About The Position

DealMaker is a fast-growing fintech company revolutionizing the capital markets ecosystem with a mission to make online capital raising mainstream. We empower founders, CEOs, and operators to raise capital digitally, both from their own communities and through strategically marketed campaigns. No other platform provides an end-to-end solution like ours—and our track record speaks for itself, with over $2B raised across 1,000+ campaigns. We power the largest online capital raises for customers like EnergyX ($88M), Green Bay Packers ($65M), Miso Robotics ($72M+), Monogram Orthopaedics (Nasdaq:MGRM) and many others, with 3 IPOs in the past year alone. We are quickly expanding our horizons and are seeking talented team members to join us on our journey to transform the global capital market. About DealMaker, from the People perspective We are approximately 200 people across Toronto, Los Angeles, New York, and Medellín, operating at the intersection of technology, performance marketing, capital markets, and customer experience. Our co-founders built their careers as capital markets lawyers, and that discipline still shapes how we operate. We encourage decisions to have a clear reason behind them, leaders to know their business, and people to take real ownership of outcomes. We move quickly, speak directly, and care more about solving the problem than protecting the process. We are building a lean, AI-enabled company where strong people are trusted with meaningful responsibility and expected to use judgment. The People team plays an important role in making that possible. Our job is not to add layers or slow the company down. It is to build the systems, leadership capability, and operating clarity that help great people do their best work.
