Fundraising Advisor &
Investor Access Partner

No fixed salary · Conditional success fees · No equity grant

Help build the foundation for Vitalog’s next chapter.

Vitalog is seeking a hands-on advisor to work directly with the founder on fundraising readiness, qualified funding opportunities, introductions, and disciplined follow-through. This is an independent, non-exclusive advisory engagement, not an employment appointment.

What you will work on

Refine fundraising materials and the investor narrative; research suitable funders and programmes; maintain a qualified funding pipeline; support founder-approved introductions, meeting preparation, follow-up, and diligence coordination.

Maintain an accurate funding register and concise weekly updates. Material claims, proposed terms, and sharing non-public documents require the founder’s written approval.

Funding scope

The initial engagement focuses on approved cash grants, gifts, philanthropic contributions, sponsorships, prizes, donations, and other non-debt, non-equity funding.

It does not authorize offering, negotiating, or arranging shares, loans, SAFEs, convertible instruments, revenue-sharing arrangements, repayments, or financial returns for funders. It is not an investment-management, brokerage, or financial-advisory role.

Who we are looking for

Demonstrable experience in fundraising support, investor relations, accelerator operations, startup finance, venture building, or early-stage business development. A strong understanding of Kenya and East Africa’s startup ecosystem is important.

Excellent research, writing, presentation, organization, and relationship-management skills; reliable independent execution; sound judgment and confidentiality. Relevant relationships are valuable, but ethical judgment and proven execution matter more than a large contact list.

Engagement and compensation

No fixed salary is available at this stage. Compensation follows a written success-fee arrangement based on eligible, advisor-attributed cash funding actually received and cleared, subject to the agreement’s conditions and the relevant funder’s terms.

Non-cash awards—including credits, licences, equipment, and mentoring—do not automatically count toward a cash target or earn a fee. Any specific exception requires a written agreement before acceptance.

No equity is granted under the initial engagement. Any future engagement or equity consideration would require separate negotiation, incorporation where applicable, legal review, and formal documentation. Continuation and equity are not guaranteed.

How to apply

Send your professional-profile or CV link, relevant experience, availability, and a short explanation of how you would approach the engagement. Please do not submit identity documents, bank details, or confidential information from previous engagements. Interviews and complete terms will follow privately.
