About 8fundraising
8fundraising is a Top 59 Business publication on Substack that helps founders, fund managers, and real estate sponsors run capital raises with AI-driven systems. We combine 8Raise, our investor discovery platform, and 8MKT, our AI marketing engine, into one system that powers capital raises for founders, fund managers, and sponsors.
About the role
We're hiring a Closer. Fully remote, base salary plus uncapped commission, equity on the table for the right person.
The role runs on two motions. We hand you a calendar of booked calls with founders and fund managers who are actively raising and already want to talk. On top of that, you build your own. We give you the platform, the data, the content engine and the ideas, and you go find the deals nobody handed you.
That second motion is what separates a closer from a great one. The inbound pays your commission. The outbound is where you build a book that's yours.
We're looking for one specific profile: someone who has sold technology and also sat on the capital side. Investment banking, family office, VC, PE, placement, investor relations. You've been in the room where capital gets allocated, so when a founder talks about their round you answer as a peer, not as a vendor. That credibility is the whole job, and it's what makes your outbound land when everyone else's gets ignored.
We've booked over 250 calls in 20 days from content alone. The demand side works. The close rate is where we want a professional.
What you'll do
Inbound
* Run the booked calls we hand you → discovery, pitch, objections, close, same call
* Close on the call, or lock a dated next step before you hang up → "I'll think about it" is a loss you own
* Own the deal desk → proposals, pricing conversations, and getting the agreement signed
* Follow up like a banker chasing a signature → same day, structured, with a deadline
Outbound
* Build your own pipeline → we give you 8Raise, the data, and the playbook; you decide who's worth a conversation
* Work your network → founders, fund managers and sponsors you already know who are raising, plus the ones they introduce you to
* Put content out around the brand → we provide the ideas and the approach that booked those 250 calls, you put your name on it
* Open doors cold when you have to → LinkedIn, email, events, warm intros, whatever gets the meeting
Both
* Become the account owner once they sign → the client is yours
* Keep the CRM accurate at all times → every call logged, every next step dated
* Feed the market back to us → you're closest to the buyer, and your notes shape the offer
What we're looking for
* A closer, not a coordinator → you've personally run and closed deals, and you can show the numbers: deal count, ticket size, close rate, quota attainment
* You can also hunt → you've built pipeline from zero before, not just worked a list someone handed you
* Capital markets background → 4+ years total in sales, including at least 2 in investment banking, a family office, VC, PE, placement, or investor relations
* You speak the language of a raise → term sheets, round structure, investor targeting, dilution, all without notes
* Real tech sales → you've sold software or a technical service and you can run a demo without a solutions engineer holding your hand
* Real AI fluency → you use AI tools every day and you can explain an outreach engine, a CRM, and an automation stack to a non-technical founder
* Strong writing → you'll be creating posts and writing your own outbound, so clear, sharp writing matters
* Fluent English, spoken and written → full professional proficiency (Spanish a plus)
* You want variable pay → this seat rewards performance, not tenure
* Self-starter → remote means remote; we measure closes, not hours
* Available 14:00 to 22:00 CET (08:00 to 16:00 US Eastern) → that's when founders book
What we offer
* Base salary plus uncapped commission on every deal you close, paid monthly
* A higher commission rate on the deals you source yourself → we want you hunting
* Equity for the person who proves it → option grant after three consecutive months at target
* A calendar that's already full on day one → so your outbound compounds instead of carrying you
* Our full stack behind you → 8Raise for investor and prospect data, 8MKT for content, a brand founders already read
* Fully remote → work from anywhere
* Real ownership → you're our first closer, and you'll shape how we sell
