Venture Capital Jobs and Internships at Altos Ventures
Altos was founded in 1996 to invest in early-stage technology companies. Our investment team has worked together through both good and bad markets over multiple decades.
We are privileged to invest on behalf of institutional investors, most with charitable, educational, or non-profit missions. Serving entrepreneurs is a calling for us, and we look to partner with companies with an equally strong sense of purpose.
Founder Oriented
The world’s most iconic companies have been built and run by founders. We prefer to partner with management with an ownership mentality – leaders with a vision for the future, creating value for all stakeholders, with an eye on the bottom line.
Fundamentals Focused
We make initial investments in early-stage companies tackling emerging consumer and enterprise opportunities. We look to partner with management to build world-class businesses based on strong operating fundamentals and attractive unit economics.
Uncommonly Patient
We are known for our uncommonly patient approach to building companies. We look for opportunities to deepen our relationships with high-performing companies, and can make significant capital commitments more than a decade after our initial investment.
Contrarian by Nature
We don’t chase trends or hot sectors. We work from first principles, evaluating each team, company and market on its independent merits. We avoid overfunded areas and prefer companies taking idiosyncratic approaches to solving big problems.
