About this role
We are hiring a Venture Capital Associate to grow our network of investors who invest directly in private companies, and to manage those relationships over time.
Pairs is a global network of family offices, institutional investors, VCs and angels. We screen deal flow very tightly, and the opportunities that clear our diligence go out to the network. We invest alongside them too.
Responsibilities
- This role sits on the investor side of Pairs. You bring in investors who back companies directly, understand what each of them looks for, and introduce them to opportunities that fit. You also open new investor relationships every month, using the same approach that built your existing ones.
- You know which investors in your network have made a direct investment in the past year, what they invest in, and at what stage and check size. When a founder needs qualified investor meetings at short notice, you know whom to approach first.
- We are not raising a fund. Our investors invest directly in companies, so a network made up mainly of fund LPs or institutional mandates is not the right fit for this role, however strong it is.
- Our platform handles the pipeline, research and follow-up. Your time goes to investor conversations, and to judging which investors are ready to commit capital.
- You will work directly with the two co-founders and our investor team. The organisation is flat, so you will see first-hand how we screen opportunities, what we decline and why.
- Your current title matters less than the quality of your relationships. We are looking for someone who has built those relationships personally and can explain exactly how.
- What you will own
