Just Badge Worldwide (JBW) is a cutting-edge venture studio at the forefront of the AI-enabled future of work. We tackle the critical skills gap by connecting innovators with verified technical talent through

ELITE —our AI-driven collaborative platform that builds verifiable skill portfolios and a new professional credentialing system for the AI economy. JBW leverages this powerful talent network to rapidly develop, fund, and scale AI-native ventures through a data-driven, systematic approach, accelerating time-to-market and amplifying venture success.

A Strategic Networker:

You bring a strong network of industry leaders, investors, and innovators to unlock deal flow and partnership opportunities.

The Reality Check

JBW is early stage. Compensation initially favors equity, with cash remuneration growing as revenue milestones are achieved. Expect to embrace multiple roles in a resource-constrained startup context. Commitment and resilience are essential. This role is not for those seeking predictable income or low-risk positions but for leaders eager to co-create the future of AI-powered venture creation. Ideal Experience
