ABOUT THE ROLE

About Us

Dubois Holdings is a fast-paced, high-growth organisation operating at the intersection of venture capital, entrepreneurship, and business operations. We support visionary founders by providing capital, strategic advisory, and access to a highly curated global network of investors and entrepreneurs.

This opportunity offers first-hand exposure to two North American, fast-growing ventures in the legal and investment space – both working to accelerate justice through technology and capital. Operating within the mass tort and litigation finance ecosystem, these ventures focus on improving access, transparency, and efficiency across the legal sector.

You’ll work directly with founders and operators to help scale operations, streamline systems, and support strategic growth across ventures driving change in the legal and investment landscape.

The Role

We’re hiring a Founder's Associate to work closely with the founding team across two complementary ventures:

  • A venture-backed LegalTech platform that centralises mass-tort intelligence – helping law firms, investors, and marketers make smarter, faster, and more efficient decisions using connected data and technology.

  • An early-stage investment platform helping investors access and participate in mass-tort and litigation finance opportunities.

You’ll act as a right hand to the founders, supporting everything from research and investment documentation to business development, CRM management, and day-to-day operations.

Day-to-day, you might be:

  • Drafting investment memos, reports, and materials for internal and external stakeholders

  • Conducting research and analysis to support decision-making, strategy, and execution

  • Supporting business development and investor outreach, including follow-ups and coordination

  • Maintaining and updating CRM systems to ensure accurate contact and deal tracking

  • Assisting in the creation of presentations, decks, and investor updates

  • Helping structure workflows, refine systems, and improve process efficiency

  • Supporting team planning, meetings, and administrative coordination

  • Essentially, doing whatever it takes to help the founders execute, scale, and grow

Legal or finance experience is not required – curiosity, adaptability, and initiative are what matter most.

This is a hands-on role for someone eager to learn how early-stage companies operate at the intersection of law, capital, and social impact – particularly within the rapidly evolving mass-tort space.

Who You Are
  • A recent graduate or final-year student (Class of 2025) OR business / legal professional with 1-2 years of experience, excited to launch your career in venture and business building

  • Detail-oriented, organised, resourceful, and proactive, with a bias toward action

  • Passionate about using business, innovation, and technology to create meaningful social impact

  • Highly ambitious and motivated; hungry to learn, grow, and take ownership across a wide range of responsibilities

  • Strong problem solver who is comfortable working in ambiguity without a set playbook – you enjoy risk and uncertainty

  • Growth mindset, constantly learning and seeking knowledge

  • Clear communicator who can work effectively with different stakeholders

  • Execution-focused and eager to roll up your sleeves

  • Curious and passionate about startups, venture capital, and scaling businesses

Your Attitude & Mindset
  • Ambitious and driven to achieve excellence

  • Purpose-driven and ethical – you care about doing the right thing, not just the easy thing

  • Confident yet humble and open to feedback

  • Invested in team spirit and collective success

  • Hungry to do whatever it takes to get the job done

  • Autonomous – you think ahead and act before being told

  • Positive and optimistic, even under pressure

  • Thrive in the chaos and energy of an early-stage startup

This Role Might Not Be for You If…
  • You’re looking for a highly structured or corporate work environment

  • You prefer predictability and routine over variety and pace

  • You find frequent change or ambiguity uncomfortable

  • You value stability over experimentation

  • Would rather have step-by-step instructions than figure things out independently

  • You want a normal ‘9-5'

Why Join Us?
  • Work directly with the founders of two high-growth ventures in LegalTech and investment

  • Gain exposure to emerging fields like mass torts, litigation finance, and legal innovation

  • Contribute to ventures focused on accelerating justice through technology and capital

  • Collaborate with a global community of entrepreneurs, investors, and operators

  • Cape Town-based, with global exposure

  • Build a strong foundation in entrepreneurship, innovation, and venture operations

Minimum Requirements:
  • Bachelor’s degree (any discipline)

  • Strong analytical, organisational, and communication skills

  • Proactive, adaptable, and eager to learn
