We’re Hiring a Startup Ecosystem Advisor (Freelance / Fractional)
I’m one of the founders of Geniffy, an AI-powered workspace that helps professionals and teams turn meetings into execution. Instead of spending time writing notes, follow-ups, and action items, Geniffy records, transcribes, summarizes conversations, and automatically generates the next steps—helping teams move from discussion to execution in minutes.
We’ve built the product, but like every early-stage startup, we know that building is only half the journey.
Right now, our biggest priority is finding true Product-Market Fit (PMF).
Our focus is specifically on founders and leadership teams of venture-backed technology startups, primarily Pre-Seed, Seed, Series A, and Series B companies. We want to deeply understand how these teams manage meetings, decision-making, execution, and internal collaboration as they scale. Rather than making assumptions, we want to learn directly from founders and build around their real workflows, operational challenges, and pain points.
Who we’re looking forWe’re looking for a Startup Ecosystem Advisor, Founder Network Consultant, or someone with a similar background who already has a strong network of technology startup founders.
This is not a sales role.
Your mission is to help us connect with the right founders, facilitate meaningful customer discovery conversations, and uncover the insights that will shape the future of Geniffy.
What you’ll be doing• Leverage your existing founder network to arrange customer discovery interviews.
• Introduce us to founders and leadership teams who match our ideal customer profile.
• Help us understand how venture-backed startups currently handle meetings, action items, team collaboration, and execution.
• Validate or challenge our product assumptions through honest conversations.
• Identify recurring pain points, unmet needs, and workflow gaps.
• Facilitate warm introductions instead of cold outreach.
• Document structured insights after each conversation.
• Recommend improvements to our product positioning, messaging, and roadmap based on customer feedback.
Who would be a great fit?- Ex-founder with a strong founder network.
- Entrepreneur-in-Residence (EIR).
- Startup advisor or mentor.
- Fractional startup operator.
- Accelerator or incubator mentor.
- VC platform/community professional.
- Someone active in founder communities with meaningful relationships across the startup ecosystem.
What matters mostWe’re not looking for someone with the biggest LinkedIn following.
We’re looking for someone who can genuinely say:
“I know founders personally, I can get them on calls, and I know how to run meaningful customer discovery conversations.”
If that’s you, we’d love to talk.
Engagement• Freelance / Contract / Fractional
• Remote
• Flexible hours
• Project-based, with potential for a long-term advisory relationship.
CompensationCompensation is open for discussion and will be based on your experience, the strength and relevance of your founder network, and the value you can bring to this engagement. We’re happy to discuss a structure that works for both sides, whether that’s an hourly rate, a fixed project fee, milestone-based payments, or an ongoing advisory arrangement.
If this opportunity resonates with you—or if you know someone who would be a great fit—please send me a DM or leave a comment below. Referrals are always appreciated.
We’re excited to connect with someone who can help us learn from founders, validate real customer problems, and build a product that people truly need.
