We’re hiring a Principal at Quiet Capital. Quiet is a five-partner VC firm managing over $5 billion. We were early investors in Deel, ElevenLabs, Mercury, Reddit, OpenAI, among many others. We invest from pre-seed to Series A in outlier founders who are creating entirely new categories, not incrementally improving existing ones. AI is compressing most of the analytical work that investors spend their time on. Research, diligence, models, memos. What used to take a week takes an afternoon. The parts of this job that will define the next era of great investors are the parts that can’t be automated: being the person a founder calls before they’ve told anyone they’re raising, and being the person they want to work with when they have multiple term sheets. That’s the role we’re hiring for. Our ideal Principal has probably started a company, been an early employee at a high-growth startup, or invested at another firm. When an ambitious founder is deciding who to spend time with, they respect your experience because you’ve been in their shoes. You’re already in the right group chats and getting texts when someone is starting something new. You like meeting 20 people a week and know exactly which two the team needs to spend more time with. This is a role where you’ll work alongside our entire partnership. The kind of person we want gets energy from coffees with founders in the morning, Zooms in the afternoon, events in the evening, and traveling. We’re looking for someone with high agency, high energy, competitive drive, taste, humility, and curiosity. This person must be based in SF or NYC. If this is you, email me. I’d love to talk. If you know someone this sounds like, send them this post. If there’s someone I should meet, even if they’re not looking, send me their name. I’ll reach out thoughtfully.
