Alpaca VC is an all grit-no bullshit team of five investors who are committed to finding and supporting the best founders throughout the formative years of the startup lifecycle. We are a highly engaged team that blends collaboration and autonomy, and who values results and learning over rigid office hours. Everyone on the team is a solo-preneuer, yet no one hesitates to ask for help or assistance. We've been lucky to partner with top portfolio companies, including Compass, Sandbox, Latch, Imperfect Foods, Upstream, Transfix, FirstBase, Monument, and more.
We are looking for “Employee #7” — a new Analyst. It’s an opportunity for someone looking to break into venture and get meaningful exposure to many facets of the industry: founders, other investors, and deal structure/terms and operators. To see a variety of deals and get creative and employ “out of the box” thinking. We encourage a founder’s mentality — seeking out responsibility, forming strong opinions, leveraging your unique skill sets, and continually developing personally and professionally.
You’ll support a critical business function — evaluating potential deals — and will help us to complete research on companies and perform due diligence so we can make quick investments with conviction. It’s a chance to partner closely with the entire team and in doing so develop special relationships.

Due to a relationship with a Limited Partner (an investor in our Funds), you will be based predominantly in Hawaii, with frequent travel on the 'Web3 Event/Conference Circuit'.
