I'm hiring a VC associate
Update: Search closed (for now). Wow, what a response! I can't actually screen people at the rate they are coming in so let me pause my request for PMs to give me time to catch up. I'll come back to the forum if I don't find the right person. Thanks Monkeys.
Original post:
Typical VC gig - about 70% sourcing / 30% DD.
The sourcing component calls for someone who can grind through a cold outreach program, and schmooze for warm outreach. The DD component calls for a good understanding of tech trends, and the ability to think both conceptually and analytically.
Looking for someone who has worked for VCs before (though Big Tech, tech focused IB or HF/PE backgrounds will be considered).
Ideal candidate has startup and VC networks, and an MBA from a top program.
Im paying $100K base + $100K in guaranteed bonuses.
Job is in LA.
PM me.
we can't PM you because you posted anonymously.
on another note - i have a seed stage startup to pitch you...where can i submit my pitch?
Thank you. Fixed.
We don't do seed stage, but you're also welcome to PM me with rev positive startups that can make use of a $10M-$20M check.
any thoughts on where pre-revenue / pre-product startups should goto for seed funding (seeking 100k-300k range)?
DM me. If you're doing something I'm happy to put you in touch with some VCs. Your posts are always great.
What are the verticals your firm specializes in? I know a couple startups that are looking to start $15M+ raises over the next 12-18 months for growth investments.
We have no strict mandate. Feel free to PM me with more info.
Hi Mangoeldar,
Saw your post regarding the job post, was wondering if you guys still have an opening on the position by any chance? My previous background revolves working for kkr and blackrock backed unicorn in Indonesia and a conglomerate owned vc.
You worked for KKR and separately a Blackrock backed unicorn or for a unicorn backed by both KKR and Blackrock?
a unicorn backed by both blackrock and kkr
What's the value of a VC associate with an MBA besides having a network? Just curious.
IMHO MBAs are mostly about the network, and this is no exception. The logic being that you could reach out to your classmates who now work in VC for follow-on/co-investment, or to your IB friends to help with exits. Its not a must though.
$200K for an associate VC job in LA? Pretty solid.
Agreed, very solid but post is looking for someone who worked at prior VCs and has an MBA , and traditional post MBA roles would be at least Senior Associate / VP from my understanding (but could be wrong)
I think you're dead on. Was about to fwd this until I saw the MBA requirement.
FWIW - OP may have some luck snatching up one of the smarter analysts or associates at a "dial for dollars" VC fund. You'll save ~30% on comp I imagine and get someone with a clear understanding of sourcing and, potentially, an established network.
Many post-MBA VC roles do not play $200K.
I sell software and this sounds exactly what I do all day. All the way from getting told to F off on the phone 50 times a day to begging for the PO.
Can confirm. A piece of me still dies every time I make a cold call.
