First Round Investor Role

First Round is a venture capital firm that works with founders exclusively at the earliest stages of company building. We fill in where we can until the team is filled out, tackling crucial early hiring and equipping those who are great at building product with the skills to sell it, too. By getting the foundational firsts right, we increase the odds of finding extreme product-market fit. Our founders' "imagine ifs" have turned into companies like Notion, Roblox, Uber, and Square.

We're searching for an Investor to connect with world-class builders today, help us find the next generation of iconic founders, and bring them into the First Round community. This role is based in San Francisco and you'll need to be in the office at minimum Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Your Core Role as an Investor Will Include :

• Build authentic relationships with technical builders and embed yourself in technical and founder communities across SF.
• Host and organize events that bring together high-quality builders, from intimate gatherings to larger community meetups.
• Research the latest breakthroughs and developments in technology, startups, and research from AI / ML to robotics to developer tools.
• Act as the connective tissue between builders and First Round making sure we're the first call when someone is ready to start a company.
• Come up with ways that you or First Round can help current or future builders you meet.
