WHO YOU ARE

Applies across levels, but expectations scale with seniority

• You have a great read on people and talentt. While building community, you know exactly who to filter directly to the GP. While communicating with founders, talent, LPs, co-investors, and portfolio companies, you have a supernatural sense of their needs and feelings.
• You love meeting strangers.
• You have a bias toward action and ownership. You get stuff done.
• No task is beneath you, too boring, or beyond your abilities.
