YOUR PROFILE
What We’re Looking For
Outstanding VCs come from all walks of life, so we are not expecting any particular background or set of prior experience.
Instead, we will be looking for the following character traits:
Growth Mindset – Intellectual curiosity is one of La Famiglia’s north star. We are looking for people who can quickly absorb knowledge, who thrive off of new ideas and pushing their/our thinking to continuously improve. We want to be able to learn from you and vice versa.
(Self-)Awareness – We spend a majority of our time talking to and building relationships with people, and we can only understand them if we understand ourselves first. Our job requires enormous amounts of emotional intelligence, empathy and sensitivity to understand and assess intangibles (motivations, needs, wants) and juggle with multiple and sometimes opposite interests.
Courage – Startups and technology move fast. We operate in shifting sands, with acute levels of stress and uncertainty. We have to make high-stake decisions that have inherent risk, with little validation.
Resilience – We need to be able to build strong convictions and sell ideas, concepts and visions while maintaining excitement and holding our ground in the face of ambivalence and opposition.
Independence – Besides working in a low-visibility industry, we are a tiny and partly remote team. This means we seek people who are proactive, self-reliant, able to navigate with only high-level direction and can cope with minimal amounts of face-to-face team time.
Also note that although English is our main language, German would be a plus.
