About the Role
We are seeking a Founder Community Lead to build and manage the top of our founder funnel, ensuring a consistent supply of prospective founders for new ventures. You will own the Founder Bench, a curated community of pre-vetted founders, and work within the talent team to match them with new ventures.
Responsibilities
- Build a steady flow of experienced founders, operators, and domain experts in our partners' focus areas.
- Conduct initial conversations, document founder profiles, and categorize individuals by archetype, sector, stage, and availability.

- Organize sector-specific founder events, weekly open studio office hours, partner events, and bench gatherings.
- Maintain accurate founder data in the tracker, including archetype, sector, availability, and last contact.
- Keep founders engaged through regular updates, introductions, and early access to new themes.
- Provide the talent team with a curated list of 5-8 founders for each new venture within the first two weeks.
- Report monthly on bench size, quality, diversity, and founder progression through trials and selection.
Requirements
- 3+ years in founder-facing roles (e.g., VC platform/scouting, accelerator/founder programs, startup community building, or founding a company).
- Established network among founders and operators with the ability to expand it.
- Strong ability to assess founder potential and articulate reasoning in writing.
- Proven experience organizing successful events with clear follow-up.
