About the role

Conductive Ventures backs unconventional founders building companies with AI at their core. We believe the best founders do more with less — they turn small teams and lean infrastructure into outsized leverage. We back founders who build that way from day one: operators, not fundraisers, who obsess over fast customer payback, defend strong unit economics, and treat doing more with less as a discipline, not a constraint. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Must have 3-5 years of work experience including an operating role at a startup or tech company
  • Is energized by outbound sourcing and the hunt for great founders — has a track record of sourcing companies directly and brings existing networks into early-stage founder and investor communities
  • Understands financial statements, can build financial models, problem solve and go deep into emerging sectors as we evaluate investments. Investment banking experience is a plus
  • Is passionate about AI technology, regularly tracks its developments and has built new products using AI tools
  • Is approachable, optimistic, authentic, and easy to connect with
  • Treats the firm as if it were their own business and can be a self-starter

We invest early — primarily Seed and Series A — where this operating discipline matters most. We have over 30 portfolio companies including CSC Generation, Empowerly, EvolvedMD, Kalshi, MoeGo, Motive, and Self Financial, with 11 exits – most recently Ambiq (NYSE), Jackpocket (acquired by DraftKings) and Resident (acquired by Ashley Home).

We are looking for an investor to join our team and support us across all responsibilities at the firm, and who is especially excited to help us source the next generation of AI founders. In return, you will get exposure to all aspects of venture capital and a...
