    • Support startups with content creation, training workshops, and preparation for key milestones like Series A and beyond, while coordinating with external advisors and legal teams.
  • Ecosystem & Partnership Development
    • Build and maintain a network of 50+ investors, venture capitalists, private equity firms, and key players in the startup ecosystem.
    • Interface with 20+ industrial partners annually and collaborate with accelerators, incubators, and industry partners to provide additional resources and expertise to startups.
    • Develop relationships with high-potential startups, stay current on investment trends and defense-related markets, and ensure alignment with investor expectations.
  • Data-Driven Insights & Success Tracking
    • Collaborate with the data team to track startup performance metrics, including financial growth, customer acquisition, and operational metrics.
    • Monitor industry trends and investment patterns to provide strategic advice on optimal fundraising strategies.
    • Analyze performance data to identify success stories and areas for improvement, and create reports to present findings to internal teams, investors, and stakeholders.
  • Case Studies & Marketing Collaboration
    • Develop marketing collateral for investor relations, including presentations, newsletters, and blog posts, and use case studies to enhance brand credibility and attract high-potential startups.
Successful candidates will have the following qualifications:
  • 7+ years' experience in venture ecosystems, with significant experience in supporting startups through the fundraising process.
  • Completion of a bachelor’s degree (Masters preferred)
  • Demonstrated ability to build and maintain strategic relationships with a range of investors, including venture capitalists, corporate ventures, private equity firms, family offices, and angel investors.
  • Strong background in developing and executing effective fundraising strategies, including identifying and securing private capital.
  • Has an existing network of investors/industry partners
