Who You Are
Why Join Raylu?
Private markets shape which companies get built and how innovation scales - yet origination still runs on manual workflows and fragmented tools. Raylu is building the AI sourcing engine for private markets, so every investor can see more of the market, qualify faster, and move first.
We’re not building generic AI. Raylu is purpose-built for Growth Equity, VC, and PE - already powering sourcing for leading funds with:
- Real-time market maps aligned to your thesis
- Standardized, enriched company signals and benchmarks
- Deep contextual research on emerging companies
- Automated, fund-voice outreach to founders and execs
- Help scale non-outbound sales channels — marketing, community, referrals, and thought leadership — to drive qualified pipeline
- Own marketing efforts on campaigns, content, and experiments that convert top-of-funnel interest into live opportunities
- Become a product expert across our entire platform and understand our competitive landscape
- Support community-building efforts (events, webinars, roundtables, online communities) and turn engagement into meetings and pilots
- Build and manage referral loops with customers, investors, and friends of Raylu to bring in warm, high-intent opportunities
- Help craft and distribute thought leadership (posts, case studies, newsletters) that positions Raylu as the AI sourcing standard in private markets
- Capture market and product feedback to influence GTM strategy and the product roadmap
You thrive in fast-paced, high-intensity environments. You care deeply about your craft, and you’re excited to build inside a startup where your work directly shapes outcomes.
- You are ambitious. You like solving hard, ambiguous problems and pushing what’s possible.
- You are curious and creative. You want to understand AI, markets, and emerging companies—not just send emails.
- You are an owner. You operate autonomously, make good decisions with incomplete information, and take pride in high standards.
- You are analytical and articulate. You can turn fragmented data into sharp insights and clear outreach.
Minimum requirements:
- You have 2+ years of experience and have succeeded in high-growth teams (whether in tech, operations, strategy, consulting, banking, or a related field)
- Strong writing, research, and communication abilities
- You want to learn fast and take ownership
- You are comfortable using AI-driven workflows for research and personalization
- Bonus: Familiarity with private markets (VC, growth equity, PE)

Logistics:
- Compensation: $140K - $190K salary, $50K-100K equivalent in new hire equity (4 year vest)
