Investor Relations Associate

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.
