Last year, I made a major career shift after 2+ decades of being an entrepreneur and 'agency gal.' Why? Not because I wasn't happy where I was. In fact, the shift seemed a little scary (things that matter often do). These are a few of the things I heard when I interviewed with BIP Ventures: ? We are a team of High IQ/EQ professionals ? The people here are 'humble Type A' performers ? We have fun together (actually) ? We don't suffer a lack of ethics or integrity, and we respect candor ? You'll be expected to think, be creative, push yourself, and contribute - and you'll be rewarded when you do That's all been true. Here's what else I've learned about working at BIP Ventures: ? There's space for ideas, learning, trying new things, building, and growth ? Daily challenges are supported by experienced, generous colleagues ? Team members are the best in their space yet humble about it ? People are genuinely kind, which means we are willing to challenge one another ? Opportunities are (actually) merit-based ? Everyone has the chance to contribute to exceptional outcomes for the firm and those we serve I tell you all this because we are hiring - not just for the firm, but for my team. This opportunity post is personal. ?? We're looking for someone to work alongside me and the skilled and brilliant Tami McQueen and Meriah Grove to support Marketing Operations, Demand Generation, and Stakeholder Engagement efforts. This is a tiger team if ever there was one. Interest piqued? Qualified? Ready to do something completely different?

The job of a venture-backed founder in a nutshell: give a 100x return or you're out of a job in 5-7 years. If VC is the only way to build the company you want to build, then by all means raise it. But know the deal you're making.

Awesome to see Playfair's very own Lucia Polverino featured in Business Insider last week talking about how she landed a role in venture capital She outlined some valuable advice for young VCs who want to enter the field: ??

LTSF friend, Russ Korins, passed on news about a job opening that the venture studio at Forum Ventures posted recently. Excerpts from the post appear below, as does a link to the entire post. "We're looking for a Founder/CEO to tackle the complex challenges of e-discovery. With the proliferation of communication systems like email, Slack, and Zoom, along with diverse document storage solutions, e-discovery has become increasingly complex. Data now resides in various platforms, from project management, CRMs, to other various other platforms. This expansion and diversification has multiplied the complexity of e-discovery tenfold, posing new challenges for legal professionals and IT teams. "As CEO, you’ll lead the charge with a CTO, Designer, GTM, and validation experts by your side until your team is hired. You’ll also have the support of recruitment, HR, legal, finance, and more to scale." https://lnkd.in/e8wjJ2pF #legaltechnology Forum Ventures

Hiring the right people isn't just about filling positions—it's about shaping the very essence of your startup. Each new addition to the team has the power to either enrich or dilute the culture you're striving to cultivate. Need some extra hands finding aligned talent? Reach out to me - Moonhub ??can help!

Startup Studios do not hire Founders to run their portfolio companies. They hire executives for that because the Studio itself is the only Founder. This is what gives Studios an edge over traditional VC as an investor. The Studio typically covers the first 2 rounds of capital internally before it reaches the point where a new executive team comes in with another round of institutional capital to fuel the growth. Proven Validated Executive team in place No more figuring things out Only moving fast from this point on... Considering investing in a Studio? Hit me up and we can discuss some current and future opportunities.

? ???????????? ?????????????????? ? I'm so grateful that I crossed paths last year with one of the partners of this venture capital firm -- he is one of the most incredible humans I know, and this is an OUT OF THIS WORLD opportunity for a Sr. Associate/VP to join their investment team. This is truly a one-of-a-kind venture firm that exists to wholeheartedly support courageous teams in devotion to: ?? Solving our greatest challenges AND doing so in ways that bring out the best of what it means to be human ?? Creating new models for ecosystem level change AND doing so in ways that bring us closer together in relationship ?? Hosting the futures that our hearts know are possible AND doing so in ways that further the flourishing of all life Each of the 4 partners has been on a long inner journey, seeking deeper meaning and asking more nuanced and fundamental questions. They are listening to the futures their minds, hearts and guts are dreaming into. They believe change in the outer world starts with change in the inner world, and their inner work is guided by decades of successful entrepreneurial/investing experience and personal transformation journeys of their minds and hearts. Some examples of their achievements: ? Founded 6 technology companies ? Led 2 public companies ? Founded 3 venture funds, 1 private equity fund, and 1 hedge fund As a Senior Associate/Vice President, you'll be: ? Preparing financial models ? Crafting teasers and marketing materials ? Researching & evaluating new investment and fundraising opportunities ? Support in researching and evaluating strategic direction for the organization Underpinning all the above, this is truly the ultimate playground for launching an entrepreneurial career, and to receive direct mentorship from four serial entrepreneurs and investors. ???? ?? ???????? ???????????????? ????????, ?? ???? ?????? ?????????? ???? ?????? ?????????? ?????????????? ?????????????? ???????? *???? ?????? ??????????* ???????? ???????? ?? ??????????-???????????????? ??????????????, ?????? ?????? ???????? ???? ???? ?????????????? ???????????????? ???? ?????? ???????????????? ?????? ???????? ???? ????????????, ?????? ???? ?????? ?????? ???????? ???????? ?????????? ?????????? ?????? ???????? ???? ?????? ???????????????????? ?????? ????????????. ??

I have a wild idea. What if I hire on some co-founders in different competency areas that complement me and Vlad? What if they come from different backgrounds - tech, marketing, social media, and more? And what if we use our power to create a thriving, profitable business without ever taking outside capital? Why not? #hiring #equity #startup

Are you laid off? Are you sick of corporations? Do you have grit but are not willing to do a startup on your own? Consider joining a venture studio. ?? You have more transparency around company policy. You have foresight about how healthy the financials are. You have support by growing as a venture builder in a community. I'm currently outreaching all venture studios in US and it strikes me how many of them are not laying off people - just reteaming to thrive in other projects. I think in 2024 we'll see 1000+ venture studios looking to grow with around 5 people for their portfolio - that's ~5k jobs up for taking.
