    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.
    What You'll Do
  1. Identify high-potential startups through online research, funding databases, news outlets, pitch competitions, and accelerator networks
  2. Engage founders and leadership teams via LinkedIn, email, and other creative channels to introduce StartEngine
  3. Qualify opportunities and schedule intro meetings for our Senior Sales (AE) team
  4. Build relationships with accelerators, incubators, and venture programs to create ongoing deal flow
  5. Monitor trends in venture capital and private markets to stay ahead of emerging opportunities
  6. Collaborate with sales and marketing to refine messaging and outreach strategies
  7. Maintain accurate records of outreach and pipeline activity in our CRM
    8. Who You Are
  8. 1–3 years of experience in business development, venture scouting, or startup outreach
  9. FINRA series 7,63 required
  10. Deep interest in the startup world, venture capital, or early-stage investing (absolutely required)
  11. Excellent written communication and persistence — you know how to get founders’ attention
  12. Resourceful and creative in sourcing leads — you love finding new ways to identify potential partners
  13. Organized and proactive, comfortable working independently and meeting ambitious goals
  14. Familiarity with platforms like Crunchbase, PitchBook, AngelList, or LinkedIn Sales Navigator is a plus
    15. Perks & Benefits
  15. 100% covered Medical/Dental/Vision - pick your own plan
  16. Generous Equity package
  17. Unlimited PTO and sick days
  18. Paid WeWork Usage (optional)
  19. 100% Remote
