Operating Partner - Founder Services & Platform

Unusual Ventures is an early-stage venture capital firm focused on working with the very best enterprise software founders. We are looking for an Operating Partner to lead our Founder Services and Platform teams.

We want a builder — and, just as importantly, a manager and a coordinator: someone who will own the details, run the team, and make sure our support reaches founders on time and at quality.

The Role

This is a builder's role with a Partner's scope and ownership. You will be one of Unusual's Operating Partners, on equal footing with our CFO and Operating Partner.

You will work closely with John Vrionis to organize and direct the resources of our Founder Services and Platform teams, and you will own the day-to-day — leading the people, setting priorities, and making sure our support reaches founders when and where they need it.

You will care deeply about helping founders, whatever the need. Some days that is a critical executive hire. Others it is sharpening go-to-market, opening a door to a customer, landing a piece of coverage, or getting a founder in the right room. You will meet each company where it is, at whatever stage, and marshal the firm's resources to move it forward.

• 1. Passive sourcing mentality or waiting for inbound deals instead of hunting outbound
• 2. Superficial understanding of early-stage unit economics and cap table dynamics
• 3. Arrogance or dismissing founders during pitch evaluation roleplays

I partner with outlier early-stage founders by combining rigorous technical due diligence with aggressive, hands-on GTM acceleration.
