5. Fundraising Materials

• Strengthen Trakiva’s financial storytelling for institutional capital
  

Requirements

• Proven experience in fundraising, investment banking, private equity, venture capital, or capital advisory
• Strong track record of raising capital or supporting funded companies
• Deep understanding of investor expectations and financial structuring
• Experience engaging banks or financial institutions is a strong advantage

This role is strictly focused on fundraising and capital strategy support.
Compensation
Compensation will be structured based on experience and contribution, and may include:

• Monthly retainer
• Fundraising success-based incentives
• Performance-linked compensation
• Potential equity consideration (subject to agreement and performance)
  

Ideal Candidate
We are looking for someone who can actively help Trakiva become a well-capitalized infrastructure company by connecting us to investors, structuring deals, and driving fundraising execution.
This role is best suited for someone who operates confidently in investor environments and understands how to raise capital for early-stage infrastructure or fintech/trade platforms.
