Dreaming of joining the investment team at a top climate impact fund located in Vancouver?

You’re not alone. Many talented people (like you!) have struggled to break into VC because most firms require prior investment experience.

But … what if we told you:

  • We don’t require prior investment experience to join our investment team.

  • We’ll train you to become a top performer in VC.

  • We don’t want your resume.

  • Most VCs won’t hire you—but we might. 

We’re throwing out the generic job description because we care about who you are and your potential, not just what you’ve done.

Are you up for the challenge?

Please do not apply unless you can provide a compelling argument with evidence demonstrating how you have excelled on ALL 5 of these requirements in the past: 

1. Technical Acumen

Are you a whiz with technology? Maybe you studied it in school and were top of the class? Or you started programming when you were 6 and are self taught? Or you built an app to help your parents file their expenses and taxes? Or you are leveraging AI to be a way more productive human than all your friends and colleagues?

2. Detail Orientation

Is this a superpower for you? Do others always compliment you on this? Have you received assignments or promotions due to this attribute? Have you taken personality tests that scored you high on this? Did your boss or professor ask you to be an editor to check their work for accuracy?

3. Sourcing

Have you ever had to sell ‘’door to door’ or do ‘cold calling’? Did you kick ass selling with high volume and high quality? Describe how you’ve excelled at finding hidden opportunities or leads that others couldn’t. These examples can draw from any field.

4. Mission Alignment

If you don’t care deeply about climate, this is not the place for you. Have you studied sustainability at school? Volunteered for a climate cause? Chosen a climate career in a startup or large company? 

5. Financial Acumen

Are you a whiz with numbers? Maybe you studied it in school and were top of the class? Or, you were always hired to be the banker among your friends and family? Won a math contest? Master of the spreadsheet? Can explain financial reporting to my grandma? Modeled your own portfolio for fun? Play math games in your spare time?

How to Apply:

In 500 words or less, tell us how you embody these five qualities. Be specific and creative—draw from any part of your life or career. We’re looking for stories and examples that reflect your potential and personality.
