The Role
We are excited to kick off a search for a new member of our tech investment team at Canaan in our NYC office. This role is perfect for someone who is excited to learn about new technologies and markets, drive our investment diligence, and become an integral part of our lean tech investment team. We are looking for a motivated Fintech/Consumer Investor to work alongside our investment professionals as a generalist across Canaan’s core technology investment areas. This is a 2-3 year role with previous team members having gone on to join venture-backed startups, attend top-tier business schools, or join other leading venture capital firms.
We are looking for a diverse set of applicants – prior investors have come from engineering backgrounds, been startup founders, and/or have had consulting/finance experience. We believe a variety of backgrounds and experiences could be a compliment to our team, but our top requirement is that you have a passion for early stage startups and working with founders.
