Want to make a difference? MtB is looking for you!

We are growing! As we are preparing for our third year of activities, we proudly look back to what we’ve been doing. Modestly speaking, we have become the most active organization able to select, promote and network the most promising Italian startups in the Silicon Valley.

To continue in our long term mission of making a tangible difference in the Italian entrepreneurial eco-system, we are now incorporating new roles in the organization. After a newly formed board of directors, we intend to add the following positions:

Head of Italian Operations:
- Activity:Be the public face of MTB in Italy.Source startups directly and through partners (universities, incubators).Coordinate local events. Potentially, build a team.
- Requirements:A recognized leader in the Italian entrepreneurial scene, with sky-high ethical standards, public standing, and a hyper- developed network of relevant contacts. Willing to spend 1 week/Y in Silicon Valley. Based in Italy.


Head of fund raising:
- Activity:coordinate all the fund raising activities. Define sponsorships plan. Strategy and action plan to attract donors. Evaluate long term options (multi-year sponsorship, creation of an endowment). Potentially, build a team.
- Requirements :you know what you’re doing and you are passionate about it.

If you want to be considered for such roles or you are just willing to help change Italy, contact volunteers@mindthebridge.org

Note:MTB is a non-profit foundation supported by volunteers. The new positions will not be remunerated, although they might be in the future depending on the available budget. Some expenses will be covered.

Hi there. I'm not qualified for any of the position you're offering but I'm willing to help in any way I can. For instance I can meet other companies that are considering MdB and talk with them about my experience of spending 1 month in the valley.

Cheers,
Michele
