What are the responsibilities and job description for the Venture Capital Associate position at Collaborative Fund?
We are kicking off this year’s search for our next class of Associates to join us as part of our two-year Associate program in our New York office.
Associates will collaborate with Partners and the broader Collab team to source, evaluate, and support investments.
We’re looking for candidates who are:
- Entrepreneurial
- Hard working
- Optimistic
- Intellectually curious
- Self-starting
- Excited to live in New York
In addition to offering all the things you’d expect (comprehensive and competitive compensation and benefits package including bonus, paid holiday leave, sick leave, health and dental insurance, team offsites, and 401k) we offer the chance to work at a firm that challenges the status quo every day. We’ve built a culture where people show up inspired and motivated to contribute fully—because they want to, not because they have to.
Here’s some additional miscellaneous stuff you may (or may not) care about:
- Founded in 2010, our venture funds invest in early (pre-seed) through early growth stage (Series B and C) companies
- Our primary focus is investing at the early stages (seed )
- We focus on teams leveraging technology to create meaningful, systemic change with category-defining shifts
- We’ve also raised various thematic funds with specific mandates focused on areas including (i) kids, (ii) consumer and (iii) sustainability
- Some of our prior investments include Speak, Phaidra, Upstart Financial, Bandit, Blue Bottle Coffee, Sweetgreen, Kickstarter, Lyft, Magic Spoon, The Farmers Dog, and OLIPOP
