    OUR PITCH PITCH

    Ulule's wish is to be as close as possible to creators who want to make an impact and to ensure they have the best chance of success. This is why, each month, in different cities worldwide, we organize a themed Pitch Pitch event where we shine the spotlight on a selection of entrepreneurs, makers and creators. They pitch their project in front of a crowd, celebrate the launch of their crowdfunding campaign and they can win special prizes! Gathering a community of entrepreneurs and contributors is always fun and refreshing.

    COMMUNITY CAPTAIN

    We're seeking energetic people to represent Ulule as official Community Captains in San Francisco!

    As a Community Captain, your role is to harvest relationships with a community of entrepreneurs, creators and makers that do not yet realize the power of crowdfunding!

    You'll be in charge of organizing Pitch Pitch Initiatives on the theme of positive impact.

    Your mission will be:

    • To actively reach out and source entrepreneurs, makers and creators for each Pitch Pitch Initiative  (cold calls, emailing, networking, follow-ups…)
    • To onboard and provide initial support to project creators and to roll out a successful crowdfunding campaign
    • To create and maintain local partnerships with organizations such as incubators, accelerators, and universities
    • To organize the event in terms of logistics and communications
    • To represent Ulule at specific events or seminars to present our crowdfunding approach

    WHAT WOULD A TYPICAL WEEK AS A COMMUNITY CAPTAIN LOOK LIKE?

    • Inspiring: you'll reach out to SOOOO many inspiring entrepreneurs and creators! You'll call them and advise them on how they could use crowdfunding to launch or develop their projects.
    • Challenging: your goal is to maximize the number of project creators onboarded to launch their crowdfunding campaign! You'll go through a soft-sales training that will teach you to sell the idea of our Pitch Pitch initiatives.
    • Rewarding: you'll help project owners actually give birth to their projects! You'll organize awesome events that foster local innovation, creativity and social / environmental impact! You will also be officially recognized on our website as a Captain, so it's terrific work experience to add to your resume.
    • Flexible: you'll manage your hours as you'd like! You'll report to our Program Manager weekly or as required.

     

    We will provide complete training so that you have all the tools to create successful Pitch Pitch Initiatives.

    Our Pitch Pitch initiatives are strategic growth operations: it's an opportunity to empower entrepreneurs at scale, make an impact within a B corp company, and above all, to have A LOT OF FUN!
