[Hiring] Chief Financial Officer @Luupli

Role Description

We’re hiring a CFO who can be a true partner to the CEO: bring investor-grade financial leadership, build the finance engine, and help us raise meaningful capital fast. This is a high-ownership role at a pre-seed company. You’ll build structure without slowing us down, and you’ll be comfortable operating as both strategic lead and hands-on doer.

What You’ll Do

• Fundraising + Investor Readiness
  • Partner with the CEO to lead fundraising strategy, investor pipeline, and process execution
  • Strengthen the investor narrative and ensure the deck, model, and data room are diligence-ready
  • Drive investor communications, follow-ups, and weekly momentum tracking to keep the round moving
  • Support term sheet evaluation, negotiation, and closing mechanics
• Financial Strategy + Operating Cadence
  • Own the financial model, runway planning, burn management, and scenario planning
  • Build budget and forecasting disciplines that scale through seed and beyond
  • Create board-ready reporting: KPIs, cash visibility, and decision-grade insights
  • Oversee accounting, controls, and vendors (and build a fractional bench as needed)
• Governance + Compliance
  • Ensure cap table and equity administration readiness for fundraising
  • Establish investor-grade documentation and financial hygiene
  • Put in place lightweight controls and processes that reduce risk and build confidence

Qualifications

• 10+ years of senior finance leadership, ideally in venture-backed startups
• A proven fundraising track record: you’ve helped close meaningful rounds, not just advised
• Strong grasp of venture mechanics: SAFEs/notes, priced rounds, dilution, cap table, and term sheets
• Clear financial storytelling: you can make numbers simple, credible, and compelling
• Comfortable moving fast, making trade-offs, and building structure from scratch
• Bonus: consumer apps, creator economy, marketplaces, or social platform experience

Compensation

• This is an equity-only opportunity at this stage. No salary or retainer.
• Time-based vesting equity: A base equity grant that vests monthly over time (standard vesting schedule), aligned to role scope and commitment.
• Milestone-based equity (fundraising outcomes): Additional equity that vests based on fundraising performance, tied to timeline and amount raised, and earned only on closed funds (not soft commitments).
• All equity and vesting terms will be documented in the CFO agreement before start.
