About the role

Investment Decisions – You’ll be involved in evaluating and selecting the companies we ultimately invest in for each program and that you’ll work with.
Winning Deals – You’ll build rapport with prospective founders, demonstrate our value and differentiation as a fund, and sell yourself as the person they will build with.
Overall Founder Experience - You’ll act as an extension of each company’s founding team, meet weekly with the founders and add value across key aspects of their business.
Fundraising – It’s our goal to help as many companies in the program raise capital as possible. A big portion of your role will be to help make that happen – by making appropriate introductions, helping to craft the perfect pitch, and everything in between to prepare your companies to fundraise.

You’ve been in the trenches: You understand the founder experience, because you’ve been there.
You’re a natural mentor: You’ve advised or mentored early-stage founders and have a knack for guiding people through challenges with a high level of empathy.
You’re excited about investing: Whether you’ve angel invested, been part of a scout program, or are looking to build your investment profile, you’re eager to grow as an investor alongside seasoned professionals.
You have an entrepreneurial mindset: You’re resourceful, adaptable, self-directed and thrive in dynamic, fast-paced environments.
You value integrity and excellence: You take tremendous pride in your work, are committed to doing the right thing, and are always looking to level-up.
You have a strong network: You bring relationships in startups, tech, and venture capital.
