TLDR

Drive lead generation by researching the startup landscape and engaging early-stage companies to democratize access to capital on StartEngine's innovative platform.

About StartEngine

StartEngine is the FinTech powerhouse driving the future of fundraising and alternative investing. StartEngine was founded by Howard Marks, the co-founder of Activision (now valued at over $75B), with the goal of helping entrepreneurs achieve their dreams by removing funding barriers. Howard partnered with co-founder Ron Miller, a veteran entrepreneur and early advocate of equity crowdfunding, to build a platform that democratizes access to capital. In 2020, StartEngine welcomed Shark Tank judge and serial entrepreneur Kevin O’Leary (aka Mr. Wonderful) as Strategic Advisor and Investor. Since its inception, StartEngine has helped over 550 companies raise more than $1.5B from retail investors, with investments starting at as little as $100.

Why merely back a company when you can own a piece of it?

As a Startup Sourcing Associate, you’ll be responsible for discovering and engaging early-stage and growth-stage companies that could raise capital on StartEngine.

This is a top-of-funnel, lead-generation role — you’ll be researching the startup landscape, finding promising companies, and sparking conversations with founders to gauge their interest in raising on our platform. Once a company is interested, you’ll introduce them to our Account Executive team to take it from there.

This position is perfect for someone who loves the startup ecosystem, enjoys networking with founders, and thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.

  • Resourceful and creative in sourcing leads — you love finding new ways to identify potential partners
  • Organized and proactive, comfortable working independently and meeting ambitious goals
  • Familiarity with platforms like Crunchbase, PitchBook, AngelList, or LinkedIn Sales Navigator is a plus
