Are you a current small business owner or manager eager to shape the future of AI? Large-scale language models are evolving from simple conversational tools into systems capable of supporting entrepreneurs with operations, strategy, financial planning, and customer engagement. With high-quality training data grounded in real-world business experience, tomorrow’s AI can better serve Small Business owners and managers navigating limited resources and high-stakes decisions. That training data begins with you—we need your practical expertise to help power the next generation of AI.

We’re looking for current owners, co-owners, and managers across a range of industries, including retail, e-commerce, professional services such as consulting, legal, and accounting, technology and software, hospitality and food and beverage, healthcare and wellness, creative and media, construction and trades, and other small business sectors. Whether you are a new business owner or have years of operational experience, your insight into day-to-day decision-making is highly valuable.

On a typical day, you will engage the model with realistic small business scenarios and operational challenges; evaluate outputs related to budgeting, pricing, marketing strategy, hiring decisions, vendor management, customer communications, and basic compliance considerations; assess whether responses are practical and aligned with how Very Small Businesses actually operate; capture reproducible error traces; and provide structured feedback to improve prompts, evaluation criteria, and real-world applicability. You may also help identify where models oversimplify trade-offs or misunderstand resource constraints common to VSB environments.

Direct experience owning or co-owning a small business is strongly preferred. Experience managing operations, finances, marketing, staffing, or growth strategy is highly relevant. Entry-level business owners as well as seasoned entrepreneurs are encouraged to apply. Clear, metacognitive communication—explicitly articulating how and why decisions are made in a real business context—is essential.

Ready to turn your small business ownership experience into the knowledge foundation for tomorrow’s AI? Apply today and help train systems that better support entrepreneurs worldwide.

We offer a pay range of $20 to $100 per hour, with the exact rate determined after evaluating your experience, expertise, and geographic location. Final offer amounts may vary from the pay range listed above. As a contractor you’ll supply a secure computer and high-speed internet; company-sponsored benefits such as health insurance and PTO do not apply.

Staying safe while you apply

Never pay to apply, interview or accept an offer. ROLIVA never asks you for payment to apply to a job.
Apply only through the official “Apply on the employer’s site” button, on the employer’s own site, and check that a recruiter’s email uses that employer’s own domain rather than a free email address.
Be cautious of an offer made with no real interview, or pressure to decide quickly or share financial details early.
