Wefunder's Story 💡 communityround.com/case-studies/wefunder
Our Public Benefit Corp Mission 🎙 https://wefunder.com/charter
The Role
Wefunder is launching in the European Union. We launched in the US in 2012. Four years later the laws rolled out allowing us to operate, but it took until 2021 for them to be workable. Luckily, the EU just rolled out new laws that are as good as the current US laws, so there’s a lot of potential to scale quickly.
We want to bring on a Head of Partnerships to join our small launch team. In this role, you will build strategic relationships with local angel investors, startup accelerators, and VCs. Our goal is to partner with them on inspiring 20,000 more founders to get started. We want to encourage founders to think bigger, hone their pitch, and give them the funding they need to prove to the "normals" in the world that they are not crazy (or, at least, crazy in a lucrative way).
You will...
