    About StartOut

    StartOut is the leading national non-profit focused on supporting LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs. StartOut's mission is to accelerate the growth of the LGBTQ+ community to drive its economic empowerment, building a world where every LGBTQ+ entrepreneur has equal access to lead, succeed, and shape the workforce of the future.

    Founded in 2009, StartOut is a global community of over 25K members and is the largest organization supporting LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs. We serve all growth entrepreneurs of the LGBTQ+ community regardless of ethnicity, identity, or gender. Our membership is diverse in gender, race, identity, geographic location, and industries. To level the playing field and have measurable impact, we offer a highly subsidized suite of very successful programs to founders, including our investor portal, the StartOut Growth Lab (our 6-month accelerator), a mentorship program with over 1,000 matches to date, expert office hours, virtual and in-person events nationwide, and community building.

    StartOut is committed to promoting diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging both within our own organization and within the LGBTQ+ and entrepreneurial communities. This includes inclusive hiring practices, an organizational commitment to equitable and inclusive conduct (outlined in our Code of Conduct,) and initiatives and programs to increase equitable outcomes, especially for female-identified, BIPOC and Trans/GNC community members.

    Additionally, StartOut is proud to be an equal opportunity employer and welcomes applicants of any race, creed, color, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, gender expression, age, neurotype, physical or mental ability, veteran status, military obligations, and marital status. In order to promote and support diversity at every level, this policy also applies to internal promotions, training, opportunities for advancement, terminations, outside vendors, members and customers, service clients, use of contractors and consultants, and dealings with the general public.
    About the Role

    As part of a small but highly effective team you will advance the economic empowerment of the LGBTQ+ community. As a StartOut Program Associate, you will work closely with the Manager, Access to Capital on our Access to Capital initiatives, and with the Director of Programs on the Founder Onboarding and Experience initiatives bringing greater access to our suite of successful programs by our Founder Members Community.

    You will also collaborate with the rest of our Programs team to provide general support to our founders through the onboarding process to StartOut programs.

You will collaborate with and report to the Manager, Access to Capital.
    2. Overseeing the founder onboarding process; reviewing applications, conducting onboarding sessions, and ensuring the process is inclusive, supportive, and efficient.
