about build3

We’re a mission driven startup studio (read more here) that builds impact oriented startups to better the mind, body and the earth. We work with Founders as their institutional co-founder until their venture is a self sufficient organization and ready to scale. But we are not advisors, mentors, investors, incubators or accelerators - we are all of these! We are always co-building with the Founder, creatively, conscientiously, through the power of communities.

what we're building

At build3, we believe that the next generation of unicorns will be built on the foundation of "Purpose + Profit." We work with nearly 400 early-stage founders annually, helping them transition from idea to impact.
We are looking for a powerhouse Chief Fundraising Officer to lead our capital strategy. This is a dual-track role: you will be responsible for raising our $15-20M studio fund to deploy pre-seed checks into 50 startups a year, while simultaneously acting as a strategic advisor to our founders as they navigate their own external funding journeys.

your mission, should you choose to accept (accountabilities)

1. Studio Fundraising (The $20M Goal)

Narrative Crafting: Build a compelling investment case for build3. You’ll turn our impact and data into a "must-invest" story for LPs.
Lp Mapping & Outreach: Identify and engage with a diverse range of capital sources—Domestic and International VCs, Family Offices, Impact Funds, and CSR arms.
Full-Cycle Management: Own the pipeline. From the first "hello" to the final signature, you’ll manage the CRM, due diligence, and closing process.

2. Founder Enablement (The Portfolio Guide)

The "Fundraising Coach": Guide our portfolio founders in building their own narratives, pitch decks, and financial models.
Capital Diversification: Help founders tap into non-dilutive capital (grants, CSR) as well as traditional equity (Angels, VCs).
Network Access: Open doors. Leverage your existing network to create a steady "investor-readiness" pipeline for our 50 annual pre-seed companies.

what makes a strong fit for this role

A Master Storyteller: You can take complex impact metrics and turn them into a high-octane growth narrative.
The "Process" Nerd: You live in your CRM (HubSpot, Pipedrive, or similar). You know that fundraising is a game of momentum, follow-ups, and diligent tracking.
Ecosystem Fluent: You understand the Indian startup landscape (-1 to 1) and have an existing rolodex of angels, VCs, and impact investors.
Impact-First: You genuinely care about "purpose" and can articulate why profit and planet/people are not mutually exclusive.

what you can expect from us

For sufficiently qualified candidates compensation is fixed up to INR 1 Lakh + profit share (similar to carried interest), applicable for professionals with 8–12+ Years in VC, Investment Banking, or Impact Finance. For candidates with lower experience but strong potential, compensation will be adjusted in line with risk and expected growth.
Support in finding a temporary landing pad in Goa during your time here. Access to our shared dorm-style accommodation at no additional cost (if you are comfortable with shared living spaces).
A collaborative, mission-driven environment focused on building high-impact startups that matter.

what sets us apart

Be around energetic, and mission oriented people
A lot of freedom and responsibility
Experience working with well heeled entrepreneurs and enthusiastic community members
Work on a variety of projects
We compensate frugally at first, but we will share generously the value we create together
Here are our values!
