About PedalStart At PedalStart, we run a sector-agnostic early-stage startup accelerator fund. We typically write $100-150k cheques across domains and actively invest in up rounds; we also help founders close Seed and Series A rounds with our VCs and family offices network. We support founders and back them from ideation. Our mission is to empower founders with the resources and expertise necessary for sustainable rapid scaling.

Role Overview

We are seeking an ambitious, articulate, and client-centric Key Account Manager (KAM) with a strong background in banking or wealth advisory.

● Translate complex startup business models, market dynamics, and traction metrics into clear, relatable narratives for investors.

● Ensure high investor satisfaction, trust, and retention across sequential funding rounds.
