The Opportunity

Are you looking for a front-row seat to building a business from 0 to 1? This isn’t your typical "coffee-run" internship. You will be the right-hand to a founder with a background in Tech Startups and Venture Capital. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at how companies are built, scaled, and funded, receiving direct mentorship in exchange for high-level execution.

The Mission

With a portfolio of projects and businesses, I am currently managing multiple high-stakes workstreams. I need a "Force Multiplier"—someone who can absorb context, handle the execution, and keep me accountable so I can focus on high-level strategy.

Your Responsibilities

  • Operational Accountability: You will be my "human dashboard." You’ll track my goals, follow up on pending tasks, and ensure we are hitting our weekly milestones.
  • Workflow Optimization: Help me reduce context switching by managing my calendar, triaging communications, and organizing project boards (Notion, Trello, or Linear).
  • Collaborative Brainstorming: Act as a sounding board for new ideas, take meeting notes, and help synthesize messy thoughts into actionable plans.

Who You Are

  • High Agency: You don’t wait for a manual. If you don’t know how to do something, you YouTube it, learn it, and get it done.
  • Compulsive Communicator: You are someone who feels genuinely uneasy if you haven't shared an update. "Radio silence" bothers you. You believe that if a task isn't communicated, it isn't finished.
  • Eager to Learn: You are likely a student or recent graduate looking to break into the startup/VC world. You value learning and "sweat equity" over a cushy corporate desk.
  • Organized to a Fault: You find peace in checklists and well-organized folders.
  • Tech-Fluent: You are comfortable with AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude), productivity software, and general digital operations.

What’s In It For You?

  • Direct Mentorship: You will learn the from my playbook as someone who has been on both sides of the table (Tech founder & investor).
  • Startup & Investor Exposure: Gain insight into not only how startup founders make decisions under ambiguity, you'll also see how investors think, how deals are structured, and what makes a startup venture-backable.
  • Career Fast-Track: If you prove indispensable, this role can evolve into a Chief of Staff or Operations Lead role as the new venture scales.

How to Apply

Don’t just send a resume. Send a 60-second video telling me:

  • One system or tool you’ve used to organize your own life.
  • Why you want to learn from a tech founder/VC.
