WE’RE HIRING AN EARLY CAREER INVESTOR



Location: Bay Area

Adverb is an early-stage venture capital firm founded in 2023 by Jessica
Verrilli and April Underwood. We back extraordinary founders building breakout,
enduring companies. We’re looking for a full time investor to supercharge our
investing efforts while contributing to the foundation of the firm.


WHAT WE DO:


We invest in early stage companies, typically from pre-seed through Series A.
From idea through product-market fit and beyond, we back founders who bring an
insight about a market, an audience, or problem space combined with drive to
fully realize their vision on the largest possible scale. We support those
founders with our own hard earned experience and access to an exceptional
network of leaders and builders across the industry. More about us can be found
here.


WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR IN AN INVESTOR:


We're looking for someone with an insatiable curiosity about startups and
technology, a passion for working with founders, a high standard of excellence
in their work and unmatched hustle.

We're a small, collaborative, fast moving team so the right person will be ready
and eager to contribute to all parts of the investing process and other firm
needs. This will include researching trends, landscaping industries, sourcing
and analyzing companies and drafting investment memos. The ideal candidate
should understand the financial drivers and valuations of large companies and be
quantitatively sharp. Equally important, they should be product savvy, adept at
navigating the startup ecosystem and building relationships with founders.

Our culture values rigorous and analytical work, intellectual honesty and
curiosity, high energy, self-awareness, an owner-mindset, exceptional work
ethic, and an attunement to how we can all complement each other to excel as a
team.


EXPERIENCE:


5+ years of experience, including 2+ years of investing in some manner (angel
investing, VC investing, corporate investing).

Must be comfortable with deal driven work, working on short timeline and
delivering high-quality, insightful analysis as part of a team.

Demonstrated ability to source, evaluate, and synthesize investment
opportunities.


RESPONSIBILITIES:

involvement.
