Human Capital is a venture firm for builders. We believe ambitious builders turn great ideas into great companies. We invest in founders, teams, and startups that share this mindset.
In the last 6 years, that mantra has led us to invest in 15 companies before they became unicorns, including Snowflake, Anduril, Livongo, and Brex (where we wrote the first check). We have over $1.3B in total capital committed and we've built a community of over 5,000 incredible, driven, ambitious builders.
Now we're looking for a Chief of Staff for our Co-founder and President to help write our next chapter.

THE ROLE
As the Chief of Staff to our co-founder and President, Baris Akis, you’ll be his right hand and strategic partner—a pivotal role that’s perfect for someone who, like Baris, is equally obsessed with both entrepreneurship and investing. You’ll help Human Capital build the programs and initiatives that feed our early-stage investments, support our founders, and empower our teams.
Your role will be a never-boring mix of a variety of functions, because Baris spends his time across a variety of them, too—including early-stage investments, future founder programs, and portfolio operations. On any given day, you’ll play product manager, growth, ops, VC associate, consultant, and program leader roles. Along the way, you’ll play a key role in creating integral programs and systems that enable, build and scale our early-stage investment strategy.
You'll also learn how a venture capital firm (really) runs, and develop a keen understanding of what it takes to successfully launch new businesses—ideal if you think you want to start something yourself in the near future.
