Caprae Capital Partners is a next-generation private equity and venture platform built by operators, not career financiers. Led by founder Kevin Hong, a serial tech entrepreneur who has scaled companies to $31M ARR and $7M in revenue, Caprae was formed alongside fellow entrepreneurs who have achieved eight-figure and nine-figure exits (including acquisitions by Twitter and Square). The broader partner network includes a former NASA software engineer and a former Chief of Staff at Google, a team engineered for innovation and disruption.

Since launching in 2025, Caprae has already closed over $50M in transaction value, with $80M+ across its ecosystem, and an additional $60M scheduled to close by Q1 2026. The company has been growing 20%+ MoM for 12 months, and this trend is expected to continue for the next several months.

Caprae is rethinking how entrepreneurship, capital, and talent connect. We operate at the intersection of private equity, venture operations, and founder enablement, and we move aggressively. This is not a traditional finance firm.

Role Overview

We’re looking for a Business Development Manager with strong commercial instincts, sharp communication skills, and the drive to turn conversations into real revenue and closed deals.

This is a full-time, front-line growth role for someone exceptional at outbound outreach, confident presenting to executives, and energized by building pipeline from zero. You’ll sit at the intersection of business development, partnerships, and deal execution—initiating conversations with business owners, building trusted relationships, and helping convert opportunities into completed transactions across Caprae’s platform and portfolio.

This is not a passive sales, marketing, or research role.

You’ll learn how deals actually get done by doing them.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead high-volume, high-quality outbound business development (including cold outreach; ~20 hours/week)
• Initiate and manage conversations with founders, CEOs, and business owners across industries
• Book and run discovery meetings, partnership discussions, and early-stage deal conversations
• Support—and over time lead—commercial, sales, and transaction-related discussions
• Craft and deliver clear, compelling narratives around Caprae’s offerings and value proposition
• Work directly with senior leadership to prioritize and pursue high-value opportunities
• Own and manage a pipeline of prospects, partnerships, and deal opportunities
• Track, manage, and report on outreach activity, meetings, and conversion metrics
• Assist in select client success, account management, and post-close relationship building
• Contribute to brand positioning, partnerships, investor relations, and PR initiatives as needed
