About the role
Note: Your path here could look like a lot of things: maybe you built a product at a fast-growing startup or have invested at another firm. What matters less is the exact resume; what matters most is how you work, how you think about founders, and the networks you’ve built. We expect the base salary range for this position to be between $125,000 – $200,000 per year, plus a competitive equity package. Your actual compensation will be determined based on your skills, qualifications, and experience.
What they're looking for
- You are drawn to people and gifted at building things . Sourcing isn’t a task you check off, it’s how you already operate. You meet people, you keep them in your orbit, and you connect dots others miss
- You’re technical and can earn a builder’s trust . You hold your own on the product and know how things are actually built. You understand how technical founders think, because you’ve done the work
- You have a strong point of view on where various markets are heading , not just next year, but in the next 10 years. You understand the “why now” and where value will accrue
- You’re opinionated . You form a point of view, argue it well, and are unafraid to respectfully challenge others
- You’re collaborative and hard-working – a team player who thrives in ambiguity and isn’t afraid to ask for help when you need it
- You move fast . You operate with urgency and a winning mindset
