About the role

This is a paid independent contractor opportunity for a candidate based in San Francisco Bay Area. Acquisition Network is hiring a Venture Scout to build relationships with founders who are preparing to raise capital in San Francisco Bay Area. The work includes researching the local startup ecosystem, speaking with founders about their goals and timing, identifying when an introductory conversation may be useful, and coordinating a consent-based introduction to our team. You will keep accurate notes and follow up on agreed next steps. This is an ongoing role for someone who can develop trusted founder relationships, rather than submit lists of names. You may be a founder, operator, investor, accelerator participant, or startup business development professional. Strong communication, sound judgment, and respect for confidential information matter more than a particular title. Acquisition Network is an equal opportunity employer.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
