, or Finance Directors  ready for a co-founder role.
