About Glasswing Ventures 

Glasswing Ventures is a first-capital-in venture capital firm building the future of enterprise and  security through AI and frontier technology. Founded in 2016 in Boston, Glasswing has made over  70 investments, acting as the first institutional investor in more than 90% of its portfolio companies.  The firm closed Fund III in November 2025 with over $200 million in capital commitments. With an  extraordinary team, a 70-member advisory council, and deep ties to top-tier AI research universities,  Glasswing is widely recognized as the venture firm that understands AI best, delivering a curated  Trust Network that accelerates founder growth and category creation. 

About the Role 

AI is rewriting the rules of enterprise and cybersecurity, and Glasswing is writing the first checks into  the founders making it happen. We are investing at the earliest stage during the most significant  technology shift in a generation, and we are looking for an Investment Associate who wants to be at  the center of it. 

You will have a seat at the table. Glasswing just closed Fund III with over $200 million in capital  commitments, and you will be deploying that capital alongside our Partners from day one. The  companies you back in this role could define how enterprises operate and stay secure for the next  decade. You will work directly with Partners on every deal, not behind layers of hierarchy. You will  tap into our 70-member advisory council of former CTOs, CISOs, and operators from the world’s  leading technology companies. And with 70+ portfolio companies already in the Glasswing network,  you will build real operating experience alongside the founders you help fund. 

If you thrive at the frontier of technology, are energized by big ideas, and want a front-row seat to the  next wave of category-defining companies, this is the role. 

Key Responsibilities 

  • Hunt for the next wave of cutting-edge AI-native startups through founder outreach,  ecosystem immersion, and deep market intelligence 
  • Be the first to spot disruptive technologies: conduct hands-on due diligence across market  sizing, competitive dynamics, product differentiation, and founder-market fit 
  • Craft compelling investment memos and deal narratives that bring bold ideas to life for the  partnership 
  • Build conviction through data: develop models that stress-test unit economics, growth  trajectories, and paths to market dominance 
  • Own and evolve sector theses at the intersection of AI, enterprise software, and  cybersecurity, shaping where the fund places its biggest bets 
  • Roll up your sleeves with portfolio founders: help them navigate product-market fit, GTM  strategy, hiring, and follow-on fundraising 
  • Be the face of the firm at the most exciting events in tech: demo days, hackathons,  conferences, founder meetups, and accelerator showcases

Glasswing Ventures is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an  inclusive environment for all employees.

We are first capital in because we believe before the crowd does. 

We are a flat team of builders. Low ego, high impact. Everyone rolls up their sleeves. We do good and do well. Impact and returns are not in conflict. 

We are all different, and that is exactly why we win. We build trust first. Everything else follows.
