About the role
About Wefunder
We've raised over a billion dollars for thousands of founders in all 50 states, from ostrich farms to unicorns like Substack, Replit, & Mercury.
We're a Public Benefit Corporation with a mission to keep the American dream alive. We're fighting to keep America defined by optimism, innovation, and opportunity—the best place for the ambitious to turn ideas into reality.
We believe America is full of untapped talent, and that helping more founders get off the ground leads to a better future. Our goal is to help 20,000 more founders get off the ground. We're just getting started.
We're a team of founder types: enjoy autonomy, responsibility, the opportunity to learn, and no red tape. Just make it happen.
The Role
We're looking for someone to be the right hand to Wefunder's founder & CEO. You'll report directly to Nick, master how the operation works today, and position it for serious growth as regulation opens up.
This isn't a caretaker role. You'll set the direction, drive urgency, and keep us profitable — all while staying lean. We'd rather ship smarter with AI, automation, and great product than hire our way out of problems.
If it goes well, you'll step into the CEO seat for the Retail division within 12 to 18 months. Full ownership — strategy, culture, growth. The whole thing.
Location & Culture
We're strong believers in an in-person culture. Our HQ is in San Francisco — we have two offices, one in the Mission and one in Seacliff with a view of the Golden Gate Bridge.
We're a small team of ~30 that hires carefully. In this new AI world, one star can outcompete 10 average people. We'd rather stay lean, move fast, and spend our time building — not navigating big-company bureaucracy.
