The Role

The a16z Seed Startup School is a set of classes and a companion library that helps seed stage startup founders build technology companies. When we make seed-stage investments, we invite founders to join our classes and give them access to our library of content with relevant, time-tested, and practical advice on company building.

As the a16z Seed Startup School Program Coordinator, you will help “keep the trains running on time” by scheduling events and meetings, keeping our systems up to date with the latest data, creating and improving processes, building and running reports, and staying coordinated with the broader team that serves seed founders.
