About Us

LTSE supports companies in all stages of growth committed to long-term value creation, and the investors who share their values. We offer software and services for company-building and pursuing a path to the public markets, a U.S. national securities exchange for new and existing public companies, and a coalition for the exchange of ideas between companies and like-minded investors.

We believe in the power of a public market that supports continuous success for all stakeholders, including employees, investors, and their communities. We’re helping innovation and value creation flourish for now and far into the future through long-term investment, experimentation, and sustainable scaling.

Lead LTSE investors include Founders Fund, Collaborative Fund, Andreessen Horowitz, Obvious Ventures, Uprising, and Initialized. LTSE was founded by Eric Ries, an entrepreneur, New York Times-bestselling author, and the creator of the Lean Startup methodology. In July 2022, we closed a $100m Series C funding.

The Role

As an LTSE Equity Account Executive, you will be one of the first interactions a future customer has with LTSE Equity. Your ability to successfully help them evaluate our product for their needs and clearly define their buying process is critical to ensuring a good first experience with LTSE Equity, which typically leads to higher customer retention and continued growth. Reporting directly to the Head of Sales, you will be tasked with calling upon the next generation of companies that are in startup mode. You will conduct outreach to companies that are seeking a new or alternative equity management solution. In creating opportunities to engage with customers, you will educate and explain the benefits of utilizing a Captable solution (LTSE Equity) and explore with them why implementing a solution early in their company journey will have a huge impact on their business while providing a partnership based approach around their needs with a focus on helping them to succeed and achieve their goals. The LTSE Equity AE should be an entrepreneurial doer, likes to make things happen, but most importantly, be an individual that deeply cares about the customer and the experience they receive. A successful candidate must be passionate about working with founders and thrive in the pursuit of enabling them to manage their company’s equity. A successful candidate should also be inherently curious and capable of thriving in a fast paced start up environment with a desire to be part of creating processes and delivering candid feedback.
