ABOUT US
2048 Ventures is an early stage venture capital firm. We invest in exceptional first-time entrepreneurs who are building businesses differentiated through technology. We are based in NYC, and invest in founders from New York, Boston and Emerging Tech Cities.
At 2048 Ventures, our mission is to partner with exceptional first-time founders, to provide capital and hands-on help at the earliest stage. We are happy to be the first institutional check, and leverage our network of advisors and investors, to help founders take their startups to the next level.
ABOUT THE ROLE
This is a unique opportunity to experience and learn in the earliest-stage, fast-paced venture environment.
You will be involved in every aspect of the operation of a venture firm, and you will learn about VC investing in a high-paced environment (averaging > 1 investment/deal per month).
This role requires an excellent communicator, who is extraordinarily organized, tech-savvy and goes the extra mile in everything they do. The ideal candidate is able to juggle multiple projects, demonstrates positivity in all interactions, is open to receiving feedback and shares the Partners’ passion for problem-solving.
This is a fast-paced role that reflects the dynamic nature of the Partners’ multi-faceted roles and work styles. The ideal candidate will embrace the intensity of this role with enthusiasm and composure, and is comfortable interfacing with the Partners, our prospective and portfolio Founders, as well as our Advisory Network, LPs and various Administrative Resources (legal, accounting, fund admin).
Compensation is a mix of base, bonus and carry – commensurate with experience.
