VC Internship @ Foundation Capital in San Francisco, CA

Founded in 1995, Foundation Capital is a Silicon Valley-based venture firm that has pioneered early-stage investing for 30 years. Throughout our history, we’ve garnered $6B assets under management, 34 IPOs and ICOs, and 80+ acquisitions—and have been early backers of Netflix, Sunrun, Solana, Lending Club, Cerebras, and more. Across our enterprise AI, fintech, and crypto practices, we are the first check-in for technical founders (typically their lead investor), helping them bring products to market and go from $0 to $1M in revenue.

This is an opportunity to join a small, collaborative, fintech-focused team investing in companies at the earliest stage possible. You will evaluate investment opportunities, grow our Bay Area fintech network, and work directly with senior firm members.

You will work alongside our Fintech Team in identifying and evaluating fintech opportunities while being given significant autonomy to help nurture and expand our Bay Area fintech network. This is a part-time opportunity with flexibility in working hours and program duration.

We have available office space in both San Francisco and Palo Alto and will provide reimbursement for event and travel expenses as agreed upon.
