Sky9 Capital is a leading global venture capital firm. Founded in 2011, the firm focuses on investing in disruptive technologies and outstanding innovators across Consumer Internet, Enterprise/SaaS, Deep Tech (AI/Robotics), Fintech, and Web3 sectors.

The Role
We are seeking a Venture Capital Associate to join our San Francisco team. In this role, you will work directly with our Partners to identify, evaluate, and execute early-to-growth stage investments. You will play a critical role in the investment process, from sourcing the next unicorn to deep-dive technical due diligence.
This is a unique opportunity for an academically accomplished individual with a technical background to bridge the gap between complex engineering innovations and venture-scale business models.
Key Responsibilities
- Deal Sourcing & Thesis Generation – Proactively source new investment opportunities within Silicon Valley's deep tech and consumer ecosystems. Develop independent investment theses in emerging areas (e.g., Generative AI, Robotics, Vertical SaaS, Fintech)
- Due Diligence – Lead rigorous commercial and technical due diligence. This includes market sizing, competitive landscape analysis, financial modeling, and—crucially—assessing the technical viability of engineering-heavy products.
- Investment Analysis – Prepare investment memos and present high-conviction recommendations to the Investment Committee.
- Portfolio Support – Work closely with portfolio founders to support their growth, leveraging Sky9's global network for business development, hiring, international expansion, and strategy
- Market Intelligence – Attend demo days, hackathons, and industry conferences to build a strong network among founders, angels, and other VCs.
Qualifications
Required
- Experience: 1-3 years of high-performance work experience in Product Management, Investment Banking, Private Equity, Venture Capital, or Management Consulting (preferably in technology sectors)
- Local Networks: Well-networked within the San Francisco Bay Area startup community.
- Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering, Computer Science, or a related STEM field is strictly required—we are looking for candidates who can "speak the language" of technical founders
- Academics: Demonstrated history of academic excellence from a top-tier university
Skills & Attributes
- Strong financial modeling and data analysis proficiency
- Deep intellectual curiosity about technology trends and startup business models
- Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; ability to synthesize complex data into clear insights
- Self-starter with an owner's mindset; high integrity; ability to thrive in a fast-paced, unstructured environment
