About the role
The Innovative Public Schools (IPS) team at NewSchools Venture Fund seeks an Associate Partner (AP) to lead our work finding and supporting school founders building future-ready school models. In this role, you will hold a portfolio of up to 10 public school teams in the design phases, roughly two years before opening, and lead our new work supporting AI-native and AI-supported fresh start schools. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- Own the recruitment strategy for founders building future-ready models — AI as core infrastructure, college and career pathways, talent and time redesign, and models for historically underserved students
- Build and continuously refine a national pipeline of innovative founders across charter and district schools, using pattern recognition to identify promising models before they’re fully formed
- Shape funding application and selection criteria that distinguish founders with genuine model ambition from those who use the language of innovation without the substance
- Bring an innovation lens to application review, due diligence, and selection alongside the IPS team
- Author investment recommendations for leadership and the board, making the case for which founders merit early-stage capital and why
- Partner with other associate partners to ensure strong handoffs and learning arcs across the Y00-Y3 trajectory
