Investment Partner

About Matrix  As company builders turned investors, we know the startup ecosystem from all angles. We've been doing this for 40+ years and have seen many trends come and go. Our focus on company building and long-term relationships with founders endures—because we care about them and their success is ultimately what matters. We're excited by good ideas that, when supported properly, can make a big impact in the world. We find these ideas by rejecting conventional wisdom, spotting potential early, and having the conviction to back founders before it's evident to everyone else. About the role   We are looking to bring on an Investment Partner. In this role, you will source and evaluate technology startups for investment. Often, the company at that point will consist of little more than a founder with an idea or a prototype. We think those who do well in this job develop unique, high-trust relationships with strong founders. The Investment Partner will work side by side with each of the partners at Matrix, spending time to understand their areas of expertise and work to support them collectively. Additionally, you will be expected to form your own investment thesis, debate this thesis in the larger group, then engage, diligence, champion, advise, and help the highest-potential startups in that area. You should be extremely comfortable evaluating technology projects independently. We will teach you the rest – valuation metrics, term sheets, Board meetings, etc. Our goal is that people who start in this role will over time grow into senior leaders in the firm.
