We’re looking for a Junior Climate Investor/Chief of Staff to join our team in the San Francisco Bay asap (ideally January!). 🌟 About Us Vectors Capital is a startup fund focused on making financial returns and climate impact go hand in hand. We’ve closed our first fund and are gearing up to launch our next, with interested LPs already lined up. This next phase is going to be incredible, and you’ll play a critical role in shaping it.

If you’re ready to live and breathe the hustle of early-stage investing, this is the place for you. 🛠 What You’ll Do Your role will be diverse and dynamic, including: 📈 Investing: Sourcing deals, running diligence, writing memos, and helping startups post-investment. 🗓 Operations: Managing meetings, creating PowerPoint slides, and keeping processes organized. 📣 Communications: Hosting events, crafting emails, and maintaining our LinkedIn presence. 🧑🤝🧑 Leadership Support: Acting as Chief of Staff to help manage priorities and ensure seamless team operations. ⚡️ And More: Anything and everything that needs doing in a startup fund environment! 👤 Who You Are We’re looking for someone who checks these boxes: 1️⃣ Mission-Aligned: You deeply care about climate change and believe finance is a powerful tool for impact. 2️⃣ Incredibly Curious: Like a 3-year-old asking "why" about everything—you want to dig deeper and understand the "why," "how," and "what." 3️⃣ Industry Savvy: Experience in climate-related sectors (energy, mobility, manufacturing etc) is a HUGE plus. Bonus for STEM backgrounds! 4️⃣ Fast Learner: You pick things up quickly and adapt with ease. 5️⃣ Global Perspective: International experience and additional languages (Japanese, Korean, European languages) are big bonuses. 6️⃣ Execution-Focused: You’re organized, detail-oriented, and excellent at managing time and priorities. 7️⃣ People-Oriented: Comfortable navigating relationships with startups, co-investors, and team members. 8️⃣ Strong Communicator: You can write, synthesize complex information, and craft beautiful, concise presentations. 💡 What We Offer As a startup fund, we operate lean, and the initial pay reflects this. But if you’re the right fit, we’re committed to growing the pie together. You’ll have the opportunity to work on exciting challenges, shape our next phase of growth, and create real impact in the climate space. 📩 Ready to Apply?

VC jobseekers, here's a PSA with three tips from Nicole on how to break into the sector.

As both One Capital and Coral Capital have been focused on hiring since we closed our most recent funds, we ran an event to talk about venture capital and the various career paths. There was a lot spoken ‘off the record’ for those that came in person, but we’ve also put together a video ready for public viewing (in Japanese). What made the panel particularly interesting was that both firms have such different approaches to venture capital. One Capital is a specialist firm primarily focused on SaaS. Coral Capital is a generalist firm that invests in SaaS, but also Deep Tech, consumer, and many other areas. One Capital positions itself as a ‘hands-on’ firm, while Coral Capital is a “hands-if” firm (we're there if you need us, out of your way when you don't). The difference in views provided the ingredients for a great debate on why each of us have built our firms in certain ways. Ultimately, there are many ways to win in VC and the approach that fits you is a matter of preference and fit. I hope this is helpful to anyone considering a career in venture capital. If you’re interested in applying to either firm, check out our recruiting pages in the comments below! cc Shinji Asada

As a Techstars mentor, venture partner at Pioneer Fund, and YC founder, I have access to thousands of high-growth companies with exceptionally talented operators. The best companies I know are all: - hiring less full-time, US-based talent - hiring more remote-first talent overseas - leveraging offshore talent as well as AI to increase efficiency And the results are staggering. I’m biased, but companies like Spotify, HubSpot, and Automattic use Arc daily to meet highly vetted, English-speaking candidates globally at ~50% of the salary you’d give someone in the US to do the same work. Not only that, but in a world of efficiency, hiring remotely can be faster than hiring for in-office roles as well. Are you operating your business like a founder of the future? Or will someone in Techstars, YC, and similar communities eat your lunch when you’re forcing your employees to #returntooffice because you think it’s a competitive advantage (when it’s not)? Comment below with your thoughts… And repost if you agree. Finally, follow me Weiting Liu for more posts like this on hiring remotely.

Founders don’t always make right decisions when it comes to hiring talent for their startups. I am one of them. In the last two years, I have been proved wrong about my hiring instincts more times than ever. And I am so glad about it! I used to think non-tech folks can’t do well in the tech industry. Rohit Jain proved me wrong. He was a core finance guy who turned out to be one of our strongest champions at Fyno. I thought remote hiring would not work out for our early-stage business, and we should stick to getting talent who lived in the same city. 1/4th of Fyno’s staff today is remote, and they are among the most hard-working and skilled professionals I know. I used to prefer candidates with experience at startups. Two of our current team members have never worked at a startup before this but you’ll never be able to tell. Their agility and passion for work are unmatched. I have realized that all founders hold biases while selecting candidates. So the best solution is to not make this decision by ourselves. Involving more team members, with diverse experiences and different opinions, can help take the best call. In the end, it all boils down to how sincere, committed, self-driven, and positive the individual is. No other tag matters. #entrepreneurship #remotework #hiring #startup

Ventures Together are hiring a Chief of Staff! Our incredible community of 160+ founders & operators invests in 2 companies a week at pre-seed & seed. We're looking for someone manage the team & drive the day-to-day operations of the business, either as a 12-month parental leave cover or as a full time hire. Remote OK (with UK hours) but need proven familiarity with logistics of raising Venture Capital in the UK. JD: https://lnkd.in/eSBchXBm Application: https://lnkd.in/exhehHPc More info in the links above, but here's some notes on what we're looking for: - Seniority (this is not a Founder's Associate role). You've managed teams + spent time at the top table. - Ability to Work at Pace - you get an astonishing amount done each day. You know what the big rocks are, and fit the sand around it. You eat the frog. - Low Ego + “In the Trenches” Mentality - you’re happiest when getting your hands dirty and executing. You focus on executing in the highest-leverage way possible, rather than sitting around contemplating strategy at a high level. - Founder Fundraising Empathy - you’ve worked with Founders in their earliest stages (or raised as a Founder yourself!). You can empathise with how much of a pain fundraising is, and understand the value Angels can bring in the early-stages of company building.
