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 equityA 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.
