Growth Partner / COO (Equity-Based) | Invest Connect Marketplace

? London (Remote-friendly) | ? Equity-Only Role | ? Mission-Driven Startup

Are you a natural connector with a passion for startups, funding, and community-building?

We’re looking for a driven, well-networked Growth Partner / COO to help shape the future of early-stage innovation and investment.

? About Us:

At Invest Connect Marketplace, we’re on a mission to solve one of the biggest paradoxes in the startup world:

? “You need traction to raise funding. But you need funding to build traction.”

We're building a tech-enabled platform that connects early-stage founders, investors, and startup service providers in one collaborative ecosystem—where innovation, funding, and opportunity meet. We're currently in soft launch and gaining momentum.

? Your Role:

As our Growth Partner / COO, you will:

• Drive Growth Strategy: Own and lead the go-to-market strategy to grow platform visibility, traction, and user adoption.
• Lead Business Development: Bring in founders, investors, and service providers by forging strategic partnerships and collaborations - email marketing, events, campaign, community building, cold reach, organic growth, digital marketing etc
• Elevate Brand Presence: Represent ICM in the startup & investor communities (events, panels, social).
• Build Network Effects: Leverage your existing relationships to bring valuable connections to the platform.
• Support Fundraising Efforts: Free up the founder to focus fully on fundraising by managing and scaling operations.

? What We're Looking For:

• Strong presence in the startup ecosystem or investor network (VCs, angels, accelerators, founder communities).
• A charismatic communicator with an enchanting personality—people remember you and trust you.
• Proven experience in growth, partnerships, or COO-level roles.
• Ability to lead with vision and get hands-on in a fast-moving startup environment.
• Passion for inclusive innovation and the startup community.
• Comfortable working in an equity-first role at this early stage (equity structured upon discussion).

? What We Offer:

• Founding-level equity in a purpose-driven platform
• A chance to build something from the ground up that makes a real impact
• Freedom to shape your own role and the future of a growing tech startup
• A collaborative, ambitious, and inclusive team culture
• It is a parttime job upto 2~3 days/week and the individual can take up other job as well.

? Ready to Co-Build With Us?

If this speaks to you—and you’re ready to lead growth while driving meaningful change in the startup funding landscape—let’s talk.
