Job description

THE ROLE

We are looking for an Investment Associate to join our dynamic and growing firm in Atlanta. As part of the Tech Square Ventures investment team, you will play an integral role in supporting the full investment process — from sourcing to diligence to deal execution and portfolio company support. This isn’t just an analytical role — it’s a front‑row seat to the startup ecosystem in the Super South (Texas to DC) and beyond. You’ll connect with founders, corporate executives, and investors; analyze emerging market trends; build foundation skills as a technology investor; and help portfolio companies grow.

• Source & Evaluate Investments – Identify and assess early‑stage opportunities across the Super South, building relationships with founders, accelerators, investors, and startup networks to drive the investment pipeline.
• Collaborate on Investment Themes – Work with our Working Groups to refine investment theses, track market trends, and develop industry and sector insights that fuel our Market‑Led Insights investment approach.
• Support the Diligence Process – Partner with the investment team on market research, customer interviews, competitive analysis, and product/technical diligence for new investments.
• Build Financial Models & Memos – Develop models, forecasts, return and valuation analyses, and prepare materials for investment memos and committee presentations.
• Help Portfolio Companies Scale – Support founders with go‑to‑market strategies, customer and investor introductions, hiring needs, fundraising, tracking and monitoring progress, reporting, and cap‑table modeling.
• Leverage Internal Tools & AI – Build and use AI and internal tooling to augment investment analysis, automate repetitive workflows, and enhance decision‑making.
• Participate in Firm Operations – Assist the fund administration team in reporting, preparing portfolio reviews, executing the annual general meeting, and special projects.

This is a 2‑year program role designed for a highly motivated professional eager to launch or accelerate a career in venture capital. High performers will have the potential for advancement to Senior Associate or other roles within the firm. Tech Square Ventures alumni have gone on to become VC partners, corporate executives, and operators at high‑growth startups.

This role is Atlanta‑based and requires working from our Midtown office, as well as actively representing TSV in ecosystem events, conferences, and founder gatherings across the region.

• Strong analytical skills to dissect business models, markets, and financials.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to create clear, persuasive materials.
• Robust financial modeling, data analysis, problem‑solving, and Excel skills.
• Fluency with startup go‑to‑market strategies, scaling, and operations is a plus.
