About DentaSmart
DentaSmart is building a modern dental benefits and oral-health platform around a simple proposition:
Personal AI Dentist + Discounted Dental Network + Financing
Our Personal AI Dentist helps users understand and monitor their oral health, analyze dental X-rays and mouth images, review treatment plans, track their oral-health history, and get ongoing AI-powered guidance.
The DentaSmart Dental Benefits Plan combines the technology with discounted access to dental care and financing options. It is designed for individuals, families, employers, associations, unions, membership groups, and other organizations.
The Opportunity

Fundraising is the #1 priority of this role.
We are particularly interested in candidates who come from the:
Venture capital or investment community
Entrepreneur and startup ecosystem
Family office or angel-investor community
Healthcare or digital-health investment ecosystem
Dental, insurance, or employee-benefits industry
The ideal candidate already has a strong network of investors and can create meaningful introductions, build investor relationships, and help drive funding rounds from initial outreach through closing.
Beyond fundraising, this person will help build DentaSmart through partnerships, enterprise sales, distribution, and strategic growth.
Key ResponsibilitiesFundraising & Investor Relations

Activate an existing network of VCs, family offices, angels, strategic investors, healthcare investors, and entrepreneurs.
Build and manage the investor pipeline from introduction through diligence and closing.
Secure high-quality investor meetings and strategic introductions.
Help refine the investment story, pitch, financial narrative, valuation strategy, and fundraising materials.
Develop long-term relationships with investors who can contribute capital, industry access, customers, and strategic partnerships.
Support investor updates, Board communications, and future funding rounds.
Represent DentaSmart within startup, investor, healthcare, dental, and entrepreneurial communities.

Build relationships with:
Dental and health insurance companies
Benefits plans and administrators

Self-insured employers
PEOs
Associations
Unions
Employer groups
Membership and affinity organizations
Dental networks

Self-insured employers
Insurance companies and payers
Businesses
Associations
Unions
Employer groups
Benefits brokers
PEOs
Membership organizations
Build opportunities for both the Personal AI Dentist platform and the broader DentaSmart Dental Benefits Plan.
The benefits plan can be sold directly to individuals and families as well as distributed through employers, brokers, associations, unions, and other organizations.
Commercial Strategy
Help define DentaSmart’s overall business and growth strategy.
Identify the highest-value markets, partnerships, and distribution channels.
Develop pricing, partnership structures, revenue models, and channel economics.

What We Are Looking For
Strong existing network of investors, entrepreneurs, VCs, family offices, or strategic investors.
Meaningful experience raising capital or working directly within the investment or startup ecosystem.
Ideally has previously been an entrepreneur, investor, venture partner, operating executive, or senior business-development leader.

Introducing the company to a strategic investor
Meeting a Fortune 500 benefits executive
Building a national broker relationship
Negotiating an insurance or benefits partnership
Opening doors with associations and unions

Build a strong and active investor pipeline.
Expand DentaSmart’s network within the VC, entrepreneur, family-office, and healthcare investment communities.
