National Security / Deep Tech Investor

About the job

Costanoa Ventures https://costanoa.vc/ is hiring an investor with a focus in national security and deep tech to join our team in San Francisco. We’re looking for someone deeply curious, self-directed, mission-driven, and obsessed with technology and entrepreneurship.

We’re a tight-knit firm that leads formation, Seed, and Series A investments.

We’re known for being one of the most hands-on teams in early-stage VC, supporting our portfolio with recruiting, go-to-market, product strategy, and raising follow-on capital. Over the past 15 years, we’ve built a >$2B AUM firm delivering exceptional returns and a culture grounded in humility, teamwork, and deep care for the craft of partnering with founders at the earliest stages of company building.
