Fundraising Lead

Fundraising Lead

Wefunder helps everyday people invest in the startups they love.

We've helped thousands of startups and small businesses – including flying cars, space rockets, breweries, Hollywood studios, and potential Ebola cures – raise almost a billion dollars.

We're a Public Benefit Corporation with a mission to revitalize capitalism and keep the American dream alive. GDP growth is slowing. Wealth inequality is increasing. Entrepreneurship is dying across America; falling from 10.6% to 3.6% among those under 30 since 1989. We're reversing these trends by funding more deserving businesses across all of America, not solely tech startups in Silicon Valley.

We're a team of founder types: enjoy autonomy, responsibility, the opportunity to learn, and no red tape. Just make it happen.

Responsibilities

This role is based full-time in San Francisco.

• Coach founders on how to effectively raise money. You’ll work 1:1 with founders at every stage, across all types of industries, raising anything from a pre-seed round to a Series B.
• Give effective pitch advice. You may re-write a founder’s deck, mock interview them, or translate their life story into an effective story.
• You’re the nerve center that makes the rest of the body work: you’ll coordinate with the founder and their team, the internal Wefunder marketing team, and external partners to ensure their Community Round is a success.
• Be a creative marketing genius. The traditional marketing playbook doesn't always work for Community Rounds. You’re the evil genius behind QR codes on physical products, fliers to put in shipping boxes, webinars with interesting speakers, and so much more.
• Manage multiple fundraises at once. Ruthlessly prioritize a to-do list, change plans on a dime, and be someone founders come to rely on.

Skills & Experience

• Experience fundraising. You have raised money for a startup before. You understand what investors are looking for.
• Strong people skills. You’ll be working with founders and their team. You’re empathetic and opinionated. You’re creative in finding solutions, and think like a founder.
• Honest and good communicator. You should have a talent for making people feel comfortable so you can tell them the truth, even when it’s different than what they believe. You speak and write like a human.
• You can build a machine. You’re organized, and can build a system that keeps other people organized too. If you’re successful in the role, we’ll ask you to clone yourself over and over.
• Creative. You will need to come up with different ways to sell a myriad of products and services from SAAS to bakeries. You have a good eye for visual storytelling. We think stories have more emotional impact if they are designed well.
• You’re extremely accountable and reliable. If you say you’ll do something, you’ll get it done.

Benefits

• $100k to $160k plus equity depending on experience
• Unlimited vacation days (mandatory 3 weeks off)
• Medical, dental, & vision insurance
• 401K
• Apple equipment. Whatever you want
• Lots of free food and drinks
• Reimbursement for classes and conferences
