Role Overview

This is a founding BDR role. You will build outbound engagement from the ground up alongside a founding BD team , work directly with the leadership team , and own the results.

The work sits at the intersection of talent research and recruitment across Cybersecurity, next-gen AI, Engineering, Distributed Data, Enterprise SaaS, Vertical SaaS, FinTech, Product Engineering, Embedded Systems, Semiconductor, Hardware, MarTech, and AdTech.

Most early customer conversations have come through founder connections, word-of-mouth, and the broader DeepTech startup ecosystem

- which means if you know how to turn relationships into conversations, you will hit the ground running.

What You'll Do

- Own outbound prospecting across LinkedIn, email, cold calling, founder networks, and events
- Build conversations with founders, engineering leaders, and decision-makers across the startup and DeepTech ecosystem

- Use AI tools to personalize outreach and scale your output without sacrificing quality
- Understand a narrow client ecosystem and build highly targeted conversations through a founder lens

- Identify opportunities across startup hiring, executive hiring, C2H, and talent partnerships

What You Bring Experience & Background

- 1–3 years of experience in a 100% outbound BDR or SDR role, or strong conviction and big-picture thinking in outbound sales
- Experience in an early-stage startup, small or lesser-known company, or niche ecosystem
- Strong understanding of startup environments and founder-led businesses
- Recruiting or sales experience is not mandatory
- strong outbound ability, curiosity, and relationship-building matter more

- Demonstrated ability to build conversations through networks,



referrals, and ecosystem connections

Skills & Approach

- Active, fluent use of AI tools in your day-to-day workflow
- Ability to back up your results with numbers: outreach, conversations, meetings booked, and conversion
- Comfortable operating without a playbook and building processes as you go
- Strong communication skills and the ability to approach conversations through a founder lens
