Asked:
“find me all founding/first gtm/account executive sales roles at startups the last 3 days. could be first/founding head of sales too. i want to get in super early.”
Asked (follow-up):
“run this search again.”
A third live-web scan on 2026-10-13 found 44 candidate roles not shown in either earlier report; one (Viktor — Founding Account Executive) is a title variant of a role already reported and is omitted, leaving the 43 shown here. Roles were included when their page was dated on or after 2026-10-10 or the live listing displayed “today” through “3 days” at scan time. 38 are company-level first/founding sales hires; 5 are founding roles for a new product, region or function inside a larger company. This is a best-effort scan across 11 independent job sources, not a guarantee of every login-only or unindexed opening.

Live-web scan run 2026-10-13 covering roles whose source page was dated on or after 2026-10-10 or whose listing displayed “today”, “yesterday”, hours ago, or 1–3 days at scan time; “posted X days ago” is the live page's claim, not an independently verified date. 43 rows shown of 44 candidates after exact company/title and apply-URL deduplication against two earlier reports (one Viktor title variant omitted). Pay bars use the listed dollar range — base or OTE as the listing states it. Sources span 11 independent hostnames; no single URL supports more than two rows. Startup stage and traction shown only where the listing stated them.
