About the Firm

Positive Sum is building an investment firm that backs the next generation of platforms with capital and support to pursue their vision. We started with an incredible community of investors and operators that loved Invest Like The Best. Now, with 11 portfolio companies, we’re excited to build the operation and products to support those companies, the next 100 that work with Positive Sum, and the broader entrepreneurial ecosystem.

The Impact You'll Have

The Head of Operations will be critical to scaling Positive Sum. That means we need to build processes and products that make Positive Sum a platform that supports entrepreneurs. First, managing all the details that make a firm like ours run smoothly, so we can focus on investing and supporting companies. Second, seamlessly interacting with companies from the time we meet them, through the diligence process, and after we invest. You will be a critical part of making all this work, supporting prospective investments, portfolio companies, and limited partners.
