Who You Are
- You have a great read on people. While building community, you know exactly who to filter directly to the GP. While communicating with founders, talent, LPs, co-investors, and portfolio companies you have a supernatural sense of their needs and feelings.
- You love meeting strangers.
- Bias to action.
- No task is beneath you, too boring, or beyond your abilities. You’re happy to jump into an exec assistant role when needed, enjoy organizing events (even if it means frantically Uber Eats-ing drinks or a whiteboard at the last minute), and don’t hesitate to step in, and support portfolio companies on short notice.
- You have a passion for longevity, the mission of the fund, and are invested in its future.
