NYC: Fintech + Wealth Management: We are looking for an investor to expand our portfolio in fintech and wealth management. Current investments include Altruist, Vanilla, Moment, Personal Capital, Numerated and SmartBiz.
About Venrock:
Originally established as the venture arm of the Rockefeller family in 1969, Venrock is an early-stage venture capital firm.

Specifically, you will identify, qualify, and help lead new investments, represent Venrock, and work closely with the portfolio and across the firm. We are focused on early stage investing only, and tend to pursue non-consensus opportunities (rather than chase the same deals everyone else does) and our culture embraces first principles, initiative, and creative thinking.
