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.
