Growth Warrior Capital
Growth Warrior Capital invests at Seed and Series A in dangerous technology companies led by diverse and female founders, building platforms that fundamentally change the way we work, earn, and build wealth.
We are a team of operators advancing the funding landscape for women and founders of color, grounded in our Managing Partner Promise Phelon’s 20 years as a founder and exec in Silicon Valley.
As we continue deploying, we are seeking an experienced VC investor to head up our deal team. This role is suited to operators-turned-VC, or folks who come with venture experience who also enjoy building.
Key functions:
- Day-to-day senior deal lead: run deals from top of funnel to disco, diligence, and close
- Guide founder/company assessment and internal rubrics; write GWC investment memos, and socialize to relevant co-investors
- Build and lead the deal team
- Align with the GP’s vision and get to know how she views deals; handle requests for specific research above and beyond “standard” disco
- Roll up your sleeves in getting to know founders and companies that come our way, and be instrumental in bringing founders to GWC that haven’t heard of us yet
- Partner with LPs and preferred VCs to navigate co-invest opportunities
- Manage our deal CRM and weekly/quarterly reporting (internal and for LPs)
- Help build our Venture Partner model (esp. scouts)
- Build fellows program; hire interns
- Have a voice in our thought leadership
- Establish our presence in Austin and around Texas as a fund that founders and investors want to work with
What we’re looking for:
- Experience in tech and/or VC
- Proven ability to add value to portfolio at all stages of growth
- Thesis development; strong quant and qual research skills
- Understand how founders work, and speak their language
- Participation in the fundraising and IR processes
- Get sh*t done attitude — we are small and we work hard
- Deep understanding of the funding landscape for diverse and female founders — come with a thesis about what’s working/what’s not
- Familiarity with and relationships within the Austin / TX startup ecosystem
- Intellectual curiosity and track record of digging into trends
- Values: proactivity, bring a strong POV, no fear, committed to driving change through capitalism, take ownership of your projects, be energetic, be effective, be memorable
What success looks like:
Ultimately, we want this role to supercharge our pipeline with incredible diverse and female founders, run deals end-to-end, and shape our deal team.
- Increase on-thesis, high-quality deal flow
- Deliver a smooth, repeatable deal eval and diligence process (we have some proprietary ingredients here to build around!)
- Contributing to portco success
- Driving deals that help accelerate our trajectory in this next phase of growth
This role is based in Austin, TX. We primarily work from home but spend a lot of time on the ground in the community. We will have in-office days in the future.
