A little background about what associates at venture funds do:

According to a great blog post by Mark Suster (http://www.bothsidesofthetable.com/2014/01/08/please-help-me-congratulate-jordan-hudson-as-upfrontvcs-newest-investment-principal/), associates have different functions at different VCs. Usually there roles are a combination of:

  • Deal sourcing for partners
  • Deal screening
  • Deal support / analysis / quant / legal for deals a partner is seriously considering
  • Portfolio company support & analysis
  • Portfolio community building
  • Industry reviews
  • VC firm admin
  • VC firm policy or fund analysis
  • Helping be the VC “presence” at key events
  • Alumni activities
