About Nuvex Nova
Nuvex Nova is building an on-demand marketplace connecting homeowners, businesses, commercial properties, and enterprise organizations with vetted, background-checked skilled tradespeople across electrical, plumbing, HVAC, carpentry, painting, landscaping, maintenance, and other essential property services.
Our goal is to build the infrastructure that makes finding, deploying, and managing reliable skilled trades significantly faster, more transparent, and more dependable for both individual customers and large organizations.
As Nuvex Nova enters its next stage of growth, we are looking for a Founding Fundraising Manager who can take ownership of capital formation, work directly alongside our Founder & CEO, and help position the company for institutional investment.
This position is designed to transition into the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) role as Nuvex Nova successfully raises its seed financing and builds out its financial organization.
The Opportunity
This is not a traditional fundraising coordinator position.
We are looking for someone who can become a key member of Nuvex Nova’s founding leadership team and take an active role in building and executing our fundraising strategy.
Your immediate mandate will be capital formation.
You will work directly with the Founder & CEO to identify investors, build investor relationships, secure introductions and meetings, manage our fundraising pipeline, prepare investor materials, support financial modeling and due diligence, and help move investment conversations from initial outreach through closing.
We are specifically looking for someone who understands the early-stage capital environment and knows how to create a disciplined fundraising process rather than simply sending investor outreach.
The ideal candidate understands that fundraising requires relationship building, persistence, financial storytelling, investor targeting, follow-up, due diligence, negotiation, and execution.
As Nuvex Nova reaches its financing and growth milestones, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to transition from Founding Fundraising Manager into Chief Financial Officer, taking broader responsibility for the company’s financial strategy, planning, reporting, capital allocation, and future financing activities.
Primary Mandate: Capital Formation & Fundraising
You will work directly with the Founder & CEO to develop and execute Nuvex Nova’s pre-seed and seed capital strategy.
Responsibilities include
Build and execute a structured pre-seed/seed fundraising strategy.
Develop and maintain a qualified investor pipeline.
Identify venture capital firms, angel investors, family offices, strategic investors, and other appropriate capital partners.
Conduct targeted investor research and determine which investors best align with Nuvex Nova’s stage, market, and financing objectives.
Leverage existing investor relationships where applicable while continuously developing new relationships.
Secure introductions and meetings with qualified prospective investors.
Conduct direct investor outreach and manage ongoing investor communications.
Work closely with the Founder & CEO in investor meetings and presentations.
Manage investor follow-ups and maintain momentum throughout the fundraising process.
Track investor conversations, stages, next steps, objections, and commitments.
Help develop fundraising targets, milestones, financing strategy, and use of proceeds.
Coordinate fundraising timelines and maintain accountability across the process.
Assist leadership in evaluating potential financing structures.
Help management understand capitalization, dilution, valuation, and financing scenarios.
Coordinate financial and business due diligence.
Help build and maintain the company’s investor data room.
Work alongside leadership, legal counsel, accountants, and other advisors during term-sheet and closing processes.
Maintain relationships with investors even when they are not immediately participating in the current round.
Develop a long-term investor network that can support Nuvex Nova beyond its initial seed financing.
A major measure of success in this position will be the ability to build a credible investor pipeline, generate qualified investor conversations, move those conversations through the fundraising process, and help Nuvex Nova successfully secure institutional capital.
Investor Relations & Pipeline Management
We expect this person to treat fundraising as a structured business-development process.
You will establish and manage a fundraising pipeline covering:
Target Investor → Introduction/Outreach → Initial Conversation → Investor Meeting → Follow-Up → Due Diligence → Partner/Investment Committee Discussions → Term Sheet → Closing
You will work with the Founder & CEO to determine where each investor stands and what actions are required to advance each opportunity.
This includes maintaining investor records, documenting conversations, coordinating follow-ups, preparing requested information, identifying stalled conversations, and ensuring promising opportunities do not fall through the cracks.
Financial Strategy & Investor Readiness
While fundraising will be the immediate priority, this position is intentionally designed for someone capable of eventually becoming Nuvex Nova’s CFO.
You will therefore work alongside leadership to build the financial foundation required to support fundraising and long-term growth.
Responsibilities will include
Build and maintain Nuvex Nova’s financial model.
Develop revenue, expense, cash-flow, hiring, and growth forecasts.
Create financial projections appropriate for investor presentations and due diligence.
Build scenario and sensitivity models around growth and capital requirements.
Analyze company burn rate and cash runway.
Develop use-of-funds models for proposed financing rounds.
Help establish budgets and financial controls.
Help define financial and operational KPIs.
Support unit-economics analysis.
Maintain capitalization and ownership models.
Model potential dilution under different financing scenarios.
Help management evaluate financial implications of proposed investment terms.
Develop financial reporting appropriate for investors and company leadership.
Help determine how capital should be allocated following financing.
Begin building financial infrastructure capable of supporting Nuvex Nova as it scales.
Fundraising Materials & Financial Storytelling An important part of this role is helping Nuvex Nova communicate its opportunity clearly and credibly to investors.
You will work closely with the Founder & CEO on:
Investor pitch materials
Financial models and projections
Investor target lists
Fundraising strategy
Data-room preparation
Use-of-funds models
Market analysis
Unit-economics analysis
Investor updates
Due-diligence materials
Financial presentations
Capitalization and dilution models
Board and shareholder financial reporting as the company grows
You should be able to understand Nuvex Nova’s business model deeply enough to confidently discuss the company’s economics, assumptions, capital requirements, market opportunity, growth strategy, and path toward scale with sophisticated investors.
Transition to Chief Financial Officer
This position has a defined leadership trajectory.
The initial position will be:
Founding Fundraising Manager The intended progression is:
Founding Fundraising Manager → Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

Venture-backed technology companies

Ideal Candidate
You may be a strong fit if you:
Have participated in or led startup fundraising processes.
Understand pre-seed, seed, and venture financing.
Know how to identify and qualify investors.
Understand how to build and manage a professional investor pipeline.
Can conduct investor outreach and confidently develop relationships.
Can secure introductions and meetings with relevant investors.
Have existing relationships with investors or know how to develop those relationships quickly.
Understand what VCs and institutional investors evaluate when considering early-stage investments.
Have experience preparing companies for investor due diligence.
Understand financial modeling and startup economics.
Understand cap tables, dilution, valuation, runway, burn, and financing scenarios.
Can communicate confidently with founders, investors, attorneys, accountants, executives, and board members.
Are highly organized and disciplined with follow-ups.
Can manage multiple investor conversations simultaneously.
Can operate strategically while remaining hands-on.
Are comfortable working in an early-stage environment where systems still need to be built.
Want to grow into an executive financial leadership position rather than remain solely in fundraising.
Existing relationships with venture capital firms, angel investors, family offices, institutional investors, strategic investors, accelerators, and other capital sources are highly desirable.
What This Role Is Not
This is not simply an accounting position.
It is also not a position where the individual waits for the Founder & CEO to provide investor leads.
We are looking for someone who will actively help build the fundraising engine.
The Founder & CEO will remain directly involved in fundraising, investor meetings, company storytelling, negotiations, and strategic relationships. The Fundraising Manager will work alongside the CEO to create the structure, pipeline, financial preparation, and execution required to move the financing process forward.
The immediate priority is
Capital formation. Investor relationships. Financial readiness. Fundraising execution.
As the company becomes funded and grows, the role will increasingly shift toward broader financial leadership.
Compensation & Equity
This is an early-stage founding-team opportunity.
The Founding Fundraising Manager will initially receive an equity stake in Nuvex Nova, subject to definitive agreements, vesting requirements, company approval, and applicable securities and employment laws.
At this stage, the position is structured primarily around equity participation because Nuvex Nova is currently focused on completing its seed financing.
Upon completion of a qualifying seed financing, the position is expected to transition to a salary + equity structure, with compensation determined based on the financing completed, company resources, responsibilities, experience, performance, and market considerations.
The successful candidate may also be considered for promotion to Chief Financial Officer, subject to performance, company needs, qualifications, and formal company approval.
This structure is designed for someone who understands both the risk and potential upside of joining an early-stage company and wants meaningful participation in the value they help create.
Why Join Nuvex Nova
This is an opportunity to join Nuvex Nova during a formative stage and directly influence how the company is financed and built.
You will work closely with the Founder & CEO rather than entering a large finance department with an already-established structure.
You’ll help build that structure.
You’ll have meaningful involvement in:
Fundraising. Capital strategy. Investor relationships. Financial modeling. Investor readiness. Capital allocation. Financial infrastructure.
Most importantly, this position offers a path beyond fundraising.
We are looking for someone who wants to prove their ability as a capital-formation leader and develop into a true financial partner to the Founder & CEO as Nuvex Nova’s future CFO.
If you understand how to connect ambitious companies with the capital required to scale — and you want the opportunity to help build the financial organization that follows — we want to hear from you.**
