Community/Events Lead

About Finta

Finta is building the finance platform startups should have had from day one.

Today, startup finance is fragmented. Bookkeeping lives in one place, taxes in another, reporting in spreadsheets, forecasting in someone’s head, and founders are left trying to piece together what is actually happening in the business.

We want Finta to become the go-to solution for the entire finance function: accounting, taxes, financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, and real-time insights, all in one place.

We raised $2M from Y Combinator, Mercury’s CEO, and leaders at Mercury, Brex, and Ramp. Since launching in 2023, we have grown organically through word of mouth and now serve hundreds of paying customers.

We are a small, high-caliber team with a bias for shipping. There are no layers here. You’ll work directly with Andy, the founder, and get close to customers, product, positioning, and GTM.

This is a founding role where the scope can expand quickly if you earn trust. We work together in person 5 days a week in San Francisco, near the Ferry Building, and expect people to take ownership without needing a lot of structure.

About the role

We’re hiring a Community/Events Lead to build Finta’s presence inside the YC founder community.

This is not a generic growth role. You will not be running paid ads, SEO, lifecycle campaigns, or broad demand gen.

The core motion is simple: get the right YC founders in the room, create a great experience, build trust, and turn those relationships into customers, referrals, content, and long-term distribution.

You’ll own the full loop:

Host events for YC founders

Take YC founders out to dinner

Send targeted outbound emails to YC founders

Partner with companies like Brex, Ramp, Mercury, Stripe, Rippling, Rho, Slash and others to co-host events

Turn founder conversations into pipeline, content, referrals, and product feedback

What you’ll do

Host high-quality events for YC founders, including dinners, roundtables, office hours, happy hours, and tactical finance sessions

Build targeted invite lists based on batch, stage, company type, funding status, and finance needs

Write outbound emails that founders actually reply to

Partner with startup ecosystem companies to co-host founder events

Own event execution end to end: concept, guest list, venue, invites, reminders, run of show, experience, and follow-up

Build real relationships with founders, not transactional lead-gen funnels

Turn founder conversations into useful content, including event recaps, finance guides, social posts, partner content, and customer stories

Track what matters: invites, replies, RSVPs, attendance, meetings booked, pipeline created, customers closed, and referrals generated

Bring founder feedback back into product, positioning, and sales

Build the playbook for how Finta grows through the startup ecosystem

You’ll be a good fit if you

Have experience in founder-facing GTM, events, partnerships, community, VC/platform, startup sales, or early-stage marketing

Love being around startup founders and can quickly build trust in a room

Can host a dinner, run a room, and make people feel like the event was worth their time

Are excellent at written outreach

Can write emails that feel personal, sharp, and not spammy

Are commercial. You understand events should create trust, pipeline, customers, and referrals

Are highly organized and can manage a lot of small details without dropping the ball

Have taste. You care about venue, guest mix, conversation quality, timing, follow-up, and how Finta is perceived

Can work independently in an ambiguous, early-stage environment

Are excited to become deeply credible on startup finance, accounting, taxes, reporting, and forecasting

Use AI tools to move faster, research better, personalize outreach, and run a tighter system

You should not join Finta if

You want to run paid ads, SEO, lifecycle marketing, or generic demand gen

You want a role that is mostly strategy and not hands-on execution
