Company Description
Seed to IPO Governance helps founders and regulated businesses build the legal and governance foundations needed to withstand investor and regulatory scrutiny. The firm partners with VC portfolio companies, funded startups, and enterprises to identify and close gaps that can derail deals, delay rounds, or reduce valuations.
Founder Relations & Admissions Manager
Seed to IPO Governance™ | Part-time Contractor | Remote | London-based
Overview
This role exists for one purpose: to identify, engage and guide exceptional founders through the admissions journey into The Founders Room®. The role has one measurable objective: to move exceptional founders from first contact to confirmed participant.
The Founders Room® is a private, invitation-only experience for founders preparing for significant institutional capital. This is not a sales role. Founders are not sold to. They are selected. Your role is to open the right conversations, guide founders through a thoughtful admissions journey, and ensure every interaction reflects the standard of The Founders Room®.
