Stand Together Ventures Lead (Development & Fundraising)
About The Position
Stand Together is a philanthropic community that helps America’s boldest changemakers tackle the root causes of our country’s biggest problems, from education to the economy, broken communities, and toxic division, among dozens of other pressing issues . We provide our partners with access to resources including funding, thought leadership, a network of peers, and a playbook for applying proven principles to transform lives and society. Stand Together Ventures is building a community of entrepreneurial partners—founders, investors, and builders—who are accelerating Stand Together’s boldest strategies through their time, talent, and resources. These are not passive donors. They are partners in transformation. We’re looking for a leader to guide and grow this network—someone with firsthand experience in entrepreneurship or building incredible things, and the vision to shape this group into the future of Stand Together. You’ll help early-stage entrepreneurs realize their potential and play catalytic roles in our efforts to Define the American Dream through transforming education, unleashing economic opportunity, strengthening communities, and bridging the divides that are threatening to tear our country apart. If you’ve built companies, communities, or capital networks—and you’re ready to do the same in social change—let's talk!
Requirements
- Deep alignment with the Principles of Human Progress —especially self-actualization, mutual benefit, and bottom-up change.

- Proven experience as a founder, investor, or community builder among high-performing peers.

- Exceptional relationship instincts—able to earn trust, spot potential, and challenge high-performers to grow.
- Strong operational acumen coupled with a history of fostering accountability and ownership.
