Job description

About First Round

First Round is a venture capital firm that works with founders exclusively at the earliest stages of company building, often when all they have is an “imagine if.” 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 work alongside Todd Jackson. You'll 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 with Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday required in-office.

Your core role as an Investor will include :

  • Build relationships with founders everywhere they are - at events, meetups, and across the startup ecosystem.
  • Conduct in-depth diligence on companies under serious consideration for investment.
  • Contribute to research efforts and help craft thoughtful, data-driven investment memos.
  • Support the execution of PMF Method, our intensive four-day program designed for early-stage B2B founders.

You could be a great Investor at First Round if :

  • You have a technical foundation. Whether through a CS degree, engineering experience at a startup, or building something of your own.
  • You excel at building relationships. Others find you approachable, authentic, and easy to connect with.
  • You’re reliable and hyper-organized. No matter how full your calendar or inbox gets, you don’t drop balls or leave people hanging.
  • You’re curious by nature . You dive deep into how things work and constantly explore new ideas, products, and markets.
  • You do whatever it takes to get the job done. When the work requires speed, late nights, or weekend effort, you step up without hesitation.
  • We know this isn’t your traditional investor role! We’re open to people with diverse skills, stories, and journeys.

    Our Values

    At First Round, we value resourcefulness, team-play, excellence and hustle. To give you a sense of what our team is all about, check out our values that guide our work :

  • Try harder for founders. They’re our customers — LPs are our shareholders. Going above and beyond for our founders is what we do. We strive to be a founder's most valuable investor. We respond to their emails in hours, not days. We build candidate pipelines, unprompted. We arrange meal deliveries when they become a new parent. Simply put, we go above and beyond to earn that right to be their first call every time there’s a bump in the road.
  • Give your unvarnished opinions and unwavering support. We strive to be kind, not nice. One of the most (counterintuitively) compassionate things you can do is to offer your unvarnished opinion — along with your unwavering support. That willingness to risk a fleeting moment of discomfort in exchange for someone else’s growth is long-term kindness.
  • Treat the little things like big things. Everything can always be made better. We’re all about the carefully crafted, the nitty-gritty, and the bespoke. Whether it’s hand cutting each nameplate, or debating the optimal shape of the dinner table, no detail is too small to sweat.
  • Make speed a habit. Whatever you’re building, remember that now is better than two weeks from now. We’re fans of starting small and iterating quickly. No matter what we’re launching, you’ll likely hear this question in a meeting : “How soon can we get something out there?”
  • Invent and wander. Never stop experimenting. The best ideas are born out of experimentation. Our flagship programs have always come from our penchant for going out on a limb and approaching problems with a different perspective.
  • Build wider doorways and longer tables . We're in the business of backing people and betting on their ideas — no matter where they come from. While talent is evenly distributed, opportunity is not. First Round is dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive workspace and we encourage people from underrepresented groups to apply!
