Fast-growing group of companies / investment fund looking for analysts / associates
Business Analyst and Associate (San Francisco Preferred) Intern (SF Preferred, Remote could be ok for the right candidate)
We are a few entrepreneurs/investors looking for a hard-working, jack of all trades to help us scale our business operations. We have a seed-stage investment fund, a small hedge fund, and three startups (one consumer internet, one enterprise financial services, and one consumer packaged goods) - you will have the opportunity to work on all of them. Our backgrounds are varied - one former venture capitalist, one hedge fund analyst, one former consultant with a successful startup exit, one corporate / M&A lawyer, one Ph.D, and one musician/startup junkie. We all are friends and started working together in the past year - we have a lot of fun together which makes work a breeze.
You should be results-driven and analytical, with a willingness to learn new skills: For the intern and analyst role, we need people to be sales-driven who write web content, collect customer feedback, and research markets. The associate role is for someone who can establish partnerships, help investment diligence, and get dirty building models in excel.
Like the rest of us on the team, you should be in love with the Internet and everything you can do with it. You should enjoy solving tricky problems and be a great communicator, in person, on the phone and in writing. You should be analytical and willing to take on a bunch of different things.
We're looking for a few different roles: one would be a recent college grad who is ready for the startup experience, and another for someone with a couple of years of experience in banking or consulting. We're also open to the idea of an intern. The position is full-time and reports directly to successful serial entrepreneurs.
You’ll work from our headquarters in the mission district of San Francisco (or remotely for the right person... perhaps someone with an ultimate goal to move to SF).
Competitive compensation with $$ and equity for the right candidate – probably beginning as a contractor and moving to full time as the business scales. There will also be massive opportunity professional growth as you learn the ins and outs of scaling a startup. If this describes you and the opportunity seems exciting, lets talk! Send an email to [email protected] to introduce yourself. We’ll be happy to fill you on the details of our companies and tell you more about the opportunities. Sorry for our stealthness - some of our stuff isn't ready for prime time yet!
FWIW- My thoughts are similar on SXSW interactive. I have been going for several years, always finding that there was some amount of serendipity to putting so many nerds and vc-types in a very small space (see PG's essay on SV: http://www.paulgraham.com/siliconvalley.html). This year I found it too chaotic. It's a nightmare to get in anywhere or know what's going on, even if you are "VIP." I had the good fortune to be on several groupme groups which helped though - people can tell you what's hot at a given time. There aught to be an app...
This year I found less interesting people and more corporate schtick. sxsw is so mainstream that Jimmy Kimmel hosted his late night show from sxsw this year. 5 years ago startups were actually using sxsw as successful launching pads, now it's Cottonelle vs. Charmin (actually 2 products that had expensive booths at sxsw this year).
That being said, I'll probably still go next year because I love Austin and many of my friends go.
It's similar to burning man though - every year people complain that it's jumped the shark because it got too corporate, and every year more people go.
