The Prospect
This role might suit you if:
You're building something of your own
You care deeply about startups and the ecosystem
You're creating a portfolio career
You want meaningful, flexible work that also pays the bills
You're learning how commercial ecosystems actually work
This is not a corporate job.
It's a chance to sit inside a fast-growing founder community and help turn engagement into thoughtful, aligned partnerships.
What You'll Be Stepping Into
You're not starting from scratch.
We already have:
A 3,000+ subscriber newsletter with standout open rates
A rapidly growing Slack community
20+ in-person events per year
Structured sponsorship formats already live
FounderFest and other major activations
A Partner Directory program
Huge potential for co-created programs and content
There are so many levers to pull.
The Role




You'll take ownership of partnerships and help turn what we've built into a sustainable commercial engine.
You will:
Build and manage a sponsor pipeline
Reach out to aligned brands and open conversations
Shape partnership ideas with the founder
Close smaller sponsorship deals
Co-create larger partnerships together
Monetise events in a way that feels aligned
Activate partners within Slack, newsletter, and events
Ensure sponsors get real value and ROI
Protect the trust of the community
You're not just placing logos.
You're building relationships that serve founders.
Who This Suits
Someone with partnerships, startup BD, community, or event experience
Someone commercially curious and confident
Someone comfortable doing outreach
Someone energised by the startup ecosystem
Someone who wants ownership without full-time commitment
This will not suit someone who needs layers, heavy structure, or corporate polish.
It will suit someone who sees potential and wants to build something meaningful around their other pursuits.
Structure & Compensation
Contractor role
1 day per week to start
Up to $80 per hour depending on experience
Open to flexible models including performance or revenue-share structures
As partnerships grow, this role can grow.
Growth Path
If you build the engine well and revenue grows, this can expand beyond one day per week and evolve into a larger partnerships leadership role.
