Business Development Rep - Network & Event Referrals
We're hiring a Business Development Rep! We are in stealth mode, building something special at a critical moment in time and the first team to execute captures everything. If you one of these profiles describes you, this role was built for you: Insurance producers / financial advisors with HNW books of business Retired or transitioning real estate professionals Executive recruiters / staffing reps who know C-suite contacts Wealth management adjacents (wholesalers, private bankers) Ex-founders with active investor relationships We're structured for professionals who have existing commitments: Flexible Title: Can tailor to reflect your skills & experience. Flexible Time: Can do full-time, part-time, side-gig (off-hours), or fractional (contract). Flexible Commitment: Can do short-term, long-term, or intermittent. Why so flexible? We're racing to launch in 60 days. You’re welcome to jump in, help us ship, then feel free to bounce or stick around. A successful launch translates into lots of permanent jobs for those that want them. We're also interested in long-term "side gig" relationships — in our experience, a few expert hours often beat full-time learning-curve hours. About The Role You're looking for investors. Work your network. Reach out, book calls, ask for referrals, attend startup/investor pitch events. The trick: ask for introductions, not money. Those who are interested will raise their hand. No IR experience required. We need fresh networks. Accredited investors = $200k+ income or $1M+ net worth; doctors, execs, professionals. You know several. You don't need to know how to pitch a deal — we handle that. You just need to know the right people and be willing to make introductions. We'll do the rest. Two ways to participate: (a) Generate leads and hand off to our closers, or (b) Generate and close yourself — a great way to learn from a team that's done it before. Scripts and support provided. You generate activity; we don't feed leads.
About Us
We're a credible, funded, remote-first startup led by a serial [technical] founder, and backed by a 20-person team. The product is live in private alpha. Why funded and still raising? We've raised seed capital. Enough to know the process and pitch works. Now we're raising to scale — ship the product, build the team, and execute. That's why we're building our investor relations team. Learn more about our founder, team, and comp structures at list-lab.org.
