We are looking for a highly driven and commercially aware 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿 to work closely with the 𝘙𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘺 𝘍𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳’𝘴 𝘖𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘦.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀

1. 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 Assessment

Work closely with startup founders to understand:

• Business model

• Product or solution

• Market opportunity

• Founder and team

• Current traction

• Revenue model

• Customer validation

• Funding history

• Current fundraising requirement

Identify whether a founder is genuinely ready to approach investors.

Provide structured feedback on areas that need improvement before investor outreach.

Help founders prepare for fundraising by reviewing and coordinating:

• Investor presentations

• Executive summaries

• Business plans

• Funding requirements

• Use-of-funds plans

• Understanding founder challenges

• Maintaining regular communication

Research and identify investors who may be relevant for RaiseMoney founders.

Investor research may include:

• Syndicates

• Relevant early-stage investment organisations

Evaluate potential fit based on:

• Geography

• Investment thesis

• Typical cheque size

• Business model preference

• Previous investments

The objective should be 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴, not mass outreach.

5. Investor Relations

Develop and maintain professional relationships with investors in the RaiseMoney ecosystem.

Responsibilities include:

• Investor onboarding coordination

• Understanding investment preferences

• Maintaining investor profiles

• Regular investor communication

• Sharing relevant startup opportunities

• Inviting investors to Demo Days or pitch sessions

Responsibilities include:

• Preparing the founder

• Preparing relevant investor information

• Sharing approved startup information

• Scheduling meetings

• Confirming meeting objectives

• Coordinating follow-ups

• Recording investor feedback

• Identifying next steps

An introduction should never be treated as an investment commitment.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗥𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆

RaiseMoney sits between two groups with very different expectations:

𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 need guidance, preparation, feedback, access, and fundraising support.

𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 need relevant opportunities, clear information, efficient communication, and founders who understand their businesses.

The Fundraising & Investor Relations Manager connects these two sides.

A strong person in this position should be able to look at a startup and answer:

1. Is this founder ready to raise?

2. What needs to improve?

3. What type of capital may be relevant?

4. Which investors may be suitable?

5. How should the founder approach them?

6. What should happen after the meeting?

7. What is blocking the process from moving forward?

That is why this role should sit close to the 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲, rather than operating merely as a sales or lead-generation function.

If you understand both sides of the fundraising table—what founders need and what investors expect—we would like to hear from you.
