Investor - Eniac Ventures (NYC)
Eniac Ventures is adding someone to our investment team in New York. We've been backing incredible founders since 2010, often when they're just an idea and a Figma file. Now we're looking for someone who can help us find the next generation of builders.
Here's what makes this different: We're a small, flat team (four partners, zero bureaucracy). Whoever joins will have more ownership and responsibility than you'd get almost anywhere else in venture.
This role has real upside. For the right person, this role has the potential to have a path to partner. We're hiring someone who wants to become a world-class investor, and we'll give you the ownership and responsibility to get there.
What you'll actually do
Own sourcing: Find the best founders to add to our portfolio. Build relationships around the ideas and trends you're excited about. You'll need to be creative, relentless, and plugged in.
Lead diligence and analysis: Dive deep on markets, products, and teams. Build conviction on what's worth backing. Work with the rest of the team to decide which companies we invest in next.
Represent Eniac: Show up in NYC and SF. Build a reputation as someone founders want to work with.
Shape the firm: We don't have "the way things are done." If you have ideas about how we should invest, source, or operate, we want to hear them. This is a build-it-with-us role.
Who we're looking for
Non-negotiables:
You've done this before (or something close): Prior experience in VC, an accelerator, angel investing, or a founder-facing role at a startup. You're not learning venture from scratch.
You're AI-native: You understand what's hype vs. what's real. You can talk to a technical founder about agents, fine-tuning, or inference costs and keep up.
You're incredibly resourceful: You know how to get to anyone, figure anything out, and make things happen without a playbook. Early-stage venture is not a structured job.
You work harder than most people: Not performatively - you genuinely love going deep and moving fast.
You're curious and low-ego: You ask great questions. You want to learn from founders, not judge them. You're not trying to be the smartest person in the room.
You communicate clearly: You can write a tight investment memo, run a partner meeting, and explain why a deal matters in two sentences.
Big pluses:
Technical background: Engineering, CS, math, or similar. You don't need to be a 10x engineer, but you understand how software gets built.
You've been a founder or early employee: At a venture-backed startup. You know what it's like to build from zero.
The setup
Location: New York City. We're in the office most days. This is an in-person role.
Growth: There's no ceiling. For the right candidate, this role has the potential to grow into a long-term partner path.
