Senior VC Associate

GWC is a venture firm investing in industrial AI and enterprise automation, backed by Amazon, Bank of America, Pivotal Ventures, and leading institutions. We win because we're operators - we don't just write checks, we build alongside the best founders.

You're a hunter. You find deals others miss. You build relationships that compound. You move fast, think independently, and know conviction matters more than consensus. You're ready to source, evaluate, and win the best opportunities in industrial AI and enterprise automation. You're AI literate. You want reps, access, and a seat at the table where real decisions are made.

GWC Culture

• We invest like operators, we build with the best founders
• We know conviction, speed, and trust are the strongest VC moats
• We act with high conviction, high integrity, and high-agency
• We live by say-do: commit, deliver, no excuses
• We lead with relationships, trust, and generosity
• We stack hands and stick together
• We win as principals, never passengers

The Role

You'll work closely with the partners to supercharge our pipeline and win the best deals. This includes:

• Sourcing - Hunt down the best founders before everyone else sees them. Build creative sourcing strategies that give us an edge.
• Evaluating - Deep dive on markets, models, and metrics. Develop sharp theses on where markets are going and drive analysis that makes investment decisions. 
• Networking - Build relationships with founders and ecosystem players that lead to deal flow and trust. 
• Supporting - Work with portfolio companies on the problems that matter—GTM, hiring, strategy.

What We're Looking For

• 3-5 years of VC deal team experience, preference for AI and industrials (manufacturing, logistics, agtech, etc)
• Voraciously curious with strong, defensible points of view
• Hunter mentality: you find opportunities, you don't wait for them
• Exceptional communicator with strong analytical skills 
• Independent operator who knows when to collaborate
• Based in San Francisco (or willing to relocate), in office 3 days/week
• There's no perfect resume for this role. We care about drive, judgment, and ability to deliver.

What's In It For You

• Base salary: $150-175k
• Meaningful carried interest
• Direct access to leading limited partners and founders across the industry
• High autonomy work and ability to make meaningful impact in a small, high trust team 
• Senior investing role with mentorship from a seasoned investor
