We’re looking for the crazy ones that want to change the world. If you’re just looking for a job, this isn’t for you.
Our Mission:
Entrepreneurism is the #1 global factor for improving social mobility, creating jobs, improving access to education and healthcare. Our mission is to change the world by connecting entrepreneurs around the world with the capital they deserve to make their dreams come true and, most importantly, provide returns for their investors.
Industry Background:
The Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act was passed as bipartisan support of entrepreneurship and small business growth. Since the passing of the JOBS Act, new investment marketplaces have opened up; these marketplaces are some of the most important online equity creators for startups and small business owners, as they act as the means by which accredited and non-accredited investors alike, invest in startups and small businesses that need capital to grow out their business, operations, or product.
Market Size:
We’re at the precipice of a major global change in how people invest, how they interact with financial institutions, and manage their money. The U.S. industry alone is projected to have a global market cap of one hundred billion dollars by 2025. Newchip is perfectly positioned to gain a large piece of the market and we’re building a team to go all the way with us to achieve it.

Role Overview:
We are looking for a Venture Associate to be the face of Newchip for our investors (users). You will work directly with investors that use our platform and act as their main point of contact throughout the investment process. The Community & venture Associate will need to be hyper-aware about Newchip’s available startups and will constantly look for opportunities to give these startups exposure to potential investors, customers, VIP’s and partners. You will be responsible for developing a keen understanding of all investment deals on Newchip and work with our sales and marketing teams to match our investor user base with investment opportunities. Essentially, this role is multifaceted: you will be responsible for evaluating Newchip’s investment opportunities to provide a concierge experience to our investor user base, as well as building meaningful relationships with other venture capital partners, accelerators and VIP’s to learn and source other potential investment opportunities. This roll is full time only, no contractors or part-time. Newchip offers market-based compensation and incentives.
