I’m hiring a Chief of Staff who’s as obsessed with the inception stage of a company as we are at @firstround . The earliest days of company-building require a crazy work ethic and irrational tolerance for delayed gratification. The work we do at First Round is in service of founders in this phase, and we try to embody that same ethos. In venture, much like in startups, remarkable outcomes are powered by thousands of small, consistent inputs. A lot of the work that goes into the Chief of Staff role is unglamorous work — inbox triaging, late nights drafting investment memos, testing new automations or workflows for our partners. The role also gives you the closest seat there is to see the work it takes to lay the foundation of great companies, and you’ll get to shape how First Round shows up to support exceptional founders.
