KnowCap Atlanta Hiring for Marketing Consultant for Overlooked Founders (Freelance) at Remote Full Time

What KnowCap does

KnowCap is a human capital network that connects overlooked and undiscovered entrepreneurs with subject matter experts (like you). The aim is to help experts invest in startups with just their free time – no bank accounts needed.

The founders that come into our program are people of color, women, and founders living in cities that traditionally do not have access to large amounts of capital. They are founders with great ideas, but most likely will be overlooked by venture capital because of who they are or where they live.

We believe that amazing companies can come from anywhere. Just look at success like Calendly (Georgia), Qualtrics (Utah), and Zapier (Missouri)! By connecting experts with founders we can all change lives together and share in the rewards that come with it.

How KnowCap works

Our subject matter experts are driven by meaningful work and share a passion for increasing diversity in startups. Our flexible work allows experts to contribute based on how much free time they have.

Just like we know good founders can come from anywhere, we know smart experts come from all walks of life. Many of our contributors have a full time job or are a full time parent, but want the opportunity to contribute to meaningful work, without stepping away from their current commitments.

Experts apply to be a contributor in our digital ecosystem, the platform that connects founders with experts like you. Tasks the founder doesn’t have the depth of skill to accomplish are broken into explicit tasks on our platform. As an active contributor, all available tasks are visible to you and are open to you to claim. Once you claim a task, you follow the instructions, complete the work, and submit the task for review. Once the work is reviewed and accepted by the founder your task is complete, and you’re awarded the pre-set tokens.

You’re now available to pick up your next task to either help another founder or continue with the same founder.

Compensation and perks

We use tokens to award a stake in our digital ecosystem. This means you always know how much you’ve earned. How does it work? It’s simple.

• Work when you want. How you want. Earn a percent of our network via tokens for completing tasks.
• Different tasks are worth different amounts of tokens based on the level of effort needed to complete them.
• Every task notes the tokens awarded upon completion, so you know what you’ll be paid before you decide to take it on.
• The number of tokens you own is directly tied to our success – if our network profits $100k and you own 1% of the tokens, you will receive $1,000.
• The more tasks you complete for the network, the more tokens you earn, the larger % of our network you have.

About the role
