ACQ Ventures is a strategic venture capital fund empowering early-stage startups with funding, expert advice, and a robust network to accelerate growth.
About the role
Present to founders: teach the Acquisition.com sales and marketing frameworks on stage, with the finance and operations context that makes them work. Make the frameworks land: translate frameworks into clear lessons that founders can apply immediately, across sales, marketing, finance, and operations.
What they're looking for
- Commands a room, large or small. Holds the stage, draws people out at the table, and fields hard questions live. Presence, not rah-rah charisma
- Deep in sales and marketing, fluent enough in finance and operations to read the whole business, and able to make it all simple
- Scaled or exited a business as an operator who owned the P&L, at least seven figures. You diagnose from having carried the number, not just advised on it
- All in and self-directed: fully committed with no outside company, energized by the prep between events as much as the stage
- Relentless about improving the craft, treating every event as a chance to get sharper
- Makes the whole team better, not just yourself, and easy to build with
More about this role
As the Director of Business Workshops, you'll teach entrepreneurs the Acquisition.com sales and marketing frameworks from the stage and the round-tables, alongside the finance and operations context that makes them work. You'll present to a room full of founders, then go deeper to help them unpack their specific business constraints.
The frameworks and the access are already ours; your job is to make them land. The hard part is holding the room, making complex frameworks simple, answering hard questions in real time, and then helping a founder see what they cannot see about their own business.
Events run two days: a presentation-heavy first day teaching the full room from the stage, then a more intimate second day going deeper with business owners around the table. Between events, the work is studying, researching incoming cohorts, answering founder follow-ups, running a retrospective on the last event, and continuing to iterate on the format and materials. The stage is the visible part; the preparation and iteration around it are most of the job.
You'll present workshops on stage within your first 30 days. We view our Advisory Practice as a professional sport and we welcome your...
