About LvlUp Ventures
LvlUp Ventures is a global early-stage venture firm and platform that supports founders with capital, operational support, and strategic partnerships. With 20,000+ annual applicants, 100+ portfolio companies, and 600+ companies supported across programs, LvlUp combines a high-volume sourcing funnel with a structured ecosystem of operators and partners.
Role Overview
The Dealflow Partner Program is an elevated role within LvlUp’s venture scout ecosystem, designed for top operators who consistently source venture-grade, fundable startups.
Unlike traditional scout models that compensate only when a deal funds, Dealflow Partners receive a predictable monthly stipend tied to clear, volume-based KPIs, while retaining full upside on funded deals. This program rewards consistency, improves signal quality, and builds long-term alignment between LvlUp, our partners, and the operators closest to founder networks.

Submit complete deal packages (deck, founder context, traction summary)
Maintain founder relationships and ensure consent for investor introductions
Respond to follow-up diligence questions (context, nuance, positioning)
Attend select LvlUp events and represent the ecosystem professionally
