$45–$100/h

Remote

Role overview

Role Title: Venture Capital Associate


Role Type: Contractor


Location: Remote


micro1 is engaging Venture Capital Associates to contribute to a groundbreaking project focused on building datasets that capture the nuanced workflows of modern venture capital. In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters.


Scope of Work

  1. Design and author project tasks that reflect authentic VC workflows, including deal screening, market sizing (TAM/SAM/SOM), competitive analysis, founder evaluation, and investment committee (IC) memorandum drafting.
  2. Analyze early-stage and growth startups across financials, product-market fit, market opportunities, competitive positioning, and team effectiveness with the rigor and depth expected at partner meetings.
  3. Construct and interpret financial projections, cap tables, and scenario analyses for early-stage companies.
  4. Assess and provide qualitative feedback on AI-generated content, evaluating pattern-matching, market sizing, and how well outputs mirror real-world VC judgment.
  5. Collaborate with project leads to calibrate evaluation rubrics, refine task complexity, and identify content gaps across sectors and company stages.
  6. Document methodologies and standardize best practices that reflect modern VC analysis and decision-making processes.


Preferred Qualifications

  1. 3–6+ years of experience at a venture capital, growth equity firm, or as an operator/founder with significant deal evaluation exposure.
  2. MBA, Master’s in Finance, or equivalent advanced degree; graduates of Wharton or other top-tier programs strongly welcomed.
  3. Direct experience crafting IC memos and performing diligence on deals reviewed by investment partners.
  4. Proven ability to conduct market sizing, founder assessment, and competitive landscape analysis under ambiguity.
  5. Exceptional written communication skills, demonstrated by concise, precise, and analytical documentation at a professional or IC-memo standard.
  6. Strong analytical reasoning, especially in situations with incomplete or ambiguous data.
  7. Experience working across various company stages (pre-seed to growth) and across multiple sectors is a plus.

How big is the remote / hybrid opportunity?

Remote work is already huge — but the bigger story may be the hundreds of millions of jobs that could still move beyond geography.

Global remote and hybrid work opportunity infographic

Remote work already connects millions of people with companies they would never have been able to work for a decade ago. But compared with the size of the global labour market, it may still be early.

The interesting number is not only how many people work remotely today — it is how many roles could plausibly become remote or hybrid next.

The chart above starts with roughly 3.3 billion people employed worldwide. Around 300 million jobs are already remote or hybrid, while an additional pool of roughly 250 million roles could potentially move in that direction as technology, workflows and company culture continue to change.

Skills are becoming more portable

This matters because more work can increasingly be matched to expertise rather than location. AI training and evaluation are a good example: companies need lawyers, engineers, designers, editors, researchers, finance professionals and many other specialists to help improve AI systems.

For workers, that creates access to projects outside their local market. For companies, it expands the talent pool from one city or country to the world.
