LightSpeed Innovations Work/Partner Opportunities

For those of you who want to learn, who want a challenge, come join us!

We have learned over the past 3 years here at LightSpeed Innovations, that through paying it forward and building the aerospace/deep tech startup ecosystem,  we have created a unique environment for those who are interested in startups, but are not in the position of joining one. 

Through the various ways mentors share their expertise and time, they have shared in the success and failures as team members of newly formed companies. Some mentors who have worked with us through a couple of cycles  have joined us more formally to learn the investment side of the business.   

​Because we believe in building out and expanding the investment universe, we have created a program that brings folks on in various roles as venture fellows to allow them to share their time and learn about assessing and accelerating startups in the aerospace startup ecosystem.   

And, so, we ask those of you who are interested in join us.  Please indicate your interest by going to our Mentors, Advisors & Coaches section and fill out the information.  Please apply by sending us (uploading) your resume and a short cover letter noting what position (or positions) you are interested in and why, while highlighting your unique qualifications.   
​Lead Mentor/SME

Most of you who are interested in working with startups start out as a mentor.  Our mentors leverage their backgrounds to support the companies.  All play the role of a pitch coach. 

A successful candidate will have a mix of technical, analytical, strategic, and project management for execution capabilities. 
​Venture Analyst
Those who are willing to dedicate off hours to learning more about the business side are welcome to join us as a Venture Analyst. 

 The key role of the analyst is to network, take part in industry and VC events, keep an eye on latest industry trends, and learn about market trends and startup trends.  Venture Analysts also might have some degree of involvement into the deal process (i.e. due diligence, market analysis, some valuation work) but their focus is largely on "origination".  You may get involved with our Frontier Tech Investment Network.

This is a very entrepreneurial role, and analysts in VCs are often very well connected and aware of the latest happenings in the industry. 

You will help with deal flow, and you'll be able to help us gauge market and industry trends - where your observations will provide insights into the strategies employed by companies who apply to our programs.  You will also help with assessing company pitches. 
​Venture Fellow
 
Those who have mentored with us and have acted as a Venture Analyst are then eligible to join our Venture Fellow program.  This is a more comprehensive position that provides deeper insight into the analytical side of investing, and support to portfolio companies. 

Venture Fellows perform market research to help identify new investment trends and opportunities.  They: 
· Conduct deal screening: call and/or meet with prospects, evaluate opportunities ·
* Document/ summarize call notes, enter deals into CRM
 *Gather information from the target company and industry experts
· Research and talk to existing references and customers of the target company
· Research potential competitors to the target company
· Research and talk with technical/business consultants to evaluate the target company’s technology including IPs
· Conduct background checks on the current management of the target company
· Perform valuation analysis via modelling
· Help preparing internal investment memos
 
 Venture Fellows usually have deep work experience and/or have an  MBA from a top business school, have outstanding analytical skills, detail-oriented, proactive and self-motivated · They like data analysis and have strong knowledge of Excel, possibly experience with cash flow modeling and investment valuation techniques ·
