The nitty gritty
We’re looking for a GM to head our BoldCXO program. The CXO program is a core part of Boldstart’s value proposition as a VC firm. Besides investing capital into a business we actively support our companies by connecting them with enterprise executives in their target markets to accelerate their go to market strategies and to gather market and product feedback.
This position is best suited for someone that likes to network, be front and center to make things happen, and plan events that facilitate portfolio / cxo connections. You’ll need good communication skills, including the ability to develop content about our portfolio companies, and have marketing skills to make sure events are well-attended. This position requires some multitasking and lots of hard work, but most of all a positive winning attitude that wants to see Boldstart and our portfolio of companies succeed. You’ll be a front-facing representative of Boldstart so only people with professionalism, high integrity and a strong emotional IQ qualify.
**This is not an investing role but since we are a small team, you will get broad exposure to how startups build and grow in the enterprise markets.
Objectives:
Our GM will manage our CXO network, raise portfolio awareness amongst our CXO community, work with our founders and organize events. The main objective of this position is to help our newly emerging companies gain exposure to qualified enterprise design partners so they can gather feedback and acquire their first customers. Often this will be the first sales exposure for our companies so careful matching and subsequently, careful planning is key to success. By bringing our founders and technology executives together we help jump start business relationships and create overall portfolio value. Although this is not a sales role, you will be working directly with our portfolio execs and Fortune 1000 technology leaders with the mission to help generate interest in boldstart’s portfolio.
Responsibilities:
Further develop and manage our CXO network by
Developing new relationships with CIOs, heads of IT, digital transformation leaders, understanding company technology roadmaps, pain points and priorities
Manage and build our CXO Advisory board
Promote and match the BOLDstart portfolio to CXO executives
Work closely with boldstart portfolio cos to understand value proposition and target
Develop content to manage and grow the network and generate interest for our portfolio
Plan and manage Boldstart events
Organize dinners, lunches, and “jam sessions” for CXOs and portfolio executives
Represent boldstart at corporate IT and other trade events
What We’re Looking For:
4-6 years of experience working with either Fortune 1000 IT execs, at a startup in business/corporate development, or a prior role at VC/Accelerator with platform/ops background
Passionate about working in a fast moving, collaborative environment with next-generation startups
Excitement around driving new initiatives, building processes and taking pride being a self starter who thrives working in a collegial, action oriented environment
Intellectually curious, loves startups and enterprise tech, always reading and catching up on latest industry news
About BOLDstart:
We are a venture capital firm based in New York City that leads seed investments in the ever-changing enterprise technology stack. We’re successful when we have happy, well supported founding teams and we generate market leading returns for our investors.
