Job Title: Investment Analyst
Location: New York, NY (In-Person)
Start Date: ASAP
Overview:
Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator (ERA) is hiring an Investment Analyst to join our team in New York City. This is a unique opportunity to build hands-on experience in early-stage venture capital investing and accelerator operations. As part of both the ERA Accelerator and our affiliated early-stage venture fund, Remarkable Ventures, you’ll gain unparalleled access to founders, operators, and investors shaping the next generation of tech.
About ERA:
ERA is one of NYC’s most active early-stage venture capital firms and a top accelerator program. Since 2011, we’ve backed 350+ companies at the pre-seed stage and invested in 120+ startups through Seed, Series A, and Series B from our Remarkable Ventures fund.
Our portfolio includes four unicorns (and counting!) and has raised more than $2B in follow-on funding. Our founders are driving innovation across nearly every global industry. Select investments include TripleLift, Thirty Madison, Glia, Katapult, Nayya, Rilla, Scentbird, and many more.
What You’ll Do
The Investment Analyst will join ERA’s investment team. This is a full-time, in-person position. The role requires participation in several different investment-related activities. Investment stages include pre-seed accelerator investing and early-stage venture investing in Seed, Series A, and Series B rounds. You’ll work across the full investment lifecycle—from sourcing deals to supporting founders post-investment:
- Deal Sourcing & Founder Engagement: Meet with early-stage founders, evaluate accelerator applicants, and participate in startup interviews.
- Investment Analysis & Diligence: Support ERA partners in evaluating opportunities—analyzing financials, market positioning, customer references, product demos, and technical architecture. You will present your findings to our investment committee to directly inform decision-making.
- Portfolio Reporting & LP Communications: Work directly with ERA’s CFO to develop clear, data-driven reports on firm performance, portfolio valuations, and company-level updates. You’ll synthesize insights from board materials and internal data to deliver investor-ready updates for both Partners and LPs.
- Portfolio Company Support: Help founders refine investor materials, build financial models, and tackle strategic planning.
- Ecosystem Building & Networking: Cultivate relationships with top founders, investors, and startup ecosystem stakeholders in NYC and beyond.
