You will manage all deal flow for the most active investment fund in Texas, meeting entrepreneurs, evaluating startups, and managing the deal process from term sheet to wire transfer. Most of the new deals will be inbound from our Venture Associates, Venture Partners, General Partners, and there are also a lot of follow-on investments in the existing portfolio. Once we decide to invest, you need to shepherd deals through the process and will often be managing a dozen deals at a time.
You run the weekly fund meeting where we review deals with the General Partners. Touching every deal that flows through Capital Factory, the most active early stage investor in Texas, you’ll have a pulse on the best startups in the state and be a constant magnet for referrals from other VC’s. In two or three years you’ll gain a decade worth of experience.
