💼 Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

Venture Finance + Fundraising | Equity Only (Time-Based + Milestone) | Remote | Fractional to Full-Time Path

About Luupli

Luupli is building a mission-led social platform designed around real human connection and fair value for creators and communities. We’re live on iOS and Android, approaching 30,000 users, and gearing up for an upcoming global launch.

We’re also backed through ecosystem support from NVIDIA, Google, Mixpanel, and GitHub, helping us accelerate product and growth.

The Role

We’re hiring a CFO who can be a true partner to the CEO: bring investor-grade financial leadership, build the finance engine, and help us raise meaningful capital fast.

This is a high-ownership role at a pre-seed company. You’ll build structure without slowing us down, and you’ll be comfortable operating as both strategic lead and hands-on doer.

What You’ll Do

Fundraising + Investor Readiness

• Partner with the CEO to lead fundraising strategy, investor pipeline, and process execution

• Strengthen the investor narrative and ensure the deck, model, and data room are diligence-ready

• Drive investor communications, follow-ups, and weekly momentum tracking to keep the round moving

• Support term sheet evaluation, negotiation, and closing mechanics

Financial Strategy + Operating Cadence

• Own the financial model, runway planning, burn management, and scenario planning

• Build budget and forecasting disciplines that scale through seed and beyond

• Create board-ready reporting: KPIs, cash visibility, and decision-grade insights

• Oversee accounting, controls, and vendors (and build a fractional bench as needed)

Governance + Compliance

• Ensure cap table and equity administration readiness for fundraising

• Establish investor-grade documentation and financial hygiene

• Put in place lightweight controls and processes that reduce risk and build confidence

What You’ll Bring

• 10+ years of senior finance leadership, ideally in venture-backed startups

• A proven fundraising track record: you’ve helped close meaningful rounds, not just advised

• Strong grasp of venture mechanics: SAFEs/notes, priced rounds, dilution, cap table, and term sheets

• Clear financial storytelling: you can make numbers simple, credible, and compelling

• Comfortable moving fast, making trade-offs, and building structure from scratch

• Bonus: consumer apps, creator economy, marketplaces, or social platform experience

Compensation (Equity Only: Time-Based + Milestone)

This is an equity-only opportunity at this stage. No salary or retainer.

1) Time-based vesting equity
A base equity grant that vests monthly over time (standard vesting schedule), aligned to role scope and commitment.

2) Milestone-based equity (fundraising outcomes)
Additional equity that vests based on fundraising performance, tied to timeline and amount raised, and earned only on closed funds (not soft commitments).

All equity and vesting terms will be documented in the CFO agreement before start.
