Senior Associate @ Supernode Ventures in New York City, NY

Founded in 2017, Supernode Ventures is an early-stage VC firm with a mission to make the world a better place through next-level technologies built by battle-tested Founders. The fund is led by Laurel Touby, a former business journalist who became an internet pioneer building one of the first successful online marketplaces in the US. The fund is called Supernode because we use the power of our considerable connections in media and industry to give an edge to our portfolio companies. Supernode Ventures Fund I has invested in 45+ portfolio companies, including some incredible stars such as Braze (IPO), Electric.AI ($90M Series D), Habi.co ($100M Series B), DeepScribe.ai ($30M Series A) and New Age Meats ($25M Series A), among others.

Like Fund I, Supernode Fund II will continue to be a generalist pre-seed and seed-stage vehicle making investments in eCommerce, FinTech, Logistics & Supply Chain, Healthcare Tech, Mobility and Enterprise SaaS software companies across industries. We may do some Consumer investments, but the company must be moat-driven vs. brand-driven. We are also exploring Web 3.

With offices in NYC, Supernode invests in deals across North America, LATAM and Canada, backing strong founding teams who understand the value of applying technology to knotty problems that customers will pay to have solved. Supernode likes to make deals earlier than most traditional VCs not only in order to gain ownership, but also to maximize our ability to help guide our portfolio companies in making the right decisions as they grow.

Supernode is looking for both Summer MBA Associates AND an incredibly talented full-time Senior Associate/Principal with venture experience to join our team.
