Community & Content Associate
Startup Foundry is a Silicon Valley accelerator for early-stage founders. We're launching our first cohort this year and looking for a Community & Content Associate to help build our brand from the ground up.
This is a volunteer role ideal for a recent grad or early-career person who wants real startup ecosystem experience with real ownership, not a shadow role.
What You'll Be Doing
Social Media Management
ā¢ Own and manage our presence across LinkedIn and Twitter/X
ā¢ Create, schedule, and publish content that builds brand awareness and drives engagement
ā¢ Engage with founders, investors, and startup communities on our behalf
ā¢ Track performance and iterate on what works
Twitter Spaces (Startup Foundry Live)
ā¢ Produce and co-host our monthly Twitter Spaces featuring founders and investors
ā¢ Research and identify potential guests, handle outreach, and coordinate scheduling
ā¢ Moderate live conversations, ask thoughtful questions, and keep the discussion moving
ā¢ Repurpose Spaces content into clips, quotes, and posts for social media
Newsletter
ā¢ Help write, edit, and manage our newsletter (founder stories, ecosystem updates, investor insights)
ā¢ Maintain the subscriber list and track open rates and engagement
ā¢ Source content ideas and coordinate contributions when needed
Program Support
ā¢ Assist with light program operations as needed (founder communications, event coordination, content for the website)
ā¢ Support partnership and community-related tasks as they come up
What You'll Get
ā¢ Direct access to founders, investors, and operators in the startup ecosystem
ā¢ A portfolio of work you actually built, not observed
ā¢ A strong reference and a network that compounds over time
ā¢ Real experience building a brand from its earliest stage
ā¢ Visibility into how an accelerator and venture ecosystem operates behind the scenes
What We're Looking For
Articulate and eloquent ā you can hold a conversation with founders and investors and sound like you belong in the room
A natural storyteller ā you know how to turn ideas, founder journeys, and updates into content people actually want to read and share
Strong writing ability with a clear, confident voice
Active and fluent on Twitter and LinkedIn ā you understand how these platforms work, not just how to post on them
Reliable and consistent ā this only works if you show up every week
Genuinely interested in startups, venture capital, and the founder ecosystem
Comfortable working independently with minimal direction
Recent graduate or early-career professional looking for meaningful experience
Prior experience with content creation, social media, community building, or newsletters is a plus but not required
Location doesn't matter ā energy, consistency, and communication skills do
To Apply
Send your application to [email protected] with the subject line "Application to Content & Community Role." Include a short note on why this role interests you and a link to any content you've created (social accounts, writing samples, newsletter work, anything that shows how you think and communicate).
