Capital Factory
Overview
Austin, Texas, United States
Ventures team reporting to Investor Relations Manager. This is an onsite role. The Investor Relations Associate will get to know every active investor in Texas and help facilitate millions in venture capital funding by connecting our portfolio founders to angels and venture investors. You will be responsible for the execution of key Investor Relations programs including Investor Office Hours, helping portfolio startups understand different fundraising options and access IR resources, onboarding new investors into our community, and assisting with the launch of new IR initiatives. You\'ll use Capital Factory\'s network of active investors and proprietary software tools to curate matches between investors and founders. You\'ll get three years of venture capital experience in a year by observing large volumes of early stage companies and learning how VCs view and evaluate potential investments. Capital Factory attracts the best startups in the state and connects them with exactly who they need to grow their business - whether that\'s their next partner, mentor, client, employee or investor. Our Ventures Team facilitates all of these interactions - and we\'re seeking a strong leader with a proven background in the startup community to optimize and grow our programming opportunities across Texas. Responsibilities
Make valuable introductions between founders and investors when there is mutual interest. Be the primary point-of-contact for investors, building a long term relationship. Share relevant startups, events, and other opportunities with them, and track their engagement. Organize office hours, in-person and virtual, for investors to meet with relevant portfolio founders. Network with venture capitalists and angel investors to establish deal flow relationships. Attend events with investors and introduce new portfolio companies. Take calls and meetings with investors to understand their investment thesis and which companies to introduce them to. Make curated introductions between investors and our portfolio founders on a regular basis. Attend our weekly Ventures Team Sync, Investor Relations Sync and other relevant meetings. Attend our monthly First Look events. Success Metrics
Founders have an exceptional experience and receive meaningful value from connections made with our investor network. Investor Office Hours program grows with high utilization rates (90%+). Investors rave about the startups they meet with. Strong relationships with VIP stakeholders and regular introductions to new investors. Assigned tasks are completed timely with minimal mistakes; team trusts you to execute independently. Productive collaboration with internal teams, especially Mentor, Venture Programs, and Ops Teams. About You
You have experience with the startup and technology markets. You have a basic understanding of startup funding terms, options, and mechanisms. You like using data to understand problems and make connections. You are organized and plan ahead, but can adapt to last-minute changes. You have a proven ability to manage multiple projects with attention to detail. You can deliver high-quality work on time in a dynamic environment with time pressure.
