Full-Time Venture Capital Investor - 2026 Start

ABOUT THE INVESTOR ROLE

G2 Investors are involved in every step of our processes and will: 

• Conduct industry deep-dives to map new sub-sectors and identify areas of potential value
• Develop and own thematic investment theses aligned with G2’s focus areas
• Source and evaluate deals by building a pipeline of promising opportunities
• Lead diligence workstreams, including market analysis, competitive benchmarking, financial modeling, and technology assessments
• Drive investment memos and presentations, preparing and defending recommendations during Investment Committee discussions
• Support portfolio companies post-investment through strategic projects and operational support, often as active Board Observers
• Build and leverage a strong network of founders, investors, and industry experts to enhance sourcing and diligence efforts
• Represent G2 externally at conferences, demo days, and other industry events

HOW AN INVESTOR WILL WIN AT G2

A successful Investor will:

• Exhibit sharp investment judgment, with the ability to independently form and defend a point of view on markets, technologies, and companies
• Be relentlessly curious and enjoy going deep on complex industries, business models, and emerging technologies
• Be an effective deal athlete - able to lead analyses, anticipate risks, and drive processes forward with limited oversight
• Be a clear and compelling communicator, synthesizing complex information into concise investment theses for internal and external audiences
• Be self-motivated, proactive, and resourceful — take ownership of workstreams, find answers without being told where to look, and move projects to completion
• Demonstrate a “whatever it takes” mentality, including the willingness to work through ambiguity and tackle unglamorous tasks to get to the right answer
• Show genuine passion for sustainability-focused technology businesses and alignment with G2’s mission

If you want to learn about venture capital and growth investing in sustainability technology companies, there is no better job. You will get to see everything.

QUALIFICATIONS: 

We are looking for candidates who have: 

• At least four years of work experience requiring critical analysis of business models and financial projections. Investing, banking, or consulting experience preferred
• Established record as a curious “self-starter”
• Strong organizational skills, excellent analytical reasoning, and an ability to present complex ideas and information in simple persuasive form, both written and orally
• Genuine passion for investing, the entrepreneurial process, and sustainability
• Desire to be a connector / develop a robust network, and work in a collaborative trust-based team environment
• Professional and personal maturity that demonstrates unquestionable integrity and sound business instincts

START DATE / DURATION

Full-time starting late Summer 2026. Expectation of 2-3 years in this role, after which the Investor will continue as a Principal or Partner or transition out of G2, often to operating roles at a G2 portfolio company or other startup. 

LOCATION

Our office is in Portola Valley, California. Most of the team works in the office 3-4 days a week. We expect Investors to be based in the Bay Area - this is not a remote role.
