The Opportunity FutureSight is seeking a Co-Founder & CEO to lead Riuso, an AI recommerce venture. This is a co-founder partnership with meaningful founder equity, not a salaried executive role. Riuso is the operating record for electronics returns and liquidation benches. Owner-operated resellers and refurbishers spend around eleven minutes identifying, grading and pricing each returned or liquidated unit by hand. When the bench backs up, units default to the liquidation pallet, the lowest-value exit. Riuso identifies and grades each unit from photos in seconds and prices every disposition route, from resell and refurb to part-out, wholesale and pallet. It then routes the unit to the highest-recovery option. Every decision becomes memory the bench owns: repeat models price instantly, seller manifest accuracy builds over time, and outbound IMEI records turn mismatched returns into winnable claims. It runs on a phone and a label printer, with no integration. Market Context US consumers returned an estimated $849.9B of merchandise in 2025, and North American refurbished electronics is a roughly $17B market growing at double digits. Riuso addresses a $2.2B TAM across North American returns and recommerce benches. Its beachhead is 12,000 electronics-focused owner-operators, a $144M SAM. Right-to-repair laws now in force across California, New York, Texas, Oregon and five other states are deepening the parts market. Tariffs on new devices are pulling more buyers toward refurbished. Both make every unit on the bench worth more to price correctly.
