Part time Business Development Associate

*About AroundU
*

AroundU is building the Shopify for events and experiences.

Most communities, creators, clubs, and experience businesses currently manage their operations across Instagram, Google Forms, WhatsApp, spreadsheets, and ticketing platforms. They may get registrations, but they do not build a usable customer database or own the relationship with their audience.

AroundU helps organizers create their own branded booking infrastructure, manage registrations and payments, retain attendee data, communicate with customers, and grow their audience over time.

We’ve grown to 35,000 users with zero marketing spend and are already generating revenue. Communities and organizers across cities use AroundU to host workshops, meetups, run clubs, curated gatherings, and social experiences.

As we scale, we’re looking for people who enjoy talking to businesses, building partnerships, conducting demos, and helping organizers move their events and customer relationships onto AroundU.

This role is ideal for MBA students, aspiring founders, or people interested in sales, partnerships, growth, SaaS, and startups.

*What You'll Do *

• Find communities, creators, clubs, and experience businesses that regularly host events, workshops, meetups, or activities
• Reach out to organizers through Instagram, LinkedIn, email, WhatsApp, and calls
• Understand how they currently manage registrations, payments, attendee data, and customer communication
• Explain how AroundU gives organizers their own branded booking infrastructure instead of relying only on Google Forms, WhatsApp, spreadsheets, or ticketing marketplaces
• Conduct product demos and explain how AroundU works as a Shopify-like platform for events and experiences
• Show organizers how they can build and retain their own customer database after every event
• Help businesses import previous attendee data from Google Forms, spreadsheets, and ticketing platforms
• Help organizers set up their booking page, launch their first event, and understand the platform
• Build long-term relationships with organizers and help them host multiple events through AroundU
• Maintain a structured pipeline of leads, demos, follow-ups, and converted accounts
• Share feedback from organizers with the founder and product team

Incentives

This role is performance-driven, meaning you earn incentives based on the impact you create.

You will earn incentives for:

• Every organizer who launches their first event
• Paid events run through AroundU
• Subscription or branded booking plans closed
• Organizers who continue hosting multiple events through the platform

Top performers can earn ₹25k–₹30k+ per month through incentives.
We also run monthly leaderboards and additional bonuses for top performers.

Who This Is For

• MBA students interested in sales, partnerships, business development, or growth roles
• People who enjoy talking to founders, creators, community managers, and business owners
• People who are comfortable with cold outreach, follow-ups, demos, and closing deals
• Hustlers who like building networks and creating opportunities from scratch
• Aspiring founders who want hands-on experience selling and growing an early-stage SaaS product.
• People with strong networks among creators, communities, event organizers, cafés, clubs, or experience businesses

Sales, community-building, SaaS, partnerships, or event management experience is a plus but not required.

Why Join

• Work directly with the founder
• Learn real startup distribution, sales, and growth strategies
• Get hands-on experience with prospecting, product demos, negotiation, onboarding, and account growth
• Build a strong network with community organizers, creators, and experience businesses
• Help shape the sales process and product based on real customer conversations
• Sell a product that helps organizers own their brand, audience, and customer relationships
• Opportunity to grow into a full-time business development, partnerships, or growth role

This is not a passive internship or a certificate-based role. You will be expected to speak with real businesses, understand their problems, follow up consistently, and close accounts.

If you enjoy meeting people, pitching ideas, understanding how businesses operate, and helping organizers build something they truly own — you’ll thrive in this role.
