If you’re trying to find a gig where you can spend a lot of your time talking with entrepreneurs, entrepreneurial support organizations, and investors so that you can learn and contribute to the field of impact investing, then this is a opportunity worth considering.
Village Capital is the largest org in the world supporting seed-stage, impact-driven startups. Since its launch in 2009, it’s supported more than 1,200 entrepreneurs by tailoring programs to their needs and connecting them with investors that match their vision.
The team is seeking an Innovations Associate to contribute to its programmatic and investment support work. You are a self-starter, insatiable learner, and natural connector with a Bachelor’s degree, at least 3 years of professional experience (among other quals) and an interest in working in a world capital - Washington, DC.
What I love
Village Capital has been named the “best-networked” impact investing org in the world (data lovers should appreciate its network map). This tells me you’ll get some nice exposure within entrepreneurial ecosystems and have the opportunity to expand your network with a bit of effort.
Big gold star for this - 46% of its portfolio companies are founded by women (so gender equity is a focus).
And you’ll have a lot of freedom to shape this role. For those with a growth-mindset, this should feel heavenly!
Don’t forget…
You can follow this org, read about its team, and follow the team members whose profiles inspire you - a great way to build your social impact scenius!
