Age1
age1 is an early-stage venture capital firm focused on catalyzing companies that extend healthy human lifespan. We back contrarian founders tackling the highest-leverage problems in the aging field. We put founders first and provide strategic support, resources, and a deep network to help visionary teams build generational biotech companies.
THE ROLE
We’re hiring a Principal and/or Partner at age1. In this role, you’ll work closely with the Managing Partners to drive sourcing, diligence, portfolio support, and venture incubation.
The ideal candidate loves meeting new people, is capable of scientific due diligence, naturally connects with top-tier talent, holds a high bar for quality, and knows how to execute and get things done. Our team is currently distributed across San Francisco and Boston, with a strong preference for this role to be based in San Francisco.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Sourcing
- Identify and back top-tier biotech founders working on aging/longevity
- Lead founder outreach and engagement
Diligence
- Lead scientific due diligence efforts and investment memo writing
Portfolio Support
- Support portfolio companies with recruiting, milestone development, fundraising, board roles, and whatever else is needed
Venture Incubation
- Develop an internal roadmap for the future of the aging field
- Define internal thesis areas and co-create incubation plans
Community
- Architect community engagement strategy
- Serve as a key representative of age1 in the longevity and biotech ecosystem
WHO YOU ARE
Applies across levels, but expectations scale with seniority
- You have a great read on people and talent. While building community, you know exactly who to filter directly to the GP. While communicating with founders, talent, LPs, co-investors, and portfolio companies, you have a supernatural sense of their needs and feelings.
- You love meeting strangers.
- You have a bias toward action and ownership. You get stuff done.
- No task is beneath you, too boring, or beyond your abilities. You’re happy to jump into an exec assistant role when needed, enjoy organizing events (even if it means frantically Uber Eats-ing drinks or a whiteboard at the last minute), and don’t hesitate to step in and support portfolio companies on short notice.
- You have a passion for longevity, believe in the mission of the fund, and are invested in its future.
