About the role

F-Prime’s tech fund is looking for a Research Analyst for the Tech Fund who can do two things exceptionally well: dig deep into industries and emerging technologies and then tell those stories in ways that people actually want to read. This isn’t a traditional research role where your memos disappear forever into a folder. Your work will support investment decisions, inform our portfolio companies, and—crucially—live out in the world as thought leadership that moves markets and conversations forward. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 1-3 years of experience in technology research, investment banking, or consulting
  • Exceptional writer who can make emerging technologies engaging and accessible
  • Genuinely curious about emerging technology—you read research papers for fun and have strong opinions about AI scaling laws
  • Rigorous analytical mindset with ability to synthesize complex information quickly
  • Self-directed and comfortable with ambiguity (you don’t need detailed instructions to produce great work)
  • Complex data into crisp, engaging visualizations
