We're the Robinhood for pre-IPO startups. We allow everyone to invest $100 in a startup they love.

Over the past five years, we've helped fund over 900 startups with $500m – including flying cars, space rockets, breweries, Hollywood studios, and potential Ebola cures.

We’re now doubling the size of our team to handle the growth. Trying to keep up!

We’re also a public benefit corporation with a mission of saving the American Dream (https://wefunder.com/charter). Our aim is to sprinkle the Silicon Valley fairy dust across the rest of the country, which often don’t have the same opportunities we take for granted.

We help everyday people to invest in the startups they love.

Wefunder is the largest funding platform that helps everyday people invest in startups they love. Over the past few years, we've helped fund over 1,000 pre-IPO startups with $500M+, from early-stage moonshots to unicorns.

In 2021, regulatory reform put Community Rounds on the map - and since then, we’ve helped Substack, Mercury, Levels, and thousands of other startups raise money from their customers and community. We built this space from the ground up, and now we’re looking for someone to lead our back office operations.

Why Wefunder

Note: This position is based in San Francisco.

We’re a team of founder types. Your potential matters more than your background or experience; we’re the company where you can take your shot. Everyone is here to learn and grow, to work on a meaningful product, and to fix capitalism. We’ve spent years lobbying congress to fix the law, and in turn, created this industry.

• Competitive salary and stock options package.
• Unlimited vacation days with no less than 3 weeks off.
• Medical, dental, & vision insurance.
• 401(k) match.
• Apple equipment.
• Lots of free food and drinks. This includes daily lunch and weekly team breakfast and dinner.
• Classes & conferences. If you can learn something useful, we'll pay for it.

Your Role:

• Correspond with high-value stakeholders. There will be many events that occur that will require clear communication with founders, such as tax requirements, event updates for investors, etc. You will help founders with investor communications to ensure post-funding related activities are well coordinated.
• Handle taxes. Manage 150+ SPVs as well as taxable events for our funds every year. This will require meticulous management of all parties involved - from founders, to our team, to external CPAs.
• Manage post-funding events. Ensure smooth post-funding processes. M&As, follow on financings, failures, etc. happen all the time. Not all founders/investors are familiar with such processes. You will be there to help founders and investors navigate these events.
• Analyze and validate portfolio company investment data. Help improve the portfolio view that allows investors see how their investments are doing.
• Be the internal champion for founders and investors after raising on Wefunder. Advocate for them, empathize with them, set clear expectations for them.

Skills & Experience:

• Incredible attention to detail. You understand how contracts work and make sure key intricacies are not overlooked.
• Quick learner/curious. You learn very quickly and have an innate curiosity to dive deeper. You will need to learn how funds work in the crowdfunding world.
• Initiative, drive, and urgency to solve problems. You will solve issues and develop systems to do it faster over time. You’ll leave your mark on how we do things and grow with the company.
• Ruthless prioritization. You will be the primary point person for founders as they go through the crazy process of fundraising on top of having dozens of competing priorities. You know how to get things done while also building for the future.
• Excellent communication. You can code-switch between building rapport with CEOs, alleviating concerns from skeptical CFOs, discussing valuations with investors, and fielding questions from diligent attorneys.
• Ability to thrive in ambiguity. You’re comfortable learning quickly and asking a lot of questions. You prefer being thrown in the deep end. You aspire to learn every small detail about the fundraising process.
• You’re extremely accountable and reliable. If you say you’ll do something, you’ll get it done.
• Have experience with Fund Operations (preferred). Experience with fund management and taxes is preferred for this job.

If you feel like you don't meet all of the points above, but love this role, we encourage you to apply anyways. We don't want a confidence gap and imposter syndrome to get in the way of meeting incredible candidates.
