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

  • Understand the value of a company raising money from it’s customers, community, and users, and be able to effectively communicate that vision to others.
  • Creatively source new leads and build a pipeline. Any tactic is on the table.
  • Talk to dozens of founders every week, at basically every stage of business, and across multiple industries. You can empathize just as quickly with a Series B SaaS founder as with the restaurant owner down the street.

  • You’re scary smart, and a good teacher: many founders you speak with won’t know how a SAFE works yet.
  • You’re gritty and don’t let rejection get you down. In this role, you’ll hear “no” a lot.
  • Talking to founders gives you energy; you want to be on calls and build relationships with other smart people. You believe in our mission.
  • You have prior experience in Business Development at an early stage startup. Hitting targets and winning is fun.
  • You’re hyper organized and can manage a sales pipeline. You can build a repeatable process.

Benefits
