• Written and verbal communication skills (by the way, one of our values is being upfront and honest)

• Interested in fundraising: ensure a high quality, streamlined experience for limited partners

• Comfortable working in a startup environment (we move FAST) 

How you will know how awesome you are:

• Conversion metrics through the pipeline and seeing leads convert to secured fund investments
