Independent Director & Chair, Finance and Capital Markets Committee

Independent Director & Chair, Finance and Capital Markets Committee — FedStone
Building the market the federal government runs on.
The federal government buys $750 billion a year. By law, roughly $170 billion is reserved for small businesses, and most of them can't afford the recruiters, systems, capital or proposal teams to deliver it. Every agency and every large prime is required to find them. No one does the matching, and no one does the staffing, lending, technology and teaming together, at scale.
FedStone is being built to do it. Our goal is to become the largest platform serving federal contractors.
Who is building it. FedStone is being built by a team that includes:
a former U.S. Assistant Secretary for Health, a four-star admiral of the Public Health Service
the chief executive of one of the largest government-owned venture investors in the country, with more than 400 portfolio companies
an advisory board of former senior officers and agency heads
The model. FedStone is a federal marketplace that also owns operating companies.
Certified small businesses get the platform, a secure communications channel, opportunity analysis and bid submission, at no cost.
Agencies, enterprises and large primes pay for access to those companies, for team assembly, and for a verified performance record of every company on the platform.
We start in healthcare. Our first businesses are:
a federal medical staffing prime
a national recruiting organization
a clinical technology platform serving eight of the twelve largest U.S. health payers
The seat. You will chair the committee that sets how FedStone is financed as it scales:
the capital structure across equity, debt and community capital
relationships with banks, lenders, family offices and institutional investors
acquisition financing as the platform grows
the path to a public listing
This is a strategic role at board level, working alongside the chief executive and the acquisition team.
Who we're looking for. You have raised institutional capital, led a capital markets or private capital function, built a platform through acquisition, or taken a company public. You know the family offices, lenders and funds that back companies like this.
How we govern:
an independent board majority
a separate audit committee
compliance reporting to the board
a board-level policy on which contracts we pursue
clinical judgment kept independent of revenue
The terms. Quarterly board meetings plus active committee leadership. Compensation includes cash and meaningful equity.
