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.

• 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.

What We’re Looking For

Key Considerations:

• Demonstrated passion for startups, technology, and early-stage investing
• Bachelor’s degree required; 1–2 years of relevant work experience preferred
  • Background in investment banking, private equity, management consulting, or early-stage startups is a strong plus
  • Technical, engineering, or product experience is a bonus
• Strong quantitative and qualitative analytical skills, with familiarity using AI tools for research and productivity
• Proficiency in financial statement analysis and Excel modeling
• Ability to produce investor-ready memos, presentations, and reports
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Highly organized with an obsessive attention to detail
• Creative problem solver with the ability to think strategically and execute tactically
• Entrepreneurial mindset—you’ll be part of a small team where taking initiative and contributing ideas is encouraged and expected

We value team players who are intellectually curious, proactive, and energized by the opportunity to work directly with founders and shape early investment decisions.

Why Join ERA?

• Accelerated Learning Curve – Work across both accelerator and early-stage investing, gaining direct exposure to hundreds of early-stage companies.
• Close-Knit Team Environment – Collaborate directly with seasoned partners and decision-makers.
• Real Impact – Your insights will influence investments and shape the future of ERA’s portfolio.
• Location & Culture – Work from our Flatiron office alongside dozens of startup founders—right in the heart of NYC tech!
