About Caplight
At Caplight, we’re building the Bloomberg for private markets. Top venture investors rely on Caplight’s proprietary data to research and value companies like SpaceX, OpenAI, and Stripe, and use Caplight’s marketplace to communicate and trade. We’re backed by leading fintech investors, including Fin Capital and Better Tomorrow Ventures, and this year, we are on track to triple our business, profitably.
2025 was an inflection point for our subscription business; we crossed 100 institutional customers through founder-led sales, with enterprise contract values, and accretive net revenue retention. We’ve proven product-market-fit and are now looking for a sales professional to build the systems and team that will take Caplight to the next level.
If you’re an experienced B2B or enterprise tech sales leader, ready to roll up your sleeves, have maximum impact, and share this journey with us from 1 to N. We’re looking for you.
