Growth Warrior Capital invests at Seed and Series A in dangerous technology companies led by diverse and female founders, building platforms that fundamentally change the way we work, earn, and build wealth.
We are a team of operators advancing the funding landscape for women and founders of color, grounded in our Managing Partner Promise Phelon’s 20 years as a founder and exec in Silicon Valley.
As we continue deploying, we are seeking a leader to build and run our platform function. This role is suited to super generalists, who are energized by working with founders, co-investors, LPs, and ecosystem players.
Key functions:
- Collaborate with Chief of Staff to bring our Alpha Playbook to life - codify our startup operating experience as a “guide” for our portcos
- Strategize and execute events for founders and investors in important markets
- Establish our presence in Austin and around Texas as a fund that founders and investors want to work with
- Contribute to marketing and comms efforts, internally and externally
- Develop relationships with partners/vendors, talent, and corporate customers that are suitable for our portcos; act like a matchmaker between what our founders need and your relationships
- Enhance our CRM to mine for customers and talent for portcos
- Help build our Venture Partner model
- Partner with COS on daily operations
What we’re looking for:
- Experience in tech and/or VC
- Familiarity with and relationships within the Austin / TX startup ecosystem
- Understand how founders work, and speak their language
- Get sh*t done attitude — we are small and we work hard
- Ability to work independently, from strategy to execution, but know when to ask for help
- Deep understanding of the funding landscape for diverse and female founders — bonus points for coming with a thesis about what’s working/what’s not
- Program management and writing skills are critical in this role, business development/sales experience is a big plus
