Investor Relations Associate (Part-Time Remote)

GoingVC Investor Relations Associate

GoingVC was founded in 2016 with the goal of providing individuals with a more concrete pathway into venture capital and has continued to grow into a vibrant organization built around the mission of making venture capital education, investing, networks, and talent more accessible to those with the desire to succeed. We currently run our flagship program, two cohorts per year, as well as the active angel community, GoingVC Angels, for both new and seasoned investors to gain exposure to venture investing. GoingVC is also actively backing early-stage startups through its investment vehicle, GoingVC Partners.

GoingVC’s 16-week flagship program is aimed at helping its members take the next steps in their venture capital careers or launch their own fund. The program offers participants a multitude of opportunities to build and fortify their understanding of venture capital, as well as chances to grow their venture capital networks, and gain legitimate work experience in the field. 

We started the program because – having come from venture capital backgrounds ourselves – we experienced first-hand how challenging and competitive of an industry it is to break into, and we wanted to be a resource for others as they attempted to navigate their own paths into the business.

In January of 2024, GoingVC also announced the complete acquisition of the VC content, job, and thought leadership platforms VC Stack and Startup & VC, cumulatively expanding our following by over 100,000 readers.
