The Associate will support fundraising operations, LP research, and investment diligence at Decile Capital, handling internal workflows and aiding in operational efficiency during fundraising cycles.
Decile Group (https://decilegroup.com) is transforming venture capital into a force for good in the world. We are working to launch 10,000 next-generation venture capital firms by 2030, fundamentally changing the face of venture capital.
We operate an integrated platform for modern venture capital, spanning education, software, and fund operations. VC Lab trains the next generation of fund managers. Decile Hub provides AI-enabled tools for fund operations. Start Fund enables managers to launch institutional-grade funds in under 24 hours. Decile Capital deploys capital into emerging managers.

Role Overview
We’re hiring an Analyst to support Decile Capital’s fundraising operations, LP research, and internal workflows as we scale our emerging manager investment strategy. This is a support and execution role. You won’t be leading fundraising, but you’ll be the person who makes it run: tracking pipelines, following up with LPs, preparing materials, and keeping the machine moving.
The ideal candidate is organized, fast, and relentless about follow-through. Prior fundraising experience is a plus but not required. What matters is sharp judgment, strong writing, and the ability to manage a high volume of detail without dropping balls. This is an opportunity to learn institutional fundraising from the inside at an early-stage platform changing venture capital.
Remote candidates will be considered. Applicants in the U.S. are preferred.
Responsibilities will include:
- Fundraising Support & LP Operations
- Research LPs, family offices, and institutional allocators
- Maintain and track LP pipelines and outreach
- Own LP follow-ups and diligence requests
- Prepare materials for due diligence
- Dealflow & Investment Ops
- Assist with deal intake and internal tracking
- Support due diligence workflows
- Prepare internal summaries and briefing notes
- Internal Coordination & Execution
- Manage scheduling, logistics, and documentation for fundraising processes
- Ensure accuracy and completeness across CRM and internal systems
- Drive operational improvements to increase efficiency
What You Have:
- 0-3 years of professional experience in finance, operations, VC, startups, consulting, or any role where you managed complex workflows and communicated with external stakeholders
- Comfort with CRM tools and data mangement (specific platform experience not required. You’ll learn Decile Hub quickly)
- Excellent written communication and attention to detail
- You move fast, follow up relentlessly, and take pride in closing loops
- Venture Institute or VC Lab Residency alumni
- Prior exposure to venture capital, fundraising, or investor relations
Nice to Have:
What We Offer:
- Meaningful exposure to institutional venture capital fundraising
- Opportunity to work directly with top-caliber investors
- Competitive compensation commensurate with experience
- Remote-first work environment with world-class teammates
- A working schedule including flexible PTO
