Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Startup Fundraising Advisor to help an early-stage company navigate the venture/angel fundraising process. This role focuses on fundraising strategy, investor targeting, pitch refinement, and managing an outreach pipeline. The ideal candidate has firsthand experience raising venture capital, working at a VC/accelerator, or advising startups through successful rounds, and can translate that experience into a clear, repeatable process. Warm introductions are a plus but not required.

Responsibilities

Build a fundraising strategy (round type, target amount, timeline, milestones, investor thesis)
Refine pitch materials: narrative, one-pager, pitch deck, and investor FAQ
Create and prioritize a target investor list (angels, seed funds, strategic investors) aligned to our sector and stage
Set up and run an outreach pipeline using CRM/tracking tools (Airtable/Notion/HubSpot/Sheets)
Coach founders on pitching, meeting prep, follow-ups, and handling objections
Advise on diligence readiness: metrics, traction story, and a lightweight data room
Provide guidance on term sheet basics and fundraising process best practices
(Optional) Facilitate warm introductions when there is clear fit and readiness

Qualifications

Demonstrated experience helping startups raise capital (angel/seed/Series A) or experience in VC/accelerator/platform/scouting with strong founder-facing work
Strong understanding of early-stage venture fundraising mechanics and investor expectations
Excellent written and verbal communication (deck/story/pitch feedback)
Organized and process-driven: can run a weekly cadence, track a pipeline, and drive momentum
High integrity and professional network etiquette (no “spray and pray” outreach)

Engagement & Compensation

Contract / fractional (e.g., 5–10 hours/week), with weekly working sessions
Compensation preferred as hourly or monthly retainer (not commission-based)
Candidates must be able to advise without acting as a broker-dealer or “raising money on our behalf"

Pay: $48,545.15 - $58,462.98 per year
