Hustle Fund Associate (PT + unpaid)

About Hustle Fund

At Hustle Fund, we believe that great founders look like anyone, and come from anywhere. We believe that great investors do, too!

We invest in hilariously early companies across b2b SaaS, digital consumer health, fintech and web3. We see ~1,000 companies each month, meet with 50+ teams, and invest in ~7. We look for great execution and high velocity in the teams we back and the teammates we work with.

We write $150k checks into the best companies and then work with them through Redwood School to support fundraising and customer acquisition. On occasion, we write larger follow on checks, and give founders the opportunity to syndicate with our global Angel Squad community of >2,000 founders, operators, emerging fund managers, and subject matter experts (doctors, lawyers, athletes, consultants, chefs, and more!)

Associate, Venture Fellowship Program Lead

We believe that VC is an apprenticeship business. As such, we’ve created a Venture Fellowship to enable aspiring VCs and syndicate leads in Angel Squad get hands-on experience throughout the deal lifecycle:
