Telescope Partners is seeking a highly motivated and intellectually curious Associate to join our tight-knit, high-performing team. This is an opportunity to work alongside experienced investors and operators while gaining broad exposure to the world of early growth investing.

We are a thesis-driven investment firm focused on backing standout entrepreneurs building B2B

technology companies. Our approach centers on building thematic conviction, guided by insights from

customers, influencers, and other market participants. We’re currently investing out of our third fund ($275 million) and intentionally maintain a small, concentrated portfolio to deliver high-touch support to every company we back.

What You’ll Do

As an Associate, you will take ownership across three core areas:

1. Investment Sourcing

2. Investment Execution

3. Portfolio Support

What We’re Looking For

  • 1–3 years of analytical experience in investment banking, private equity, venture capital, consulting or a technology operating role.
  • Strong understanding of SaaS business models, key software metrics, and financial analysis.
  • Advanced Excel skills and comfort building and evaluating financial models.
  • Exceptional drive, hunger to win, and a demonstrated history of exceeding expectations.
  • Grit, curiosity, and a proactive mindset, someone who thrives in unstructured environments.
  • A low-ego, team-first attitude with high emotional intelligence and strong communication skills.

Why Telescope?

We blend the excitement of early-stage tech investing with a disciplined focus on business fundamentals. As part of our small, high-conviction team, you’ll have a true seat at the table and meaningful influence from day one. We value sharp thinking, relentless hustle, and a bias toward action. If you're driven to go above and beyond and energized by the idea that your effort directly shapes your trajectory, Telescope is ideal for you.

Send your resume and a short blurb (no more than 200 words) describing a private B2B technology

company you'd like to be an investor in and why to molly@telescopepartners.com. Please include
