Venture Capital Jobs and Internships at Rhino Ventures

The importance of who you select as your funding partners is one of many critical decisions a founder will make. We know it is entrepreneurial ambition that drives value, not venture capitalists, which is why we appreciate the importance of funder and founder alignment. Our investment is a partnership; we work alongside you to extend your team’s capacity by adding tangible value where we can. Sometimes that’s getting in the trenches and other times it’s having the humility to step back.

HOW WE INVEST

We don’t waste founders' time. We believe being founder friendly means acting with conviction. In or out, we’ll tell you. We run a strict four week investment process with stage gates at the end of each week.

• REVENUE GENERATING: Near term or in revenue businesses that have low burn rates and are focused on building a solid cash-flow business
• STAYING POWER: We look for companies that have a durable competitive advantage - we shy away from the proverbial “land grab” as the only source of differentiation
• FOUNDER FIRST: We look for “storm chasers” who can solve hard problems with the least amount of work
• BUSINESSES WE UNDERSTAND: We invest in companies where we can add tangible value; identifying logical partners, talent acquisition, scaling/growth pain points

WHAT WE DO

• STAGE: Pre-Seed through A
• CHEQUE SIZE: $500k - $5M
• GEO: Canada, Globally (specific verticals)
• SECTOR: Agnostic
• BOARD: Preferred, but not mandatory
• LEAD: We lead the majority of our rounds

FUND PERFORMANCE

We release our fund performance to help founders determine if we are the best partner for their company. Our job begins, not ends, when we make an investment and we believe that if our funds aren’t performing, we aren’t doing our job supporting founders.
