MBA Associate

16VC is an early-stage venture capital firm investing globally across AI, SaaS, fintech, deep tech, and emerging technologies. We’ve recently launched our Founder Fellowship with 80+ startups and 150+ founders worldwide, and are building our investment and platform engine from the ground up.

We are hiring a remote MBA Associate (USA) to work directly with the founding team across investing, founder engagement, and growth initiatives.
