Venture Advisor

Tech Alliance is the place for dreamers, innovators, and world-changing ideas. We empower world-class tech ventures and fuel growth in Canada’s innovation economy, while championing, coaching, and amplifying businesses, and fostering a vibrant technology community in Southwestern Ontario.

As the lead voice of one of North America's top tech ecosystems, we believe ambitious people do their best work when they’re supported in and outside of work including generous vacation, extra-long weekends (that actually feel long), meaningful perks and benefits, and a workspace built for bold thinking. We’re a human-led, AI first organization – the kind of place curious and driven people want to be part of.

You believe in disruptive innovation that stretches the boundaries of what’s possible. You bring a systems-thinking mindset, embrace experimentation, and approach challenges with curiosity and creativity. As a teammate, you act boldly, focus on solutions, and operate with a growth mindset. You are someone who strives to make an impact in this region’s thriving tech sector and seeks a role where you can put your own innovative spin on things.

Tech Alliance is seeking a Venture Growth Advisor to support a high volume of early‑stage startups and hyper‑growth technology companies, serving as a key point of contact for founding teams and CEOs providing strategic guidance and connections to the right people at the right time. The role actively conducts business development to attract and retain new ventures, managing a portfolio of member companies, and delivering entrepreneurial initiatives and advisory services throughout each venture’s lifecycle.

The Venture Growth Advisor works closely with founders to understand their challenges, remove obstacles, identify growth opportunities, and connect them to the people, resources, and capital needed to increase their speed of success.

The successful candidate understands core business fundamentals including strategy, financial modeling, primary and secondary research, sales and marketing, raising capital and data‑driven decision making.

You will work closely with founders to help them grow in ways that make the most sense for their ventures. You will ask thoughtful questions, challenge assumptions, and provide practical guidance while connecting entrepreneurs with the people, organizations, and resources that will help them achieve their goals. In return, you will gain exposure to innovative companies and inspiring founders, learning quickly in a dynamic and fast‑paced environment.
