Moj Mahdara is an entrepreneur and investor. She is Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Kinship Ventures — the venture platform she launched alongside Gwyneth Paltrow — and the founder of Trolley. Before Kinship, Moj was CEO of Beautycon Media, the global festival and media company built at the intersection of beauty and pop culture. She is widely recognized for closing the gap between founders and investors and for advocating for greater diversity in venture capital.

From first check to IPO, Kinship backs the world's TAM creators — founders inventing new markets and building enduring companies that define the next era. Kinship is the definition of High Agency: we back the world's largest TAM creators, founders who build new markets rather than sell into existing ones. We're not afraid of the unknown; we're drawn to it — guided by hard-earned experience, razor-sharp instincts, and the trust we've built over decades.

We need someone who thrives in a startup environment, understands American business culture, and values respect, teamwork, and open communication.

You're equally comfortable diving into a diligence sprint and stepping back to write the memo that tells the Principal what it all means.

You are AI-fluent — using Claude and ChatGPT to accelerate research, drafting, and analysis — but your writing carries your own judgment, not a summary of someone else's. With strong written and verbal communication, you move between LPs, founders, and internal stakeholders in the same day without losing precision in either direction.

• Operational powerhouse — you drive structure, efficiency, and accountability in fast-moving, complex environments.
• AI-native and no-code-fluent — proficient with Claude and ChatGPT for research, drafting, and analysis; you use AI to move faster without losing your own judgment or point of view; you maintain your own Notion dashboards, plugins, and AI agents, and build no-code/AI automations and workflows that give leverage.
• Killer at Notion — you build and maintain Notion boards, databases, and trackers that organize relationships, projects, and priorities across…
