The Role

We're looking for a strategic content leader who can amplify our portfolio and strengthen our firm's market voice—someone who:

• Builds authentic relationships to surface and share meaningful stories
• Thrives at the intersection of storytelling, events, and community building

Event Content & Programming

• Design event experiences: Develop content strategy and programming for demo days, founder summits, and annual meetings
• Execute compelling sessions: Curate topics, prepare moderator guides, coordinate speakers, and develop presentation materials that reinforce our thesis
• Develop event content assets: Create pre-event materials, pitch decks, and follow-up resources that reinforce key messages and extend the conversation beyond the live experience
• Extend event impact: Capture and repurpose event content for broader distribution beyond attendees

Our values

• We hire teammates whose integrity and demand for excellence match our culture and values:
• Founders come first. We come second: Investors lose when they develop an ego or a sense of entitlement. Founders lose when they stop believing in themselves or their companies. Everything we do is in service of supporting the founders who are building iconic companies.
• Be honest: With yourself and with others. Stay honest when it is hardest to be honest; that is when it matters most.
• Have conviction: Work only with people we are willing to fight for and fight for them.
• Demand excellence: Demand excellence from yourself, your colleagues, and founders. Work only with exceptional people and give them tremendous trust. Be unabashedly ambitious.
• Think in decades. Act in seconds: As a venture firm we are investing for the very long term, but we move with the speed and urgency of the startups we partner with.
