With over $2.5 billion assets under management, 77 unicorns in our portfolio, and 51% of top seed-stage deals in the US in 2020, Rocket Fund is the nexus of venture capital. Our strategy of building a scalable, innovative platform that makes spinning up and managing funds a breeze for both fund managers (GPs) and investors (LPs) has enabled us to own the early-stage venture market. The Venture Associate team serves as the primary guide and point of contact for fund managers (GP’s) using Rocket Fund.
Reporting into our Venture GP Relations Director, you will work internally with sales, support, and product teams to optimize platform usage and solve problems. Externally, you will onboard GPs and be the trusted source of best practices for all aspects of running and building their venture business: understanding each GP’s unique needs and building lasting relationships with some of the world’s best experienced and emerging managers. In this position, you can work from our San Francisco office or remotely from anywhere in the US.
