Base Ecosystem Fund Lead

Join Coinbase Ventures To Build The Future Of Onchain Economy

Ready to be pushed beyond what you think you're capable of? At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom in the world. It's a massive, ambitious opportunity that demands the best of us, every day, as we build the emerging onchain platform and with it, the future global financial system. To achieve our mission, we're seeking a very specific candidate. We want someone who is passionate about our mission and who believes in the power of crypto and blockchain technology to update the financial system. We want someone who is eager to leave their mark on the world, who relishes the pressure and privilege of working with high caliber colleagues, and who actively seeks feedback to keep leveling up. We want someone who will run towards, not away from, solving the company's hardest problems. Our work culture is intense and isn't for everyone. But if you want to build the future alongside others who excel in their disciplines and expect the same from you, there's no better place to be. While many roles at Coinbase are remote-first, we are not remote-only. In-person participation is required throughout the year. Team and company-wide offsites are held multiple times annually to foster collaboration, connection, and alignment. Attendance is expected and fully supported. Coinbase Ventures is investing in the Base Ecosystem, specifically the doers and dreamers who share Coinbase's mission of creating more economic freedom for the world and can help build the onchain economy. We develop research and insights at the edges of onchain innovation, invest in early stage teams / projects in the crypto / web3 ecosystem, and support our Base Ecosystem Fund portfolio of over 60+ companies around the world.
