About PedalStart - At PedalStart, we run a sector-agnostic early-stage startup accelerator fund. We typically write $100–150k cheques across domains and actively invest in up rounds; we also help founders close Seed and Series A rounds with our VC and family office network. We support founders and back them from ideation. Our mission is to empower founders with the resources and expertise necessary for sustainable rapid scaling.
Role Overview We are seeking an ambitious, articulate, and client-centric Key Account Manager (KAM) with a solid background in banking or wealth advisory. In this role, you will manage and nurture PedalStart's existing network of HNIs, angel investors, and investment partners. You do not need prior venture capital experience — we will train and educate you across each specific industry sector (SaaS, FinTech, D2C, DeepTech, HealthTech, and others). Your primary focus will be leveraging your existing consultative relationship management skills and driving capital deployment.
