Today, we’re announcing a new initiative to help technical founders launch a company that serves startups and / or venture capital investors.

The Technical Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR) program is designed for engineers who anticipate starting a company in the next 2-3 years. The program will combine real-world product & engineering work at AngelList Venture with the ability to meet top founders and investors. EIRs will gain a deep understanding of how venture capital and startups work by building products that serve VCs and founders.

At the end of the two-year program, AngelList plans to invest at least $150k in companies started by EIRs and introduce participants to top investors.

EIRs will:

  • Work on a product line within AngelList that serves startup founders or venture capitalists, either through zero to one products within AngelList Stack or on fundraising products like Rolling Funds.
  • Build & ship software every day.
  • Interact with top founders and emerging fund managers.
  • Learn about venture capital & scaling a startup.
  • Receive a competitive salary & benefits.

Apply if you:

  • Have a technical background.
  • Want to start a company sometime in the next three years.

The first batch of applications opens today and is open for two weeks, until March 21st.
