Job Title: Investment Associate

Company Description: Uncork Capital - Elite Seed-Stage Venture Firm

Job Description:
Join one of the nation's most established seed-stage firms, managing over $1.2B and boasting a portfolio with $59B+ in enterprise value. You will work directly with Partners to source, evaluate, and support the next generation of category-defining startups. This is a front-line role for an operator-minded investor to shape the future of AI-native companies.

Location: San Francisco, USA

Why this role is remarkable:

• Direct access to high-conviction Partners at a firm that has backed legends like Fitbit, Sendgrid, and Postmates.

• Rare opportunity to transition from a startup operator role into a high-impact investment position at a top-tier venture firm.

• Deep immersion into the San Francisco ecosystem with a front-row seat to the development of breakout AI and infrastructure startups.

What you will do:

• Source new investments by building authentic relationships with founders and representing Uncork at demo days and technical gatherings.

• Lead investment diligence by evaluating founding teams, conducting customer calls, and performing deep-dive market and product research.

• Support portfolio companies on critical early-stage challenges including go-to-market strategy, technical hiring, and subsequent fundraising preparation.

The ideal candidate:

• Has 2-4 years of experience in a product-facing or business-building role at a fast-growing, AI-native startup.

• Demonstrates strong technical context and founder empathy, potentially as a former YC founder or early employee at a breakout company.

• Possesses a high degree of self-direction and existing connectivity within the San Francisco startup and venture ecosystem.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.
Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
