Novel Growth Partners (www.novelgp.com) is a Kansas City revenue-based fund with a mission to improve access to capital for technology companies in underserved markets. Novel’s fund is focused on investing in growing tech companies in the middle of the country. Our approach is unique because we provide financing to companies that don’t fit the traditional venture-capital model but can leverage targeted amounts of capital to drive stable growth.
Strong candidates will have finance, consulting, strategy, or corporate development experience and find intrinsic reward in an unstructured environment where individuals own their actions and have outsized impact. This role requires that you can function with the highest level of integrity within a highly confidential environment. You must believe in and demonstrate the utmost respect and empathy for all entrepreneurs and their work. If you are looking for a chance to “break into” venture capital, this is your opportunity!
