70 founding sales and GTM roles surfaced in two weeks — 36 are first AE seats, and Sept 26 was the biggest day with 11 postings

Asked:

“find me all founding/first gtm/account executive sales roles at startups the last 2 weeks. could be first/founding head of sales too. i want to get in super early.”

A best-effort live-web sweep from 2026-09-15 through 2026-09-29 found 70 apparently open founding/first sales roles at 67 startups: 36 account-executive, 17 head-of-sales, and 17 other founding GTM roles. Compensation is stated for 40 roles and 30 read as remote or remote-friendly. Job pages are fragmented, so this is a broad search result, not a provably complete universe — verify each posting date and open status before applying.

Posting cadence, Sept 15–29

Roles found per posting day. Blue = stated compensation, grey = not stated. Hover a day for the companies.

The peak day, Sept 26, delivered 11 roles at 11 different companies, 7 of them remote-friendly — the widest single-day spread of the window. ycombinator.com

Sept 22 and Sept 28 each produced 9 roles; Sept 28 was the best-documented day, with compensation stated on 8 of its 9 postings. builtinsf.com

The clearest "get in super early" wording appears in roles like Kepler Labs' founding GTM — "the first commercial person besides the CEO", with 0.4–0.8% founding-level equity. builtinsf.com

Sources span many independent hosts — no single URL backs more than 5 of the 70 rows — but several are aggregators rather than employer ATS pages, so check company/title match on grouped pages. bebee.com

Rows with a blue edge and an "early" badge carry explicit first-hire wording (first commercial person, first sales hire, founding team, equity, founder-led). "Remote-friendly" filters on location wording; the summary's remote count (30) also includes roles flagged remote in the posting body. Aggregator links (tealhq, bebee, jobright, builtin boards) can occasionally mismatch a company and title — verify on the employer's own page before applying. Missing compensation, funding, or location is left blank, never inferred.

Method: best-effort live-web search for founding/first sales, AE, GTM and head-of-sales roles at startups posted 2026-09-15 to 2026-09-29. 1,766 URL-deduplicated search-result pages across three query groups yielded 1,190 candidate mentions; date, startup, role-fit, open-status and URL-plausibility filters retained 70 roles at 67 companies, all shown here. Counts per day and family totals come from the precomputed summary. Posting dates and open status can be stale on aggregators — treat them as leads to verify. Long role-signal quotes are truncated in the table for space.
