At AngelList, we exist to help startups save the world. We’re building the definitive platform for startups — where they raise money through AngelList Venture, build teams through AngelList Talent, and launch their products through Product Hunt.
The venture team is fundamentally altering how startups raise money by replacing early-stage venture capital with modern technology. We’ve delivered over $2B to more than 4,000 startups and have helped hundreds of fund managers launch their investing careers.
We recently celebrated our ten year anniversary. Here’s a look back at some of our milestones and a preview of what ‘s to come: https://angellist.com/blog/the-next-decade
About The Role
AngelList Venture is seeking a Venture Associate to join our Operations team which is primarily based out of San Francisco. However, this position is open for remote work. The Venture Associate team serves as the primary guide and point of contact for fund managers (GP’s) using AngelList.

- Evaluate opportunities to increase product leverage and retention.
- Act as representative of AngelList at industry conferences and networking events.
- Collaborate with the product, operations, and customer success teams in order to continuously surface new solutions for our GP’s.
Other Characteristics Of The Ideal Candidate
- 2+ years in a client-facing role within a rapidly growing organization, ideally within venture, finance, or fintech.
