What are the responsibilities and job description for the Chief Operations Officer position at Voyager Ventures Inc?
Voyager invests in exceptional technology companies building the foundations of a durable global economy. We are a diverse team of experienced investors, founders, academic researchers, and policy-makers who have successfully built multiple climate tech companies over the past two decades. Our mission is to accelerate the success of ambitious early-stage founding teams in North America and Europe, focusing on Seed and Series A climate tech companies that are modernizing massive markets and driving global decarbonization.
Located in San Francisco, New York, and London, we started investing Voyager Fund II in January 2025.
