Who we are:
New Venture is a small, national boutique with a different approach. We focus on a small portfolio of clients, giving each one highly focused hands-on support from even our most senior team. We work with formative stage technology companies in the IT and clean tech markets, and we also work closely with a number of leading VC firms. This cross section of entrepreneurs and investors provides our team a unique, insightful perspective into trends and issues as well as a greater understanding of what it takes to build and grow leading companies. Our team is small and quick, with every team member sinking deeply into every aspect of every client program. There is no hierarchy, just a roll-up-your-sleeves attitude and approach with limitless opportunities to try new things and collapse learning curves. This position is a great opportunity to gain a tremendous breadth of experience without being put in a box.
