## About the role
AroundU is a platform that helps communities and organizers run events without relying on Google Forms, WhatsApp, and spreadsheets. Organizers can manage registrations, confirmations, attendee data, and their audience in one place.
We've grown to 15,000 users with zero marketing spend and are already generating revenue. Communities across cities use AroundU to host events, meetups, and social gatherings. As we scale, we're looking for people who enjoy talking to organizers, building partnerships, and helping communities run events through AroundU.
This role is ideal for MBA students, aspiring founders, or people interested in sales, growth, and startups.
## Responsibilities
- Find communities, clubs, and organizers that host events (college societies, hobby groups, run clubs, creator communities, etc.)
- Reach out to organizers through Instagram, email, and calls
- Explain how AroundU can replace Google Forms + WhatsApp for managing registrations
- Help organizers set up their events on AroundU
- Build relationships with communities and help them host multiple events on the platform
## Incentives
This role is performance-driven, meaning you earn incentives based on the impact you create.
You will earn incentives for:
- Every community onboarded
- Every event hosted through AroundU
- Paid events run on the platform
Top performers can earn ₹25k–₹30k+ per month through incentives.
We also run monthly leaderboards and bonuses for top performers.
## Who This Is For
- MBA students interested in sales, partnerships, or growth roles
- People who enjoy talking to new people and convincing them
- Hustlers who like closing deals and building networks
- Aspiring founders who want hands-on startup experience
Sales, community-building, or event management experience is a plus but not required.
## Why Join
- Work directly with the founder
- Learn real startup distribution and growth strategies
- Build a strong network with community organizers and event hosts
- Opportunity to grow into a full-time growth or partnerships role
If you enjoy meeting people, pitching ideas, and helping communities grow — you'll thrive in this role.
