Summary

Description We are an established SaaS company in the marketing technology space, building an AI-powered marketing operating system for small businesses. Our platform combines CRM, outbound marketing, audience building, creative tools, analytics, automation, and more into a single platform. We're currently raising an early-stage financing through a discounted SAFE and are looking for an experienced Investor Outreach Specialist to help identify prospective investors, coordinate personalized outreach, and schedule introductory conversations with qualified firms and individuals. What You'll Do Research and build highly targeted lists of angel investors, syndicates, micro-VCs, family offices, and pre-seed/seed funds that actively invest in SaaS, AI, and marketing technology companies. Identify the appropriate decision-makers and verify contact information. Execute personalized, founder-approved email and LinkedIn outreach using messaging, materials, and templates we provide (pitch deck, one-pager, data room, etc.). Track outreach activity, responses, and follow-ups in our CRM or shared workspace. Schedule qualified introductory meetings with interested investors. Maintain organized records and ensure timely, professional follow-up. What We're Looking For Experience supporting startup fundraising, investor research, venture capital outreach, or capital introduction campaigns. Strong research skills—you know how to identify investors who are actively writing checks at our stage rather than relying on generic databases. Excellent written English and the ability to personalize outreach at scale while maintaining an authentic founder voice. Experience using tools such as LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, Crunchbase, Clay, Affinity, HubSpot, or similar platforms is a plus. Familiarity with SAFEs, venture financing, and the early-stage fundraising ecosystem is preferred. Success Looks Like Well-researched, highly qualified investor lists. Consistent, personalized outreach with strong response rates. Qualified introductory meetings scheduled with investors aligned to our stage and thesis. Accurate CRM management and disciplined follow-up. Compliance Note This role is limited to research, administrative support, outreach coordination, and scheduling. All investment discussions, offering materials, diligence, negotiations, investment terms, and securities transactions are handled directly by our team and our registered broker-dealer partners, where applicable. This position does not involve providing investment advice, discussing investment terms, negotiating investments, or selling securities. To Apply Please tell us: A fundraising campaign or startup raise you've supported. Approximately how many qualified investor conversations or meetings you helped generate. Your process for researching and personalizing outreach at scale. The tools you use most often. Please begin your proposal with the word "SAFE" so we know you've read the entire posting. Budget Hourly or monthly retainer—we're open to proposals from experienced professionals.
