About The Role
As a Founder Associate, you'll work directly alongside the founders, helping turn ideas into execution across operations, finance, content, events, partnerships, and strategic initiatives.
This isn't a traditional graduate role or an administrative position. It's designed for builders who enjoy solving problems, taking ownership, and making things happen. Every week will be different, whether improving operational processes, launching initiatives, supporting financial reporting, growing partnerships, or driving content experiments.
