Founder Associate

  • Full-time

Company Description

Rypples is an ocean-focused impact investment firm created by two impact unicorn founders on a mission to accelerate the transition to a sustainable world. We invest in entrepreneurs who are rethinking how we use, protect, and nurture the ocean. Our north star is to help scale more ocean positive solutions faster.

Job Description

As a Founder Associate (and our first hire 🙂), you will work on a wide range of topics to drive the execution of our strategy.

That would include:

  • Organize the way we work (Technology, processes,…)
  • Help build the brand and extend our network
  • Evaluate markets and investment opportunities
  • Conduct due diligence and build investment cases
  • Work with portfolio companies to report impact and performance

And much more...

Qualifications

First of all, you have a conviction that we must (and can) become the first sustainable generation and you are willing to dedicate your professional life to help us get there.

This is a pretty pivotal role in an early stage fast growing investment firm, perfect for an ex-founder or someone with VC/Consulting experience who wants to become one. You will enjoy the role if you are a fast thinker who thrives in ambiguity and rapid change on the edge of their comfort zone. You’ll also need to be well-versed in finance and investing, be a super strong communicator and have an overall positive infinite mindset.

The role is remote but you need to be in a US/EU friendly timezone. Diverse teams perform better so ideally you bring something different that widens our perspective.
