## About Discipulus Ventures Discipulus Ventures is an early-stage hardtech and critical-industry fund and residency based in El Segundo, CA. We've invested in founders like Augustus Doricko (Rainmaker), Ted Feldmann (Durin), Peter Goldsborough (Rune), and Denver Rayburn (Framework). We're backed by Palmer Luckey (Anduril/Oculus), Antonio Gracias (Valor Equity Partners), Kevin Hartz (Eventbrite, A* Capital), and many more. ## The role We're hiring our first full-time team member to work directly with the GP. This is a founding role spanning investing and operations - the title is Founding Investor because the investing work is the heart of it. You'll work on everything from sourcing and picking companies to running Cohorts and pitching LPs. ## Year-one outcomes The clearest measure of success is sourcing: if you've originated 5+ founders we go on to invest in, this role is working. By the end of year one you will have: - Sourced 5 of the 10 founders for a Cohort cold - originated the relationship, ran the first call, wrote the initial memo - Taken every first call from inbound applications and built your own filtering system - Helped improve our sourcing/filtering engine - Hosted 6 community events (bonfires and dinners) and 2 large events - Generated warm intros for portfolio companies into the funds that matter, and brought co-investors into our deals - Supported founders with investor, customer, and hire intros - Coordinated with LPs and founders on co-investment vehicles You'll also help run every cohort logistically end-to-end and develop our media strategy alongside the GP. ## Who you are - Driven and care deeply about American manufacturing and the reindustrialization movement - Energized by being around people; have built something from zero to one - Have built a real network in some corner of the world (doesn't have to be VC) - Comfortable with the messy reality of an early fund; strong writer/communicator/storyteller - Based in or willing to relocate to El Segundo. This is an in-person role. ## Comp - $100K-$150K base salary - Carry in Fund II, vesting over the fund's life - Events and travel budget Applications close July 31, 2026.
