Whom are we looking for
A sharp business graduate with 2 to 3 years of exposure to the startup or VC ecosystem, joining as part of the Founders office.

What will be your key responsibilities
A. VC Relationship Management
- Build, own, and strengthen relationships with VC funds, family offices and angel networks.
- Conduct regular in-person meetings with the above parties to understand their investment thesis, sector preferences, cheque sizes, stage focus, and current deployment priorities.
- Maintain a live database of recent investments, active mandates, and key decision-makers.
- Build a high-quality pipeline of investment opportunities for VC partners by curating and sharing vetted startups aligned with their investment mandate.
- Position Treelife as the preferred ecosystem partner for portfolio support across legal, finance, tax, compliance, HR, and strategic advisory services.
B. Portfolio Engagement
- Develop and execute engagement initiatives for VC portfolios through newsletters, ecosystem updates, regulatory explainers, webinars, and curated knowledge content.
- Identify fundraising opportunities within Treelife's existing client base by engaging founders, understanding business performance, runway, fundraising timelines, and capital requirements.
C. Outbound Founder Acquisition and Ecosystem Development
- Proactively scout high-potential startups through ecosystem events, founder communities, accelerators, incubators, LinkedIn, referrals, and market research.
- Represent Treelife at startup conferences, demo days, VC summits, accelerator programs, founder meetups, and networking events.
- Set-up Partner meetings with founders to understand their growth plans, financial runway, fundraising intentions, and advisory needs.
D. Business reporting
- Prepare and maintain reports on departmental P&L;, revenue and wallet size per client for monthly reviews
- Highlight expansion opportunities and flag accounts where share of wallet is shrinking, for the leadership team to act on
E. Internal coordination
- Work with practice teams to source content inputs and convert their technical work into client-facing material
- Support the founders office on growth experiments and account planning inputs
What are the key requirements for the role
- Graduate or postgraduate in business, commerce, economics or a related field
- 2 to 3 years of experience, with demonstrated interest in the startup or VC ecosystem (fund work, founder office stints, ecosystem communities or startup operating roles all count)
- Strong writing skills: you can turn a technical input into something a founder or fund partner will actually read
- Comfort with numbers: Excel or Sheets fluency, and the discipline to keep reports accurate
- Bias for ownership of your work; this role has no playbook yet and you will help write it
- Highly organized. You close loops. You follow up. You do not drop things
- Exposure to startup, legal, financial services, or professional services environments is a plus
- Comfortable working in a quick-moving, lean team where you will build process, not just follow it .
