FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I apply if my school has a few or no G. Ventures Analysts or Scouts?
Yes! We're always looking to expand into new schools and highly encourage that you bring your expertise and school spirit to our team.
What do Analysts do?
You meet and find great founders, evaluate companies, work with regional investment partners through weekly meetings, invest capital in founders, and build the G. Ventures community. We expect Analysts to commit 2-4 hours per week.
What do we look for in an Analyst?
Ideal candidates show strong enthusiasm for startups and venture capital. We don't require an internship in either field, but we'd love to see examples of a strong network at your school — be sure to tell us your connections to entrepreneurs on campus and how you can bring companies into the G. Ventures family. While we don't require a technical background, we love evidence that you can get things done, efficiently and proactively, and can critically make decisions to give advice to founders. Keep in mind that G. Ventures is also our own startup. We love people who can make the community stronger, more inclusive, and representative across the country.
How do I best prepare for the application and interview?
In your application, please take the time to provide responses that tell your story. We value thoughtful responses that show you've put time into our application. If you receive an interview offer, be prompt to your interview and ensure you're in a well-lit, noiseless area. We don't expect a full tux and gown, but double check that your unmade bed isn't distracting the interviewer, and triple check your computer's audio beforehand.
