Fast-growing group of companies / investment fund looking for analysts / associates

Business Analyst and Associate (San Francisco Preferred) Intern (SF Preferred, Remote could be ok for the right candidate)

We are a few entrepreneurs/investors looking for a hard-working, jack of all trades to help us scale our business operations. We have a seed-stage investment fund, a small hedge fund, and three startups (one consumer internet, one enterprise financial services, and one consumer packaged goods) - you will have the opportunity to work on all of them. Our backgrounds are varied - one former venture capitalist, one hedge fund analyst, one former consultant with a successful startup exit, one corporate / M&A lawyer, one Ph.D, and one musician/startup junkie. We all are friends and started working together in the past year - we have a lot of fun together which makes work a breeze.

You should be results-driven and analytical, with a willingness to learn new skills: For the intern and analyst role, we need people to be sales-driven who write web content, collect customer feedback, and research markets. The associate role is for someone who can establish partnerships, help investment diligence, and get dirty building models in excel.

Like the rest of us on the team, you should be in love with the Internet and everything you can do with it. You should enjoy solving tricky problems and be a great communicator, in person, on the phone and in writing. You should be analytical and willing to take on a bunch of different things.

We're looking for a few different roles: one would be a recent college grad who is ready for the startup experience, and another for someone with a couple of years of experience in banking or consulting. We're also open to the idea of an intern. The position is full-time and reports directly to successful serial entrepreneurs.

You’ll work from our headquarters in the mission district of San Francisco (or remotely for the right person... perhaps someone with an ultimate goal to move to SF).

Competitive compensation with $$ and equity for the right candidate – probably beginning as a contractor and moving to full time as the business scales. There will also be massive opportunity professional growth as you learn the ins and outs of scaling a startup. If this describes you and the opportunity seems exciting, lets talk! Send an email to thisisanewfund@gmail.com to introduce yourself. We’ll be happy to fill you on the details of our companies and tell you more about the opportunities. Sorry for our stealthness - some of our stuff isn't ready for prime time yet!

Hey everyone, hope your April is off to a killer start! Like in last month's Who is hiring I wanted to share all our numbers for complete transparency. March just came to a close and Buffer stands at 1.4M total users served by a small 21 person team spread across 14 cities and 5 continents. 130,000 of our users are actively using the product each month. We generated $350,000 in March, and we have $580,000 in the bank…

I'll be transparent and say: I think it's crazy you expect developers to take a 45 day risk/trial period, in order to work at the company. I'm an experienced dev (3+ years of wholesome experience + a solid work portfolio) and I could even deal with the rather significant pay cut I'd be taking... but a pay cut + risking not having employment, when I'm already settled in a current job? No thanks. But good luck.

Isn't the "45 day trial" just a disclosure of a reality that is always the case? Unless you're going to get an actual contract, which as far as I know is rare for this kind of work, you're always technically on a "trial," even after years at the company.

Khaaaaan! Academy — Mountain View, CA (we also love interns, and remote is a possibility) We're a small, non-profit tech startup trying to give a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere. Here's a testimonial we received this week: ================================== Two year ago, I would never have imagined that any 13-year-old could be in Calculus BC. Today, I am 13 and wrapping up my second semester of it, a…

I'm another dev at KA.

Just wanted to chime in that we're also hiring general (not just mobile) devs, data scientist-engineers, general product designers, and interns in all of the above categories!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

some more information: We play Ultimate or Soccer on Fridays, we have a company band, we work sane hours, we don't track vacation (and not in the 'so nobody ever takes any' sense), and we Get Stuff Done. You'll learn a lot from working here, regardless of your current level of experience. You'll work directly with a world-class data science team (winners of multiple KDD Best Paper and other awards) that keeps us on t…

It's good to know that you play Ultimate or Soccer on Fridays, but a more relevant information would be your location and/or if you accept remote applicants.

Sorry about that! We're in New York, and currently we're not hiring remote but we will help the right candidate relocate.
