Role Description
South Park Commons is a community of builders, tinkerers, and domain experts that challenge you, encourage you, help you build and validate your ideas. We believe good ideas very rarely come about in isolation. We like to partner with entrepreneurs early in their journey and look to lead or co-lead the first round of financing. Read more about the community and fund in the New York Times and Forbes.
The South Park Commons Fund was co-founded by Aditya Agarwal, one of the first engineers at Facebook. Since then, he co-founded Cove and then served as the Dropbox CTO for 6 years. He has made over 100 early-stage investments in a portfolio that ranges from Pinterest, Quora, Asana, Brex to cryptocurrencies and biotech companies like Stemcentrx. You’ll have an incredible opportunity to work hand-in-hand with Aditya on both the community and fund to define the next generation of great companies and shepherd them to technical and operational excellence.
