Summary

We’re looking for an experienced placement agent / capital raise professional to help us expand an active seed raise for a newly launched AI real estate technology company. This opportunity is being led by a founder with 20 years of hands-on real estate experience and approximately 1,000 transactions behind him. After spending years inside the business and seeing firsthand how much time, manpower and follow-up goes into getting a real estate transaction from contract to closing, he spent the last 2.5 years fully bootstrapping a technology platform built to solve that problem. The result is an autonomous AI platform designed to actually run the transaction from contract to close. Not another CRM. Not an AI assistant that waits for someone to prompt it. The technology was built to take over a part of the real estate business that has traditionally required people, constant follow-up, calls, texts, emails and manual coordination. The platform is now live. We recently began onboarding our first paying customers and are moving from years of product development into growth. We’ve also structured and launched a private Investor Club through Fractional, giving investors an established process to review the opportunity and participate in the raise. Our investor deck, company materials, investment terms and supporting information are already prepared. We are not hiring someone to figure out how to package the company or teach us how fundraising works. We need distribution of the investment opportunity. Specifically, we are looking for someone with real relationships in the private investor community who can understand what we’ve built, determine which investors in their network may be a fit, and personally bring the opportunity to them. We want someone who already has relationships with people who invest in early-stage companies, including angel investors, high net worth individuals, family offices, successful founders and other private investors. Your value here is not giving us a list of names. It is access, relationships and the ability to create investor conversations we would not otherwise have. We want someone who is comfortable saying to an investor they already know: “I’m working with a company I think you should take a serious look at.” And then helping move that relationship from introduction, to conversation, to diligence, to a potential investment. We are not looking for a lead generation agency or someone whose main strategy is scraping thousands of investor names and blasting cold messages. We already know how to do cold outreach. We are specifically looking to add someone who brings a deeper level of investor access and fundraising experience to what we are already doing. The company has been fully bootstrapped to this point. The product is built. Customers are beginning to come onto the platform. The infrastructure for the raise is already in place. The capital we are raising now is about runway, team, marketing, distribution and speed. We spent the last 2.5 years getting here. Now we want to move. When applying, please tell us: 1. How much private capital have you personally helped raise? 2. What types of companies have you raised capital for? 3. What types of investors do you have direct relationships with today? 4. What check sizes are typical within your network? 5. Do you personally make introductions to investors you already know? 6. Give us 2 or 3 examples of raises you have directly worked on and approximately how much was raised. 7. If you believed this opportunity was a fit, how would you begin putting it in front of your network? 8. Are you registered with or associated with a broker dealer or securities firm? If applicable, please explain. We’re looking for someone who can bring relationships, credibility and execution into an active raise. If that’s what you do, we’d like to talk.
