In this new frontier — one where execution is the difference — investors need to take a more integrated approach to provide the operational counsel, network of talent and experts, and executional resources to impact the trajectory of a company. As former founders and operators, we have scaled teams, driven successful revenue growth, and sold high-growth businesses. We have been there before and are best suited to take on this challenge and propel the next generation of founders.
We are looking to bring on an MBA Investment Associate for the summer of 2019. This presents a rare and exciting opportunity to get in on the ground floor to help deploy capital and invest in a new fund. The MBA Associate will receive tremendous exposure to venture capital and the consumer technology industry while gaining experience in all aspects of the deal process including investment thesis development, diligence and primary research, and portfolio company support. As an M13 Ventures team member, you will be empowered to learn about the behaviors indicative of successful companies in the consumer tech space.
