At Expa we’re dedicated to being the best place for entrepreneurs to create and build companies. Expa was founded in 2013 by Uber co-founder Garrett Camp to help bring great ideas to life. We’re builders, founders, and operators ourselves, know the struggles that come with starting a new company, and what it takes to succeed. We support entrepreneurs with more than just funding — we offer a valuable network, office space, and our advice and expertise.

Crucial to our success, we’re hiring an Associate based anywhere in the US, who will be responsible for helping us identify the next generation of great entrepreneurs, support our existing portfolio companies, and grow our Expa network. We’re searching for someone who has a strong grasp of startup investing, can take responsibility for all aspects of the deal process, and can serve as a financial and fundraising point person for our existing portfolio companies. A relationship builder, the Associate will help expand Expa’s network and closely follow local developments in the tech and VC world.

Expa is a tight-knit, cross-functional team that avoids politics, moves quickly and supports one another. We are growing our team of like-minded individuals who share an ethos of empathy, service, and curiosity.
