Venture Capital Associate

Overview

This role is investor-facing and focuses on building relationships with investors who invest directly in private companies. You will grow the investor network, understand each investor’s criteria, and introduce them to opportunities that fit.

The organization is a global network that screens deal flow tightly and shares opportunities that clear diligence with its investor network. Investors invest directly in companies—this is not a fund-raising role.

Responsibilities

• Grow investor relationships by bringing in investors every month.
• Manage ongoing investor relationships over time, keeping them current and qualified.
• Match investors to opportunities by maintaining a clear understanding of what each investor looks for (including stage, check size, and sector).
• Handle investor outreach and investor meetings when a founder needs qualified meetings at short notice.
• Support investor matching and continued engagement between opportunities, so investors remain active in the network.
• Work closely with the two co-founders and the investor team; contribute to discussions about how opportunities are screened and why certain opportunities are declined.
• Use judgment on where AI tools improve your work versus where they would compromise quality.

Requirements

• Have built investor relationships personally.
• Be able to explain how each relationship began (e.g., direct outreach, referrals cultivated, or events and networks deliberately engaged with).
• Have taken at least one investor from a first conversation to a direct investment in a private round, and be able to walk through the process.
• Understand what your investors invest in, including stage, check size, sector, and reasons they decline.
• Treat discretion as second nature. Do not include any investor names in your application.
• Use AI tools daily, with clear judgment about where they improve your work and where they would compromise its quality.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in direct investor relationship management (not limited to managing fund LP/institutional mandates).
• Experience operating effectively in a remote, asynchronous environment.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary plus commission.
• Fully remote, asynchronous role.
• Direct access to the co-founders and the investor team.

Location

• Fully remote.
