About MaxAccelerate Tech Group
MaxAccelerate Tech Group is a global technology holding group focused on accelerating the growth of startups, early-stage companies, and solo entrepreneurs. We help founders take ideas and software products to market, scale internationally, and build on world-class technology infrastructure.
Our model combines hands-on advisory, product development, technology stack implementation, and strategic investment. Companies that join the group gain access to a shared technology ecosystem, go-to-market resources, business development infrastructure, and a network of fellow portfolio companies — creating real leverage across every stage of growth.
We work with:
• Startups and growth-stage companies looking to expand globally
• Solo entrepreneurs with validated ideas or early-stage software products
• Organisations that align with our portfolio and can add strategic value to the group
The Role

This is a unique role that sits at the intersection of capital raising, investor engagement, and pipeline development — with the goal of building and managing a high-quality network of investors and identifying new companies that could join the MaxAccelerate group.
You will be the primary point of contact for our investor community — cultivating relationships with family offices, venture capital firms, angel investors, and high-net-worth individuals — while also running outreach to identify exciting new companies that could benefit from, or contribute to, the group.

• Assist in managing the fundraising process end-to-end for specific transactions
• Maintain a CRM of investor contacts, deal flow, and interaction history
Company Origination & BD
• Identify and qualify new companies and founders that could benefit from joining the MaxAccelerate group
• Run outbound outreach to target companies across sectors and geographies aligned with the group’s thesis
• Attend events, conferences, and networking opportunities to build pipeline and represent the group
• Evaluate inbound enquiries and make initial assessments for group leadership review
Ecosystem & Portfolio Support
• Act as a connector between portfolio companies and the broader investor and partner network
• Collaborate with internal teams to align BD efforts with the group’s shared technology and marketing ecosystem
• Support internal communications and reporting on investor relations activity

Skills & Attributes
• Strong written and verbal communication skills — confident engaging with investors and senior stakeholders
• Self-starter mindset with the ability to manage multiple relationships and priorities independently
• Commercial acumen and genuine interest in startups, technology, and investment
• High attention to detail, particularly in preparing materials and investor-facing communications
• Comfortable working across time zones and in a lean, fast-moving environment
Nice to Have
