True Ventures

Want to work for a startup this summer? True Ventures is hiring.

True Ventures is a seed and very early stage venture capital firm with offices in San Francisco, Silicon Valley, and Northern Virginia. We partner with talented entrepreneurs to help them build businesses in software and services, Internet, new media, gaming, mobile, and infrastructure. These are rapidly growing young companies that we think will shape or transform their target markets. You can help.

This summer, we are inviting a group of students to take part in the second True Entrepreneur Corps (TEC) program and join our portfolio companies in the San Francisco Bay area and across the country. As a member of TEC, you will be paired with one of our companies and spend eight weeks working on a variety of projects both appropriate to your background and skill set and of value to the company. For example, you could help design a new user interface for an e-commerce marketplace. You could help write code for a new Facebook game or a mobile sweepstakes. You could do market research to support the editors of one of the leading technology blog platforms.

Who are we looking for:

Hardworking, entrepreneurially minded students in the class of 2011 or 2012. Any major or educational interest may apply.

What makes us different:

We partner with promising entrepreneurs at the earliest stages in the highest-growth segments of the technology market, where history demonstrates the best rates of return. Along the way, we provide hands-on management support to guide our portfolio companies through the challenges of early growth. Then, in subsequent financing rounds, we work with trusted colleagues at other top-tier funds to build valuable syndicates for your company, but we have the financial strength to participate for the long term. Our team has directly founded over half a dozen startups and has over seventy years of combined venture capital experience. We like to put that experience to work for our entrepreneurs.
