Investment Associate at Uncork Capital
About The Position
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.

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.

Responsibilities
