Role Overview As an Associate in Venture Sourcing & Portfolio Success, you will be the primary engine driving high-potential deal flow to the Nucleo platform. You will identify the next generation of breakout startups, guide them through the Nucleo onboarding journey, and ensure their fundraising deals are meticulously prepared for investor screening. Beyond the initial signup, you will serve as the bridge between Nucleo and its alumni, maintaining relationships with startups that have successfully raised capital to track their growth and ongoing needs.

Key Responsibilities

Deal Submission : Follow up rigorously with founders to ensure they complete their fundraising deal profiles and submit all necessary documentation for internal screening. Quality Control :Ensure that every deal going "live" to our investor network meets Nucleo’s high standards for clarity, data integrity, and skilled presentation.

3. Portfolio Success & Relationship Management





Post-Raise Engagement :Act as the dedicated point of contact for startups that have already successfully raised funds on the platform. Ongoing Updates : Conduct regular check-ins to gather current growth metrics, milestones, and "use of funds" updates to share with relevant stakeholders. Retention :Identify opportunities to support existing startups with follow-on rounds or additional platform features.

Requirements : Experience : 1-3 years in venture capital, startup incubation, or a high-growth business development role. Ecosystem Knowledge : Strong understanding of the startup lifecycle, fundraising mechanics (Cap Tables, Term Sheets, Data Rooms), and what investors look for in a deal.

Communication :Exceptional interpersonal skills; you must be able to speak the language of founders and the language of investors with equal fluency.
