IA Ventures is seeking one full-time associate / community manager and one full time analyst to join the investment team in our New York City office.
—————-
IA Ventures funds early-stage Big Data companies creating competitive advantage through data and we’re looking for two start-up junkies to join our team - one full-time associate / community manager and one full time analyst. Because there are only four of us (we’re a start-up ourselves, in fact), we’ll need you to help us investigate companies, learn about industries, develop investment theses, perform internal operations, organize community events, and work with portfolio companies—basically, you can take on as much responsibility as you can handle.

Our hope and expectation is that the successful candidates will spend a couple of years with us and then move on to a start up or pursue other exciting opportunities.
