Scrub Capital

JD: Scrub Capital Venture Fellow – Community 

Apply here -> https://forms.gle/oZxUKFAePWAoCgNz5 

Overview

Scrub Capital is a new early stage venture capital firm investing in pre-seed through Series A healthcare startups. Our unique model incorporates a 700 member community of the most exceptional practicing clinicians, clinician founders, and clinician operators working in healthcare.  These “Clinicians who VC” (CwVC) are involved in every aspect of fund operations – sourcing, diligencing, and supporting the portfolio. You can read more in our recent public launch announcements here and here. 

Venture Fellows are a critical part of our team, and work closely alongside the founding General Partners. Being a Fellow is a great opportunity for professionals at any career stage excited to roll up their sleeves in exchange for exposure to healthcare startups and venture capital. We currently have two Fellows – one focused on investment operations, the other on the clinician community (this role). We support the CwVC community beyond the fund with a private Slack channel, high profile speakers, training in early stage investing, professional opportunities, and in person social events. This is where you come in!

Logistics 

Venture Fellows are 6 month, 10 hour a week remote engagements that can be extended one time by mutual agreement for another 6 months. While most of the work is asynchronous, there is enough happening during normal US working hours that we cannot consider Fellows who live outside the United States or who are not conducting the bulk of the work between 6am – 6pm PT M-F. Venture Fellows currently report to the Scrub Capital Managing Director Rebecca Mitchell. 

Compensation 

This role is best for someone who finds value in the learning experience. We can work with you on course credit requirements if relevant. That said, you will be compensated at $15 per hour, or your local minimum wage if that is higher. We regretfully do not offer benefits at this time.
