Startup Event Ambassador (Paid + Flexible)

About Us

We’re building a new kind of social network focused more on commerce than content.

https://list-lab.org/

We’re pre-launch mode and expanding our presence at startup, investor, technology, and networking events across the nation.

We’re looking for outgoing, self-motivated and reliable team members who enjoy meeting new people and can confidently represent an early-stage tech company at live events.

The Role

As a Startup Event Ambassador, you’ll attend events on behalf of the company and help introduce attendees to our platform.

This is not a hard sales role.

You are not expected to close deals, pitch investors, or give technical demos.

Your primary responsibilities are:

• Starting conversations
• Describing the platform at a high level
• Encouraging interested people to scan a QR code to sign up
• Identifying strong leads
• Representing the brand professionally at events

Your exact script is as follows:

When asked about the company, this is what you say – like literally:

We're a stealth startup with a team of 30+ launching something special soon.  What I can say is that it's a new kind of social network – less about content, more about commerce but not just shopping.  The platform is designed to tap into existing behavior and positioned to grow independent of economic uncertainty.

The ask (investors): Would you like to be on a short list for early access with preferred terms?

The ask (non-investors): Would you like to be on a short list for early access?

Your Playbook

Step 4: Invite prospective investors and founders to join our “first look shortlist”; present a QR code to streamline sign up and collect their phone number and email

Step 5: Ask for referrals and invitations to other public or private events

Step 6: Pass on leads to our team to qualify and engage
