Founder Associates
Put your skills and connections to work helping businesses grow. Explore commercial projects in recruitment, business development, partnerships and founder support, with responsibilities and commission terms agreed upfront.
Turn your strengths into meaningful contributions.
The Founder Associate pathway is for proactive people who want to contribute to business growth. Bring your experience, initiative and willingness to follow through, then explore opportunities where your strengths meet a genuine commercial need.
Find the right fit for your skills.
You might enjoy finding talent, connecting businesses, developing sales opportunities or coordinating projects. A screening call helps us understand your experience, interests and availability so we can discuss suitable ways to get involved.
Know what you're working towards.
Before starting a project, agree the scope, responsibilities, commission structure and payment conditions. Understand what success looks like, who owns each step and when commission becomes payable.
Contribute to real commercial opportunities.
Depending on the project, you could source candidates, introduce potential customers, develop partnerships or support delivery. Focus on relevant opportunities, clear communication and useful outcomes rather than activity for its own sake.
Build relationships alongside your work.
Use the Networking Hub to introduce yourself, share your strengths and connect with founders, fellow Associates and partners. Community discussions and resources can help you learn, find collaborators and contribute beyond an individual project.
Start with a conversation.
Book a screening call to discuss what you can offer and the opportunities you're interested in. If there's a suitable fit, we'll agree the next steps. The Founder Associate pathway is commission-based, not a salaried position; project availability and earnings are not guaranteed.
